Entirely agree. Surely the experience of palying in Europe is worth something.
We lost out this year but I honestly think we are two or three good signings away from being a decent team. Imagine a good keeper, a goalscorer at no.10 and a more dominant central midfielder! It can be done.

Because when the tough questions were asked we weren't good enough, that's why. Kiev weren't all that yet they battered us. Big improvement required if we are to have a realistic chance of winning it.

We were able to beat them at home.
The touch questions being asked coincided with a shambolic defensive display involving Alcaraz. Stones returned for the next game after Kiev, stayed in the team, and we conceded just 2 goals in the next 5 games.
Personally I don't want us in the Europa League next season. I feel we would be better off getting our transfer dealings done early, reflect on what happen this season and be willing adjust the tactics/game approach etc. accordingly, bring our fitness levels up and get a competitive pre-season under our belts. Then hit the ground running in the 2015/16 season; ironing out all our kinks, then face a European campaign the following season fitter and more confident to cope with the extra demands that it offers.
In reality I see us having a similar season to the one we just had, leaving a lot of disgruntled fans asking 'so how long do we give this clown before we sack him'.

Ace for Goodison nights and foreign beer ups, but unless you get to at least the semis and the final...

Surely is a good thing.
If we want to progress as a team we need to get used to playing two times a week + the travel involved in Europe + as such learning to maintain performance levels in both competitions.
This is part of the journey, if we want to get there and perform we need to develop the team mentality to go with that, and that only comes from playing in Europe on a consistent basis.
+ money and opportunities to give young fringe players gametime.

Just read that if we did get through via fair play, when we would be due to play the second qualifying round tie on the 16th July, we are also set to play Stoke in the Barclay's Asia Trophy in Singapore on the same date.

here is a thought for anyone who wants to focus on the league only.
What if this season wasn't a blip and we do terrible next year? Wouldn't a winning run in europe take some of that away like this season?
Also how do you get used to playing twice a week unless you start playing twice a week?!
