If Eidevall is trying to build a squad which is tactically flexible, which I think he is, he also has to balance the time it takes to build a flexible tactics squad with the short term need to win some while building. Before the season I expected Arsenal to finish third because of all the new players, very short pre-season, and people slowly coming back from long term injuries. So I'm OK with third for this season, but fourth and no champions league spot is too low.

An interesting point which applies equally to both Arsenal Women and Arsenal Men.
3rd place for either team will be a bit disappointing for me this season, but the main thing is continuous improvement for next season.
