I think people under estimate how difficult it is to win the Europa league because of the period before we were regulars in it when Sevilla were winning it and Celtic and Fulham both reached the final
Now the CL drop outs enter and teams in general from leagues like Spain are stronger than they once were (the non CL level teams I mean)
We've not come close to winning it and we frequently have been in or around the top four - I'm not trying to downplay how difficult it is to breach the top four but I'm surprised how so many people think the Europa league is easier
It's at least as difficult in my opinion - depending on which CL teams drop into it after the group stages
