A return of one point from a possible 15 does not make for good reading and even if the young Gunners were to get a victory away to PSV next month it would do little to gloss over what has been a dismal return to the pinnacle of European youth football for the club.
Further players could be missing against PSV if they are needed for the first-team against the same opponents. The Youth League is a fantastic competition but playing the games on the same day as Champions League matches makes it difficult for players to flit between the two squads.
Some bizarre tactical decisions certainly haven't helped matters. In the defeat at home to Lens yesterday, for example, it was difficult to decipher exactly what Arsenal's formation was, with striker Omari Benjamin being completely isolated.
