What next for Arsenal

                 

Arsenal were absolutely pulled apart, a great display from Bayern Munich. Arsenal defence did not have any  protection from midfield. This Bayern team are in a different league to Arsenal. Well, they are in the Bundesliga, but you know what I mean. They have  taught Arsenal a real footballing lesson. The quality of the Bayern passing, quality of finishing and unselfish running is out of this world.
Arsenal were supposed to be compact in defence and rely on counter attacks but everything changed immediately they conceded the first goal. Although they nearly pulled a goal back immediately after conceding but Ozil decided to use his hand. Bayern Munich was in a different class than arsenal and the midfield pairing of Coquelin and Carzola was too pedestrian. While Bayern Munich were pressing high up the pitch for the ball Arsenal were inviting pressure.
Wenger a master of possession football is failing, because he is trying to play a game that is not Arsenal like. Arsene Wenger teams have been known for their short and accuracy passing but tonight their was no evidence of that.
Three points from a group consisting Olympiakos and Dinamo Zagreb is very disappointing and wenger must go back to the drawing board.

What next for Arsenal
Two games remain and I  do not see them qualifying for the second round. I think wenger should use the second team for the next two games and focus his attention to the league. In the league they have been strong but the problem maybe the state of mind of the players after this crushing defeat.
