Watch a bit of the 1st half. BM is a better team and we are playing eleny & mineral as **. Lacazette is not bad,he is very mobile and has quick feet. Welbeck is cui,his ball control not good enough.Kola is very aggressive and has good acceleration.
Some of the young players play do one touch football very well. Good offensively but not so good defensively.
We were tormented by Ribery thru out. Defensively,the back line gets beaten easily.
The polish youngster beike didn't fare too badly,pretty composed.

I think Bayern players are at their peak in terms of physical fitness. Guys like Sanches and Tolisso look average from afar but last night they were like two midfield tanks. They are quite strong. Look at Ribery. He's almost 35 (I think) and he is probably Bayern's most fittest player. They really took care of him in order for him to play at the highest level at that age even after he came back from a recent long-term injury. Whereas our medical staff cannot even catch a break from attending someone at the treatment table. Bayern is a team who can function efficiently for the full 90 mins.

Apart from Bayern's fullbacks and Muller, I think their squad is superior to any BPL teams.

that's true. but fitness can be trained. they are very comfortable with the ball and most times we are juz chasing like blind chicken. funny thing is when bayern play in their league, victory is not guaranteed. they don't appear as superior against other German opponents. there's something else that we lack. it could be tactical and its the manager responsibility to organise the tram and not simply let the players 'express
themselces',

Bayern has always been tactically-discipline. That's why I believe they can operate efficiently at 90 minutes. Our team is like when they sense the opposition is backing out, we keep attacking and attacking and few minutes later concede to a counter by the opponent. You rarely see them get exposed. They are patient and know how to pick the opposition into pieces slowly. We as Arsenal fans know this all to well...

Let go the big name attackers and put in those youngsters.
Buy few more world class center back, full back to strengthen the backline which still very weak.

Walcott play worst than youth player. Don't deserve his place. The rest so so. Welbeck for some reason need to wake up. I would say Arsenal won the FA cup because of his direct play

Same old Gunner playing Chelsea lost at 0-3.
Defensively weak, attacking also very lousy.
