Bayern was better, but the game could've very easily ended tied with a little luck. Biggest difference is quality in the final thirds, their defense clamped down any time we got near the box whereas anytime they had numbers going forward they seemed to get a decent opportunity. Arsenal desperately lack that forward who can make something out of nothing, like Drogba was for Chelsea last year

ETA: Also not having a real left back killed us. Not like they were sending in through balls and getting break aways or running rampant in the box. Vermaelen just couldn't guard that right touchline to save his life

We were definitely inferior for all but the opening 5 minutes and for a 10 minute stretch in the second half. They didn't really have a whole lot of chances but were brutally clinical. We scored off a corner that shouldn't have been and only really had 1, maybe 2, decent scoring opportunities all match.

My grade of the players' performances: Jack - Great, Per - terrible, TV5- bad, Poldi - bad, Ramsey - not good, everyone else - meh
