3 talking points as Bayern Munich knock Arsenal out of Champions League

2. Arteta takes blame

Much like after the Aston Villa defeat, decisions made by Mikel Arteta have been brought into question, surrounding both the starting lineup as well as in-game management.

Fans online seemed particularly bemused by his distinct lack of substitutes (he used just three out of a possible five), in a game that many players on the bench felt perfectly suited for.

Players like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Emile Smith Rowe, who could have offered some much-needed attacking flair were not given so much as a minute, while Thomas Partey, among others, was also an unused substitute.

Arteta faced similar criticism after the Aston Villa defeat and, while calls for his head a very premature and drastic, in my opinion, it is an area that he clearly needs to work on, which you imagine will come with experience.
