Roy Keane opens fire on Arsenal after Champions League drubbing

While Wenger’s position is coming under ever-increasing pressure, BBC Sport report there is no possibility of the Arsenal manager leaving before the end of the current season.

The Colombian has started all six of the Gunners’ European fixtures this season, with Petr Cech being used in the Premier League.

The 5-1 scoreline was also an exact replica of the result when the two sides last met at the Allianz Arena in the same competition on Nov 4, 2015.

“It was hard to shake off the two goals in quick succession – we lost our organisation and our centre back”.

Germany forward Thomas Mueller is enduring a goal drought with just one goal in 17 league games this term, but Robert Lewandowski has hit 23 goals in all competitions and is relishing the Arsenal showdown.

‘We didn’t. Bayern played very well – they have some top-class players who can make the difference in front.

This feels like the kind of game that could pass him by, and Munich isn’t an easy place to rediscover your form.

“We have won there before and we play the first game away from home, so it’s important we protect the second game because I feel that to have a chance to qualify in the second leg, that will be very important”.

“I am not looking for excuses. The fact that he hasn’t been able to get a response from the players in the last few weeks might be the final straw”.

“That is the first time I’ve seen him where I’ve thought, “He thinks it’s time”.

“It’s so obvious that they fight for so long and then they lose inspiration”.

“I think he should go and I’d say that, like most people in football, with a sad heart because of what he’s done”.

Roy Keane was just one high-profile pundit to query the decision, with the former Manchester United skipper saying on ITV: “If he’s your captain, your leader, the guy who’s going to bring everyone together, you’re in huge trouble!”

It certainly seems as though the fans have had enough though as it’s believed that thousands of tickets have become available for the second leg with Bayern at the Emirates.

“I do think we’ve come to the end of a cycle whereby it’s time for a new man with a different voice and new methods”.

Amid deafening whistles from the home fans, Manuel Neuer saved Sanchez’ weak spot kick and Sanchez then missed the rebound but the Chilean cut the Bayern fans’ cheers short when he prodded in at the third attempt. Twice in the last four years, it was Bayern that eliminated Arsenal.
