[Player Ratings] Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal: Ozil & Giroud Impress For Poor Gunners

Arsenal’s hopes of qualifying from Group F received a blow after losing 5-1 to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.

Here are my ratings:

Cech  6.5/10 | Actually kept the score down by making a few decent saves, including one excellent stop from Muller.

Debuchy  4/10 | Another poor showing from the Frenchman. Skinned numerous times by the likes of Alaba.

Mertesacker  5/10 | Poor attempt to close down the Muller’s first goal and lack of pace was exposed.

Gabriel  5/10 | At fault for the opener as he played Lewandowski onside for the opener.

Monreal  5/10 | Another who was caught out by Bayern’s superb pace and movement in attack.

Cazorla  5.5/10 | Missed a glorious chance to score by fired straight at Muller. Also lost possession for the third goal.

Coquelin  5.5/10 | Worked hard as usual but couldn’t get a hold of the midfield.

Campbell  4/10 | Disappointing display. Failed to help out Debuchy sufficiently and was subbed early in the second half.

Ozil  6.5/10 | Slightly unfortunate to see his elbowed goal ruled out and was our most dangerous player.

Alexis  5/10 | Set up the Giroud goal with a lovely ball but did little else. Looks tired.

Giroud  6.5/10 | Stunning goal and linked up well with his team mates whenever he saw the ball. Worked hard under tough conditions.

Subs:

Gibbs [6], Iwobi [N/A], Chambers [N/A]

It was certainly a night to forget and qualification from the group is now out of our hands. If Olympiakos get a result in Munich, we’re screwed. If Bayern do us a favour and we beat Zagreb, then we need to beat the Greeks by two clear goals to take second spot.
