IT'S ALL GONE HERR-SHAPED

IN THE space of four days, Arsenal's season has unravelled.

Mikel Arteta's men crashed out of the Champions League after an all-too-lame surrender in the Allianz Arena.

That comes on top of Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the title race last Sunday and suddenly a season which promised so much is in serious danger of following the same path as last year.

Arsenal were a team lacking in Champions League experience and know-how against Bayern Munich's six-time winners as the Germans once again saved their best for Europe.

Joshua Kimmich, one of Bayern's band of previous winners, scored the decisive goal and it is England captain Harry Kane who is now dreaming of a date at Wembley for the final on June 1.

Arsenal were good in spells, they even controlled parts of the game and had chances but, in reality, they looked like a team still finding their way on Europe's biggest stage.

Even more worrying for Gunners boss Arteta was the way his team suddenly look tired and fatigued as the results have dipped.
