It may seem excessive at this early stage to think that this week could be a defining one in Arsenal's season. Once again, however, there is trouble afoot in north London and there was no doubt going into this fixture how significant it would be before Chelsea's visit in the Women's Super League on Saturday. The manner of this defeat and the way Arsenal conceded the last three goals will have been particularly galling for Eidevall as pressure continues to mount.
“We have no choice but to put this game here behind us - take the necessary learnings from it and get ready for the task on Saturday,” the Arsenal manager said.
“The first half was a good half of football for us. Maybe we were a bit unlucky having the game tied 1-1. Second half, I think Bayern upped their intensity. They threatened us much more with runs in behind and asked us more difficult questions. We got a little bit stretched and tired, and a little bit hesitant in our pressing. What really strikes in the second half is how we defended crosses and that is not good enough.”
