Ex-Spurs boss tips Arsenal for Champions League glory after Bayern Munich shock
GLENN HODDLE has tipped Arsenal to go far in the Champions League if they become a counter-attacking team.
Wenger: We had to beat Bayern [AMBIENT]
As customary with Pep Guardiola teams, Bayern dominated possession but Arsenal were always dangerous on the break and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was forced into an excellent save to deny Theo Walcott.
Statistics from the match showed Arsene Wenger’s side had just 27 per cent of the ball and speaking on BT Sport, Hoddle thinks they should utilise the pace of their attackers.
"Arsenal have to become a counter-attacking team," he said.
Theo Walcott's pace stretched Bayern several times
“They have got to counter teams. They have pace with [Theo] Walcott, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, [Alexis] Sanchez, and [Danny] Welbeck when he gets back.
“If they can counter well and keep things tight at the back they could go a long way at this tournament.”
