To be fair, if you replayed the group stages nine additional times, Bayern and Arsenal would both qualify for the knockout stages with a matchday or two to spare. Arsenal have pulled a really special Arsenal for even the Arsenal this CL.
City is special case, European football to City is what Newcastle away is to Mourinho or a Top 4 match is to Arsenal.
Nevertheless, while English clubs should be doing better in the CL, none of them are part of the group of clubs that can win it.
