The Gunners were thoroughly beaten 3-1 by the Bundesliga leaders in North London on Tuesday, compounding more pressure on under-fire manager Arsene Wenger as their season threatens to end trophyless yet again.
Walcott has acknowledged Arsenal's relative shortcomings when it comes to imitating other clubs in rising for big games.
"Bayern, we knew how strong they were going to be... they're very well organised, they did their job, they took their chances which is the most important thing," he told the Daily Mirror.
"There's a lot we can learn from that, learn from Bayern as well because we want to be like that.
"They're not fazed by anything. Like I say, they did a job."
Wenger has seen his position at the Emirates Stadium heavily scrutinised since the loss to the Bavarians, which followed his side's shock FA Cup exit at the hands of Championship side Blackburn a few days earlier.
But Walcott was quick to stick up for his boss, claiming the Frenchman is the best man to get them focused on the positives once more.
"We've got the best man in the job to get our heads back to where they should be," he continued.
"We need to react in a positive way straight away. We can't be down in the dumps in training. Everybody needs to be alive and alert, recover well. We've got a good run in the Premier League - we can't forget that.
"We've had some good points, very important points, so we've just got to start believing again. I think that's one of the main things - believe in how good we are, because we didn't show it against Bayern."
