Michael Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A big game for Frankfurt against Salzburg in the Europa League. Another good run in the Europa League this season could do wonders for the teams morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hutter has tried a variety of formations for Frankfurt during our Europa League games this season. It will be interesting to see what formation he has us play against Salzburg this evening. Of course this is do or die time. A bad result today could be very costly, so there is no room for experimentation by the Austrian manager. On the injury front, Gelson Fernandes, Lucas Torro and Marco Russ are all still out. Serbian midfielder Mijat Gacinovic is highly doubtful to be called up as he is suffering from a bad cold. While our star Austrian defender Martin Hinteregger is suspended for this match. Portuguese forwards Goncalo Paciencia and Andre Silva are both available as is Dutch target man Bas Dost, who has apparently recovered from his recent adductor problems. Kostic has been our leading scorer so far in the Europa League this season with 4 goals and no doubt he will have an important role to play once again. Paciencia and Kamada have respectively scored 3 each. A win at home today against the Austrian champions will be vital and I fully expect Frankfurt to get the win and put themselves in a good position for the return leg.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 20, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 20, 2020 It will be interesting if Ole plays this new guy on the block, Odion Ighalo and see how he gets on... "I won't tell the team today but we will have to rotate with all the games coming up," said the United manager. "He's one that could start, we've not 100% decided yet." The Norwegian added: "Odion is a different type of striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hutter has decided to play Andre Silva up front partnered by Kamada. Rode and Ilsanker are the midfielders alongside Sow. Kostic retains his usual position down the left flank, while surprisingly it's Almany Toure taking up the right wing-back position. It's an experienced defence with Hasebe back in the team alongside Abraham and N'Dicka. Trapp is in goal as usual. In general, this line-up looks quite conservative, leaving me to think that Hutter is trying to make sure that Frankfurt don't concede today. Playing the 1st leg at home is always a slight disadvantage, but I would be content with any type of win today, preferably with us not conceding a goal. Hopefully the likes of Andre Silva, Kamada and Kostic can punish the Salzburg defence and deliver a positive result today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Mata will hopefully create something for you tonight. I think Brugge will be a tough nut to crack though, Vanaken in particular is a tricky player to deal with.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 20, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 20, 2020 I would have prefered playing James & Fernandes than Lingard & Andreas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Goal Frankfurt!! Kamada scores in the 12th minute to continue his good scoring record in the Europa League this season. That's a useful early goal and hopefully we can add to it. Salzburg though had more of the possession in the opening 10 minutes. Anyway, it's a great start for Frankfurt.

I am sure you would have preferred them, especially as you have now gone down 1-0 early doors. Dennis's goal is an early set-back for United. Hopefully the Red Devils can respond positively and find the equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
