We lost this one at home. Embarrassing to have conceded two while one man up. Frankfurt obviously deserve to go through. They didn't even create much today... to lose a game like this 2-0 is extremely annoying and ameteur-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be considered a forward but he's closer to a #10 than a #9. Similar to Messi in terms of positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Vettel is an avid Eintracht Frankfurt supporter, and even though he could get VIP tickets easily, he chooses to attend the matches at "normal" seats.

ASF Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 20 hours ago, Eco said: Jovic has had two free headers go over the bar, Da Costa was wide open but mishit the ball, and Kostic did a beautiful entry pass to Jovic in the box, but was incorrectly called offside. I agree the Europa League needs VAR, but Eintracht have been far and away better because Benfica is sitting back, which is an awful game plan. Don't think Eintracht was that superior, like you're saying. Benfica should and could have done better at home, but when Eintracht goes through because of a blatant off-side like that, I can't congratulate them and give credit for their qualification.

Benfica should and could have done better at home, but when Eintracht goes through because of a blatant off-side like that, I can't congratulate them and give credit for their qualification. I think in the first half (when I wrote that), it was all Eintracht. Benfica came out and parked the bus, carefully unleashing Felix on a random counter, but really didn't offer much at all in terms of providing a threat. Second half they switched tactics, and were much better, and it was much more even, with both teams having a few great opportunities to score. It was a horrendous call, mind you, but that's a ref/Europa issue for not having VAR. That has nothing to do with Eintracht expect this time it helped us, when next time it's likely to go against us. The fact that Europa doesn't have VAR for help in that kind of situation is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
