Frankfurt style of play
|
|
I probably speak for many of us when I say that I know absolutely nothing about this team.
Does anyone know what we should expect from them ?
Are they big and direct or like to play ? Do they press or sit? Or, something in the middle. Are they very reliant on a couple players ? Where are they strong or weak?
Great to be looking forward to the biggest couple of games for many many years.

irish posted a detailed thread a few days ago, it'll be on page one of two
all I've heard is one of danny kelly's best analysts, kevin hatchard, on talksport saying that they can be very physical but that he didn't think those tactics would pose a problem against us

Frankfurt always seem to roll over easily.

Last season Frankfurt scored 69goals in 34 Bundesliga games.
Avg of 2 goals per game.
Andre Silva scored 28 of them.
Silva departed in the summer.
This season Frankfurt have scored 42goals in 31 Bundesliga games - avg 1.35 per game.
They have lost the Silva goals & they haven't been replaced.
If we score 3goals over the 2 legs we'll go through to the final.

yet they scored 4 goals against an inform (but arrogant ) Barcelona , 3 goals away from home.7 goals in total in their knockout rounds. That's 3.5 per round.
We'll have to score 4 goals to go through.

after watching some footage of them, they play a true three at the back but luckily the left hand side CB is very statuesque and I can see Bowen absolutely roasting him as he fits in on to his left foot. they've also scored some very lucky goals

Reading their forum page it seems that they consider themselves to be very similar to us on most levels (style of play... counter attacking) fanatical fans and inner city working class club. They're not too arrogant looking at their posts (no more than we are) and will do anything to get their hands on a ticket for the away leg at Stratford.
I lived in Germany for years and they were always a bit like .... Palace for me; always there, a bit annoying but never took any more notice.
Having watched some of the Budesliga recently on TV they do seem to prefer a counter attacking style and when in the mood they can score goals.

They seem a bit Lyonesque......mid table mediocrity but, saving their best form for the Europa League.

Fuck knows what their style is, but I don't think they've won in the league since the beginning of March?

I went to their game in Sevilel vs Betis (the night before our one) and watched it amongst the Frankfurt fans who were mental. Orchestrated chanting + singing, but something else.
EF won 2-1, but the game could have been 5-7 as both sides where wide open with full back's pushing on and I'd certainly fancy us to pick them off in a similar way to Lyon.
The stand-out player by a mile was the Serbian no 10 Filip Lostic who played wide left so whoever is working the right flank needs to be switched on.
Will no doubt be back to back 0-0's now.

I think you mean Kostic, do I have to correct everyone on here ?
Borre scored a stunner against Barce.

Yes....and the game also took place in 'Seville' in-case you missed that was unclear as well.
Beyond Kostic I couldn't name you another player.

Pundits keep saying "...but they beaten Barcelona ... but they beaten Barcelona...but they beaten Barcelona".
The fact is this "Barcelona" side are not the same side of old. Barcelona were terrible in the group stage of the CL. The worst performance of a 3rd place team in the group stage in the Champions League for 12 YEARS - scoring only TWO GOALS - terrible!
Last night the lost to Rayo Vallecano - the first time Rayo did a League double on them. On top of that they also lost at home to Cadiz - who are in the bottom 4!.
All in all we shouldn't be scared at all with Frankfurt since they beaten a very poor Barcelona side.
