Jase 43,479 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Frankfurt lost 6-1 at Leverkusen. Played a strong team too - https://www.livescore.com/soccer/germany/bundesliga/bayer-leverkusen-vs-eintracht-frankfurt/6-14894617/ With their own Top 4 hopes in danger after that loss, this game becomes even bigger for them.

Popular Post! Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 5, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted May 5, 2019 Frankfurt could have secured 4th place with a win today yet they crumbled completey...maybe not that mentally strong after all. They are a different animal away from home and we have to use this. From minute 1 we have to push them back on Thursday and score early so they lose their belief.

nyikolajevics 2,706 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 We better not screw this up. We had quite a plain and succesful game and our rivals helped us so we can pretty much ignore the Leicester game, we can fully focus on Frankfurt. They played their match 3 hours after our kickoff, had to travel to Leverkusen, they were trashed, now they have to travel back(ca 500 km the two way) home. Next week they will have to travel to London, beat us while paying attention to their very important Bundesliga game on Sunday. It's a must win. Also, if we beat Arsenal in the final they will stuck in the Europa League next year, this will be the extra prize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win the Europa League, we will be in Pot 1. DDA, Strike, Johnnyeye and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC ma Barkley kovacic ? Pedro higuain willian Since the Leicester game doesn't matter it's gonna be the best team avalable. If Kanté is fit he will start(seems unlikely though), if not Kovacic and RLC(both are in great form) will play alongside Jorginho, can't see Barks starting.

Tomo 21,751 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm a bit paranoid about Ruben, he's played two (near) full games this part week the first of which his back started playing up, I fear he may go the same way as Kante today if he has another full game so soon. Which makes me think given our advantage and the fact Frankfurt look tanked we should start with Barkley and Kova do the boring side of Sarriball and have them chasing the ball, then unleash Rubes after an hour to finish them off.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Let's score first rather then then.. And if take a lead don't do what we did last time and have a break down after half time. Johnnyeye and Vybz Kartel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not have insane amount of minutes in his bones this season unlike Kante, Luiz or Azpi so I think he should be fine, he has played like 155mins within 4 days, he should stil have enoug hin the tank to play 2 more games this season.

Agreed - out of all the players, least concerned about him. Love his driving forward with the ball - just wish he had a bit more confidence to lash home some 25 yarders.

I thought sarri said he was cramping, which I understood just as calf cramping.

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Frankfurt didn't look impressive in the fist game. Everton, Wolves, Leicester and Watford are by far better teams. Even Jorginho looked a beast against Frankfurt. My prediction: 4x0. DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,511 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 with this current lot nothing is a given and its never the easy way, we will need to start this one on the front foot, can't afford another game like the 2nd leg against Sparta Prague.
