Again nothing!

Eintracht has now made half a dozen unsuccessful attempts to achieve their first victory of this season.

Against Fenerbahce she also missed her target.

Who would have thought?

The kick-off program seemed to have been created to enable the start of a promising collaboration.

So far they have been chasing the high standards.

The Frankfurters came more badly than right from the starting blocks.

Oliver Glasner and Markus Krösche are responsible for this.

In the first few weeks, when a lot of things were unfamiliar to them as debutants in Frankfurt and the amount of new impressions was probably a bit too many, the coach and sports director were dazzled by the quality level of the team.

They have taken 13 additions on board - so far only the late Kristijan Jakic has turned out to be a manager.

The bloated squad is not as good as some test match results suggested.

Host of the disappointed

In the spring it was foreseeable that goal getter André Silva would not be able to be held. For a long time there was no appropriate action, and an adequate filling of the nine-position remained open until shortly before the transfer deadline. Now Sam Lammers has to acclimatize in a hurry. He hinted at the Europa League overture that he had the quality of a degree. In addition, the idea of ​​compensating for Silva's departure with young, technically experienced ball artists such as Jesper Lindström or Jens Petter Hauge does not help for the time being.

The plan reveals pitfalls in everyday life due to the novices' lack of experience; they currently do not have the necessary competitive strength. The duo amazes in training with circus juggling numbers, but the youngsters rarely got past defenders from Augsburg, Stuttgart or Istanbul who are not among the international elite of defensive clearers.

The fact that they made it clear to Filip Kostic that he has another year to fulfill has been one of the bosses' most convincing performances so far. How important the Serb is, he demonstrated in the 1-1 draw against Istanbul. The draw, so it sounded defiantly in the crowd of disappointed Eintrachtler, brought a tailwind. You will be able to use it. The next opponent this Sunday is Wolfsburg (7.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Bundesliga and DAZN) and is not suspected of being as careless as the Turks on Thursday. A false start to the season with consequences that are difficult to foresee is and will remain a real danger for the group around Glasner.
