This low blow is a setback.

After the coup in Munich, the bankruptcy against Berlin.

The refinement process that Eintracht had undertaken after the 2: 1 at Bayern against Hertha has crashed.

It was a poor performance and it was a deserved defeat that coach Oliver Glasner's team suffered against Hertha, which is anything but a top team.

There were deficits in all parts of the team.

The biggest thing, however, is the offensive: Eintracht lacks penetrative power.

The physically tall Sam Lammers looked quite small as the only striker against Hertha.

The Dutchman, who had moved to Germany from Italy, wanted to achieve next to nothing.

He was not in danger of scoring on this match day.

By the way, not from Filip Kostic either.

And since Jesper Lindström and Jens-Petter Hauge also did not show the performance they are normally capable of, the storm of unity was just a mild breeze.

The inclusion of creative player Daichi Kamada in the second part of the game did not bring any decisive impetus.

Not a decisive leg break

Even before the game against Hertha, Eintracht surprised - in the person of coach Glasner. He decided, for whatever reason, to tear the victorious Bayern formation apart and to rely on new forces. A model that failed. Even after eight rounds of play, Eintracht has not yet found each other in its self-declared season of upheaval. Sometimes one plays, sometimes the other plays. But it is seldom the same who are allowed to work together in the same positions twice in a row.

The defeat against Hertha, as painful as it may be, is not yet a decisive break in the leg. Glasner's team still has every opportunity to take the course that promises calm and stability. Eight points from eight games are a poor result that does not live up to the Europa League participant's self-imposed expectations.

Without the surprising victory at Bayern, Eintracht would be even deeper in the last third of the table.

The game plan for the coming weeks offers the chance to make corrections.

Before and after the home game against the Leipzig team, who have also not yet got going, Glasner's team has to deal with the two promoted teams Bochum and Fürth away from home.

Two encounters with a groundbreaking character.

In the current tense situation in which the Frankfurters are, victories are mandatory for VfL, which is in fifteenth place, and for the game association in 18th place.
