Eintracht Frankfurt (H) - Thursday 28th April, 8pm

OldCastleSwift

Rice ain't shooting from there is he?

OldCastleSwift

Benrahma's shot from distance brushes the post. We've had chances, but just haven't taken enough of them.

I thought Benrahma’s was in

we need to win away, done it at Lyon can do it again

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Fornals for an "attacking midfielder" gets a free pass a lot

Doesn't contribute enough going forward

Yeoldhammer

I think if Eintracht get a 3rd cant see us coming back at their place

Frankfurt are better than Lyon, I'd say, so it's a much harder task, IMO.

I think if it stays like this it’s going to be extremely difficult out there let alone if there’s a 2 goal gap.

yes but have faith

OldCastleSwift

Problem now is who can we sub on to make a difference? Fornals could do with hooking but who come on?

He's not playing as an attacking midfielder though...

whupathman

Yarmo due a magic moment maybe

I think he has been second half. Looks more like a back four.

He is an attacking midfielder

Not just talking bout this game

And he was just then when he lost the ball carelessly....if that was Benrahma

We’ve been in great positions a few times and not got the final pass right. Frustrating.

OldCastleSwift

Why do we always seem to make the wrong decision in the final third. Benrahma guilty this time.

buffybegood

Great ball to release Benrahma, but no sort of an effort, unfortunately. A few moments earlier he did a nice backheel to send Cresswell away though.

OldCastleSwift

Fornals gives it away, they break and hit the post. Riding our luck here.

I don't think it was a wrong decision just woeful execution.

Fornals has been really poor

buffybegood

Their turn to hit the post now, I thought it was 3 tbh.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Fornals losing it cheaply now and they hit the post

Hes not doing well

whupathman

we need to bring Brooking on

Twice 🤣

PrestonHammer

They seem to win all the second balls.

MIAHammer

EF players have a go at Benrahma for playing on when one of their players went down. A minute later one their players go down and they a carry on as they have the advantage. Funny how that works.

OldCastleSwift

Another poor set piece. Haven't been at the races really at all.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

This has been a really tough match.

buffybegood

Poor delivery by Bowen there, straight into the keeper's hands from a freekick out wide.
