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

That’s partly been down to us, we’ve been wasteful on several occasions and slower than them in every aspect.

OldCastleSwift

Corner. Please make this one count.

Really struggled this half

They just seem quicker across the pitch

We didn't.

yoyo

Set pieces have been poor and many are too close to the keeper

thornburyiron

I thought we’ve been watching videos of how they play and what their strengths and weaknesses are but we’ve played into their hands all the way through.

Dodger58

Funny that Frankfurt didn’t stop when Zouma was down

thornburyiron

We’ve had 2 shots on target.

OldCastleSwift

Too many under-par performances tonight I'm afraid. Fornals, Soucek, Lanzini and Johnson have been poor, IMO.

Frankfurt are a good team, but I don't think we've done ourselves any favours tonight.

OldCastleSwift

Bowen. Good grief. That deserved a goal.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

That’s so unlucky from Bowen.

whupathman

ouch

PrestonHammer

I see Johnson as a centre back.

buffybegood

So unlucky by Bowen.

Yeoldhammer

woodwork 3 times

everhopeful

Non-goal of the season!

Lukerz

We’ve been unlucky. Game still very much alive.

PrestonHammer

Looks like we're going to have to do it the hard way.

buffybegood

Then Soucek heads the resulting corner over with pretty much a free header.

whupathman

at least we know what we need to do, tough but not impossible

I think I've fractured a tonsil.

So wasteful

Hamstew

Jesus how many times are we gonna lump the ball at the keeper.

Lukerz

Fancy us next week

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

We’ve not been at our best but hit the woodwork three times. We can beat them next week.

Lukerz

We’ll be better next week & that will give us a good chance.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

We are going to win the 2nd leg

But our finishing has let us down and mad either hard for us

buffybegood

Disappointing to lose, makes the second leg so much more difficult as they like to play on the break.

Lukerz

Maybe not worth resting all those players on
Sunday, though

OldCastleSwift

Hard to know really how much of that was Frankfurt being good or us being bad. They're much more threatening than Sevilla and Lyon, but not unbeatable.

Problem is, I can see the second leg going the same way. Lyon were so passive in that second game, but I think Frankfurt will be much more at us. If they score I think it's game over.
