What a crappy Liga.

Not like your team is playing any different tbh.

Schalke has just mastered not doing anything even more.

To be fair, Frankfurt should've won 6-0 at least today.

Good matchday for us so far. Then again I am very confident we will get nothing done against Det as well.

Dortmund doing their best HSV impression today.

If anyone needed any confirmation how far Tuchel overachieved with Dortmunds squad...it is this whole ugly season Dortmund has

Der Klassiker.... what an utter no show by Dortmund, just a bunch of spineless twats. Bayern are not 6 goals better. Dortmund have to bin Stoger, nice guy but they can be so much better with an elite coach. Like you know *cough Tuchel *cough

Well at least no loss. Keeps us in relegation slot with comfortable 6 points advantage. Home game against Freiburg will be crucial

Titz is doing a very good job. Where was Holtby all year long? That's a guy you want out there.

Also, LOL at Schalke.

"There is no reason to doubt that i will be coaching Eintracht Frankfurt next year."

That´s what Kovac said 8 days ago. Now BILD & Kicker are reporting that he already made a deal with Bayern 2 weeks ago as the new Bayern Coach.

Fun business. And we´re probably falling apart now.

What was he supposed to say?
Probably tried to downplay rumors for a couple weeks to be able to work focused with the team for rest of the season but it didnt work out.

Logical for Kovac to make the next step. Although his coaching mentality fits more to a workers club like Schalke. Not sure whether Bayern fans and even players will like his approach at the game.

Not a fan of the signing, not much of a reputation as a tactician but with his ties to the club and given his ability to get on with players I'm sure he will get every chance to succeed at the club.

Having Hermann Gerland at his side is going to alleviate some of the pressure. Gerland has seen everything at the club having coached there in various capacities for close to 25 years and since Bayern is going to continue to want to build on the foundation laid by Van Gaal and Guardiola he'll continue to be a valuable asset.

One of the advantages for Kovac is going to be that this team doesn't need much in the way of direction. Much of the spirit of this team is somewhat self-sustaining as long as one manages to reign in the egos on the squad to a degree.

Bayern is at a point where they're going to have to transition and rebuild the core of the team to a degree so as long as Bayern is competitive in league play, doesn't embarrass themselves in the champions league play and finishes the league in the top 3-4 Kovac will be fine.

Will be interesting to see what's going to happen with transfers.

Would love to see Bayern make a move for Martial in the offseason and if there's any meat to the Malcom rumors Bayern would be set at the wings for the foreseeable future.

He should have said nothing. Just look whats going on now in Frankfurt because of that.
Everybody knew that he s on his way if Bayern calls, and almost everybody is fine with that. That was a completely unnecessary move. And he probably didn´t tell Bobic about the already signed contract in Munich.

In less than a day he lost all credit in Frankfurt. And my guess is that he will not see the end of the season if we lose against Leverkusen and Schalke. The diva is back.

Dortmund has put M. Rose, the current coach of Salzburg, on their shortlist for next season. Is he really an upgrade to Stöger? Surely, Bundesliga has still a better level than the league in Austria. When I read the name Rose in this relation, i always have to mention Bosz, who had mainly experience from the dutch league. And you know the end result...

Where is the Tuchel picture when you need it?

LOL at the VAR...again.

At this point it's almost hilariously bad.

Andi Obst · Post #259 » by **Andi Obst** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 8:41 pm

Game over. If Schalke doesn't get a penalty called within the next 30 minutes, that is.

JohnPferdelack · Post #260 » by **JohnPferdelack** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 11:12 pm

Surprising win by Frankfurt!
Kovac now has the opportunity to get a title before leaving the Eintracht. It will be hard, but he has the expierience of last year's final against Dortmund. From the tatical standpoint, it will be the same as last year. With their physical strength Eintracht will try to encounter Bayern's style of play.
