Kevin Trap: No fun game for the goalkeeper. The weak Gladbachers could hardly keep him busy. And when Hofmann conceded, he couldn’t do anything. Therefore no top grade in the balance sheet.
tuta: The opponent rarely put him to the test. His passing game needs to improve. Angrily slammed his hands on the ground when his header went wide in front of the Gladbach goal.
Makoto Hasebe: Not the usual sovereign as a defense chief. In the first half with wrong decisions and bad passes. You don’t know him in this form.
Kristian Jakic: The “man for all cases”, as coach Oliver Glasner said. This time was left central defender – already his seventh position at Eintracht. At 0: 1 Thuram ran up and away. Had to be substituted after 17 minutes with an injury.
Aurelio Buta: Effort and yield were not right for him. His flanks rarely reached the target. Laid the ball too far once. Did not reward his diligence.
Sebastian Rode: A role model in terms of dedication and passion. Sometimes that alone is not enough. Had two good shot chances. Missed twice wide. gotta practice.
Jibril Sov: With better shooting technique. Gladbach goalkeeper Jonas Omlin skilfully parried his long-range shot. Busy, but with too many bad passes in the build-up game.
Christopher Lenz: Couldn’t prevent the 0:1. Was later there just in time with an impressive tackle against Neuhaus. Started on the wing, then moved left into central defence.
Rafael Borre: Despite his joy in running, not much help for his team. His beautiful outside instep pass to Lenz was the big exception in terms of play.
Daichi Kamada: Announced his departure this summer three days before the game. The pain of separation is not particularly great at the moment. Because the Japanese is an artist on the wrong track: he is far away from his gala form from the first half of the season due to a lack of strokes of genius.
Randal Kolo Muani: The transfer of the king attracted attention again as the sole entertainer in attack. Made it 1-1 in the 83rd minute, his 13th goal of the season. Could have improved on his excellent record. Hit the post once.
Ansgar Knauff: Came on early for Jakic. However, he had to leave the game late for Alidou. His performance lacked efficiency.
Paxten Aaronson: Got a chance for probation instead of Borré. Used them as a cheeky game starter. The 19-year-old talent played carefree. A “great boy” (Glasner) with opportunities for advancement.
Junior Dina Ebimbe: Was allowed to work for Rode. Showed he could have played well from the start. Brought momentum to the game. Just not with the necessary sense of proportion when exploiting opportunities. After Kolo Muani shot the post, he shot Omlin on the second try.
Lucas Alario: Replaced Kamada. Brought from Leverkusen as a goalscorer. In this role he is overwhelmed in Frankfurt.
Farid Alidou: Filled his joker role well. Assisted Kolo Muani’s goal. Recommended for further use.
