Have to say, we are very weak in the midfield. 4-3-3, Sanou just isn't up to it.

Petit does the business, but we need at least one more midfielder.

Not as terrible as the gladbach match, unless you want to compare frankfurt to gladbach :p ;)

Actually due to lousy last 20 mins. We are getting there...

Both teams played rather bad footy yesterday, but I was quite pleased with our first 45 minutes. We controlled the game and had at least a couple of chances. Had Antar buried the ball in the net, I doubt that Frankfurt would have been good enough to come back.
For some strange reason, we did absolutely nothing after the break. Only after the equalizer did we start building up some pressure again. That was very annoying to watch because Frankfurt was a rather poor opponent and there was no need to hand them a draw.

I don't want to be too harsh on Radu, he's a good player and needs time to get accustomed to everything, but yesterday he was almost invisible (besides getting fouled in the box - don't know if the penalty was justified, although it looked like it). I never realized how much problems Mondragon has passing the ball, it seems he only has his feet in order not to fall over. I also have to agree that our midfield lacks creativity, it's not wise to rely on Petit running everything (although our Portuguese star played well IMO). Would definitely have preferred Broich instead of Matip. Vucicevic also didn't look like he will help us a lot this season, but maybe I'm still too disgruntled to make objective judgements.
