2012/15 Takashi Inui @ Eintracht Frankfurt (GER/EL)

It's supposed to mean bringing up Kagawa in this discussion is completely irrelevant.
I'm not making any comparison, I'm stating a simple fact, Inui was a better player in the J.League and during his first year in Frankfurt, whether the level was lower or not. It comes down to my observation of the player, nothing more.

thx I didn't know.

 

assist!

 

Looks like Inui was actually in a pivotal role for a late turn around at the end of the match, only eventually prevented by the referee (not that the win for M'gladbach was undeserved overall). Before the assist he had a good shot of his own (according to ticker, haven't seen that). And after the goal he was fouled at the corner of the penalty box. Eintracht got a FK, but the action replay showed it was actually inside the box.

 

Didn't see that post. I'm not sure about that. Ienaga left Japan really good, he came back as a ghost. Returns are rarely huge successes. There's one fact though, it's that if you watched, if you watched of course, you can't see he's playing as good football as he was back in 2011/12.

 

hmmm go tell that to the fans. He still has a very petulant attitude and he isn't as influential as he was at Cerezo. But he's on the right path.

Omae didn't stay enough to make me consider his european experience as a real experience actually. Inui is about to make it four years, four years have a better chance to affect you and your level than 6 months.

His peak was in Bochum when he had the same kind of freedom he had at Cerezo. His first year with Frankfurt was ok but he started seeing a drop in accuracy. Last year was terrible and even though this season is a bit better, some of his play is really absurd if you really watched it. His movement and his decision making were much better at Cerezo. Would I take him over someone like Muto right now ? absolutely not. Germany changed him as a player and it's not for the best so far.

 

Well I don't because he's even messing up simple things. As stated usually, I take the context in consideration and I don't blame a player for not doing complex things. But missing a pass after he had 4-5 seconds to make it, it's not acceptable.

 

Goal.

 

About fkcing time!

 

Australia. I'm coming.

 

His good cross turned out to be a goal for Eintracht.

 

Looks like Schaaf found the perfect system for Frankfurt (a 4-1-3-2 with both Meier and Seferovic up front) and both Inui and Hasebe are set in it.

Edit: Score turning surreal right now, haha. Inui assist!

 

Second assist!

 

Inui out with 8 min to go.

Edit: That was fun to watch, especially in the 2nd half.

 

this game is madness

4-4

 

Kicker: Inui ranks 9th in the Bundesliga with 35 sprints / 90 minutes of play.

 

Kicker considered Inui worth a mention in its roundup of the top Buli wingers of the 1st half of 2014-15.

 

Assist!
