I'm going to Frankfurt and I'll be Rightback: Timmy Chandler at Eintracht Frankfurt

74' 🔁 The next change sees Chandler come on for da Costa.#SGEuropa #SGEARS | 0-1

— Eintracht Frankfurt (@eintracht_eng) September 19, 2019

 

Made a good defensive clearance in the 79th, but Kohr got a second yellow on the next Arsenal possession, so Frankfurt is behind the 8-ball for the rest of this one.

 

3-0 now. Chandler not at fault for either goal, but he did just lose a header to (generously) 5'6" Lucas Torreira that probably should have been #4.

Starts on the bench

 

Chandler is the typical example of the guy who pushed himself to the bench based on injuries. When he could stay fit long enough, he was better than Da Costa or Durm. But each time he gets injured, he needs time to get match fit again, doesn't look good, and to the bench he goes.

 

Being available is a skill

 

Not sure he was ever better than Da Costa last year during Frankfurt's run. Da Costa was quite good last year and many Bundesliga analysts were calling for Germany to call him up.

 

I don't follow the games much when the Yank is not playing, but I watched Da Costa in a couple of games last season. One of those, against Augsburg, I think, he was a total defensive liability. The opposite winger kept slicing through him like a hot knife through butter.

 

DNP

They beat Leverkusen 3-0. Big win

 

not surprising he's still the bench/rotational player.

Chandler plays for last seven minutes at left-mid/left-back. Frankfurt won 2-1.

Actually found myself missing Chandler internationally. That's how far we've sunk. He's a great player for the 3% of time he's fit and focused.

 

his ceiling is much higher than almost every outside back (maybe all?) in the Us pool.

 

He'd have been useful had he cared.

 

that's not saying all that much.

 

If you only spoke the truth.

Please provide evidence

 

Hyperbolic, sure but he's barely played in the last year and a half. He's had moments where he looked excellent for club and country but that seems years off at this point. He's also had moments where he look insipid and uninspired. Feel free to counter with facts if you wish...
