I also expect our squad to study different systems and vary according to the needs of each and any opponent so I see the upcoming year with better hopes than the last one (which already in advance I was rather sceptical as I didn't confide much in Veh).
About the transfers? Well, I don't know them much but I suppose Varela (pure prejudice, I know) as a uruguayan player should be rather physically strong and technically fair so he'll hopefully manage to both, close his side in the defensive work and being able to arm attacks. Mascarell the same (despite the fact, that I have absolutely no prejudices about the physical constitution of tinerfenos). Moreover I still see Gacinovic and Fabián as "new players" - both should bring us more tranquility in ball-possession as they are capable of winning a one on one-situation and can well "open the field" through smart passes and thence taking advantage of our new-won speed through Rebic, Tawatha or Blum.
Though I'm a bit sceptical about our heading-skills as we lost Zambrano and (at least temporarilly) Russ

When you hear that they have a budget deficit this summer rather than a transfer budget it shows that the club are performing poorly considering the great crowds they continue to get. A sky high stadium rent to Stadt Frankfurt doesnt help but I've never had a high opinion of the board or their success in the transfer market.
It wasn't so long ago that Frankfurt and Gladbach were performing at similar levels. Now the difference between the two clubs is like night and day. When Ingolstadt and Augsburg are performing better it should set alarm bells ringing.
Massive room for improvement but I have more confidence in Kovac than I had for Schaaf or Veh.
Lots of fresh talent in the team, let's hope it'll all work out for the best.

"Eintracht beat Celta de Vigo 3-1 (2-0) and win the Frankfurt Main Finance Cup. New signing Branimir Hrgota was responsible for SGE’s two-goal lead (11’, 49’). Eintracht controlled the match right from the start. Especially the new signing from Borussia Mönchengladbach, Branimir Hrgota, got a hold of the ball twice and was responsible for SGE’s first two attempts."
In my book Hrgota was a big positive in that match. I also liked the way Oczipka played. Can we hope for a good season in the Bundesliga?
What else happened in that game? What I've heard there was some sort of a ruckus among the supporters.

In addition to goals, SGE was better in interceptions (25/11), own half pass accuracy (95% / 89%), corners (7/5), long passes (19% / 18%) and shot accuracy (36.4% / 27.3%).
I'd list Hradecky, Meier, Hrgota, Chandler and Gacinovic as the top five players.

To me it was actually Darmstadt who settled. Starting with the kick off . I mean they took off Ben-Hatira after 80 minutes who was their only player trying to play some actual football. And brought on a defender instead, so you know exactly what they were aiming for. There's no logic behind them winning this match 1:0, not even the goal scoring shot was supposed to be a shot on goal (their only one btw). He (Sirigu) tried to cross the ball into the box and scored a goal just because he wasn't even able to deliver proper crossing. This is ridiculous, isn't it? Christ...
It looked to me like they had settled for a draw in the second half and got punished......by a bad cross.

Gacinovic was a slight disappointment. Rebic looked like a promising replacement.
