Both players have yet to play one minute this season in the bundesliga! Maybe tomorrow in Freiburg Umit will start for Chris who fell out yesterday after an injury. Umit has been in great form recently and has scored many goals and created many great plays in the friendly games. He came from Rapid Wien in Austria last year for 2,3 Million Euros and is now 23 years of age. Why has a talented, young player like Umit been sitting on the bench this whole time?
Last year, Markus Steinhofer played all but two bundesliga games for the eagles and in that time he managed to score 3 goals and also led the team in assists with 10 throughout the year. He came at the beginning of last year for 900,000 Euros. A couple of days ago, German sport magazine Kicker had an article about Markus and how he has not been getting the playing time he deserves and that he is starting to get frustrated on the bench. Why is this talent going to waste? Both players are young, offense-minded players and have a lot of potential.
Korkmaz is left-footed and can play on the left side of the field as a winger. Steinhofer normally plays left side but he played well last year on the right side. Steinhofer also has a great freekick ability which would really help out the standard situation problem that I have seen so far from Eintracht.
Not sure what the meaning of this thread is but to see the opinions of everyone else and see what you think about the situation.
Skibbe is a very strict trainer and when you come to practice you better come with your A- Game... If you think your spot on the team is automatic it is not. Korkmaz and Steinhofer have been coming to practice and not taking it serious. I like Skibbe's attitude when it comes to this as then forces them to play the way they train which for us as a fan allows us to see better games. Which without a doubt we have seen so far this year. The team is playing better than I have seen in a very long time.
I too would like to see talented players play but as Tim alluded to and what he didnt allude to is that it is the manager discretion who plays and who does not. Just ask Caio about that from last year
Another is who would sit, they are playing well and are competitive in everygame so far this year so I dont think there is alot to say on behalf of Umit and Markus. If Umit or Markus would get the start this weekend they would have the opportunity to show their worth and then would solidify his position.
CJ, I will be sending my info again for the fan club tonight!!! ,-) ,-) ,-)
