In the Bundesliga, the focus has so far been on other teams than Eintracht Frankfurt – be it Bayern Munich, who are still unbeaten after ten match days with an average of three goals, or BVB, who are in crisis and only in 7th place.
In between them, in third place, is Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of the 11th Bundesliga matchday. Inconspicuous somehow. But exactly the opposite is the case.
Eintracht have had a top season so far! 26 goals after ten match days is the second-best figure in the club’s history at this point!
In addition, there are some Eintracht Frankfurt records that the team of coach Dino Toppmöller has secretly set:
These are the new Frankfurt records
After ten matchdays, Eintracht has never been as good as this season in the Bundesliga since the introduction of the 3-point rule (1995)!
Eintracht have 20 points and a goal difference of +10 after ten games. This surpasses the best result of the 2012/13 promotion season under coach Armin Veh. Back then, they also had 20 points after ten games, but the goal difference was three goals worse (+7).
Frankfurt scored 14 of their 26 goals this season before the break. A new club record!
Striker Omar Marmoush is mainly responsible for the new Frankfurt goal records. The Egyptian is playing the best season of his career.
11 goals and 7 assists after 10 Bundesliga matchdays is the most ever scored by a Eintracht player. In the entire history of the Bundesliga, only one player has been better than him: Bayern star Harry Kane last season with 15 goals and 5 assists.
With 18 goals to his name, Marmoush is the Bundesliga’s top scorer at this point after ten matchdays!
But it’s not just Marmoush who is responsible for these new Eintracht Frankfurt records, the whole team has been working perfectly so far.
Since the passing statistics have been recorded (since 1999), Eintracht have never had such a good passing rate (83.5 percent) at the same time. 16 goals have been scored after passes so far.
What is possible for Eintracht this season?
Despite the record-breaking season so far, there is no euphoria in Frankfurt’s “Adlerhorst”. On the contrary. There is still room for improvement.
Especially when pressing and in phases of pressure from the opponent, the team needs to free itself even better. Hardly a game goes by without sporting director Markus Krösche calling for more calm in the build-up play. “That’s where we have our problems.”
If that also improves, Eintracht Frankfurt’s record-breaking season could perhaps even be crowned with a title or two. As of the end of November, the Eagles are still flying in all three competitions.
Krösche is exercising restraint – knowing how long the season will be and that only a third of the season has been completed after ten match days.
“The championship title is a long way off, that’s not our goal. We’ve won the DFB Cup a few times and we’ve also won the Europa League. If we had a title at the end of the season, that would be nice. But that’s still a long way off. “
