Eintracht Frankfurt’s 0-3 home defeat against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday night<\/a> didn’t leave Dino Toppm\u00f6ller with much room to maneuver in his post-match comments. Though his team might have scored an equalizer shortly after Bayern opened the scoring in the 1st minute, there are few who will dispute that a handball from Ritsu Doan in the lead up to Jean-Matteo Bahoya’s 14th-minute disallowed goal should have been disregarded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toppm\u00f6ller complained anyway, citing an instances in last week’s crazy ten-goal affair against Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/a> in which his team wasn’t awarded a handball penalty. On the topic of that match, it’s important to note that Gladbach’s four unanswered goals in the second half kicked off a worrying trend. Taking Tuesday’s Champions League shellacking into account<\/a> Frankfurt have been outscored 12-1 in their last 223 minutes of football.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t think these games should be used as a yardstick to evaluate the boys right now,<\/em>” Toppm\u00f6ller insisted when conducting a post-match interview with Sky Germany after the match. “It’s important for us to know that we still have a little room for improvement in order to compete at this level.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

“No one has been able to keep up with Bayern at their level thus far [this year],<\/em>” Toppm\u00f6ller continued, adding special praise for Harry Kane’s distance effort that made it 0-2 in the 27th-minute. “That was a typical Bayern goal and Harry Kane’s finish was simply world class.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We’re just glad that we have a break now and can catch our breath,<\/em>” Toppm\u00f6ller concluded. \u201cThen we’ll attack again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

SGE board-member-for-sport Markus Kr\u00f6sche concurred with his coach’s assessment of Bayern’s performance on the evening. Kr\u00f6sche had little choice but to shrug his shoulders and admit that Bayern don’t look to be beatable at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst Bayern, you always need a good game plan,<\/em>” Kr\u00f6sche remarked in the mixed zone. “Looking at the first half, that was certainly not the case for us today. Especially in their current form, Bayern are in a class of their own. To compete with them, you need to be in top form. We weren’t today.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
