It has been a little over 724 minutes since Eintracht Frankfurt has last scored. In those 8 games, they have been 0-6-2. It has been a rough ride for not only the team but the supporters as well. Last week was also the thirteenth time this season that Frankfurt has been shut-out, and was only the second time they have managed a point in the second half of the season.
The majority of the Frankfurt fans up to this point had been very content with the performance of the team and the management, however that has quickly changed. The dreams in the beginning of the season of seeing the team in some European competitions have dwindled away to hopes that the team can remain in the top flight of German soccer.
Heribert Bruchhagen will evaluate the performance of the team and trainer during next week's match against FC Schalke 04. This may be Michael Skibbe's last week with Eintracht Frankfurt before he is released if the team cannot pull off a favorable result.
"Goalless, Winless, Hopeless," the most recent title of an article by German media source Kicker. This sums up the struggle for the Hessians for the last 8 weeks of competition. Will this continue and will Frankfurt's hopes of remaining in the Bundesliga diminish? Or will Frankfurt find a way to get some points and steer clear of the relegation battle?
