The more we play that way, the more we will get the hang of it," he said. "It's difficult to get out when there's no one to pull you out the other side. "When it's one or two players being out of form, the others can carry them.

Anthony Dabbundo gives his detailed thoughts, plus his top pick, for Friday's Bundesliga opening match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich.

My projections have Bayern as a 1.5-goal favorite, given I’m lower on Frankfurt than the market. Mané averaged 0.67 per 90 minutes in the Premier League. Apply an inflator of about 17% — based on historical averages — for him moving to the EPL and you get to about 0.8 per 90 minutes. The market has lowered Bayern a bit, based on league title odds. On the other, he did little else to provide value, through passing and pressing, at this stage of his career. Now, the Bavarians are without Robert Lewandowski and look to replace most of his production with former Liverpool forward Sadio Mané. Frankfurt will again be competing on two fronts in Bundesliga and Champions League, but an 11th-placed showing in the German top flight was even higher than underlying numbers suggested.

Somehow, he avoids a yellow card from the referee, who has yet to go to his pocket this evening. However, he takes a stumble and somehow his shot comes back off the post. Gotze's corner delivery is met by Tuta, who rises highest and guides his header against the woodwork! Mane runs through Frankfurt's defence untroubled as he races down the left, looks up and unselfishly rolls it to Muller for what looks like a simple tap-in. Musiala's shot from distance takes a deflection and that takes it onto the crossbar! Musiala shoots from range but this time Trapp makes the stop.
