Eintracht Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter did not hold back after a 6-0 defeat at RB Leipzig. "When you lose 6-0 away in a Bundesliga game, you have to be ashamed," the Austrian said, according to Sport1, calling the performance "not Bundesliga standard".
Hütter also explained why he substituted captain Robin Koch, who was taken off at half-time with Frankfurt 4-0 down: "As a leader, the performance was simply too little for me." Striker Jonathan Burkardt told Sky: "The leaders clearly failed today."
Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu told Sky: "16 goals conceded after five games is a lot. It absolutely cannot go on like this." Only Union Berlin, with 17, have conceded more. Frankfurt are 13th with five points. Sporting director Markus Krösche called the number of goals conceded "far too many".
