It says here.
Shame. Gera has that lovely ability to find space in the penalty area. His winner
against Hamburg in the semi-final was a great example: what looked like a simple tap-in came
about because Gera legged it across the six yard box as the corner came over. As the ball dropped
there he was to score, but these tap-ins don't fall to everyone, and Gera deserved all the credit
for being in the right place.
One facet of this season I've found to be a bit peculiar is the seeming lack of narrative.
Usually by this point in the season the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
For me, last year was all about Europe. The year before, we watched and wondered about what Roy
could do with his first full season at the helm.
There's a lack to talk about Fulham these days. The euphoria of last season, with the Hodgson
army battling their way to the Europa League final, has somewhat died.
Like an inflating balloon, the media rushed in during their European cup run: all full of praise
for Roy's lads who rose above the odds to scalp Shakhtar, Juventus and Wolfsburg.
