Gera feeling Hodgson loss
Fulham forward Zoltan Gera admits he 'misses' Roy Hodgson,
following his defection to Liverpool.
Hodgson worked wonders during his time at Craven Cottage,
turning the club from relegation fodder into European
challengers.
He helped Fulham to the Europa League final last season and
cemented their standing as a resolute and competitive
Premier League side.
Hodgson's absence around the club will be keenly felt,
especially as his successor is yet to be announced, and Gera
has revealed that the atmosphere around the place is
different since he left.
"Though Roy Hodgson has gone and we still don't have a
manager, we have done well in pre-season," the Hungarian
playmaker told Pepsifoci.
"I'll miss him very much because he was an unbelievable
coach and took us to the Europa League final."
