If players were positioned on the edge of the box Gera wouldn't have got that shot off though and it was the same for the 3rd

The only way to position yourself to stop that goal, is if they went into a pyramid formation.

How hard would it be to have one player standing on the edge of the box?

It was a great goal. Hansens outlook is any goal scored is a fault of the defence. Its the way he thinks. I say it was a great goal by Gera. THe other two though were our fault.

Goals like that are very unexpected, it was a clean hit and who knows what could have happened.

Im not saying it wasn't a great goal but if he can't get a shot in he can't score and that's where a man on the edge of the box would have stopped two of the goals.

is'nt every goal scored traced back to a mistake somewhere where something could of been done better.

Goals always come from mistakes but from a set piece players should be positioned where the ball is likely to break ie the edge of the box

Oh my god your still on about the goal should you not be thinking of ways we could have avoided the 2 penalties instead of slating what was a wonderful goal? We lost and as somebody said before me if it was 1 - 0 nobody would be going this mad its just 3 - 0 made it look so flattering for them move on we've bigger games to come this week if we repeat the same mistakes from now until Christmas then you have reason to be complaining but were 90 minutes in and i dont know how many times iv had to say this to fans.

The two penalties happen in open play you can't legislate too easily for them especially when one comes from a slip and the other from good play by long. It baffles me that people think its ok to concede goals that can be stopped. I'm not complaining about the result so get off your little high horse but two of their three goals came from cleared corners dropping to a man free on the edge of the square
