Overview
- Fulham sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from six matches and no league wins, leaving them under intense pressure ahead of Saturday's home game against Hull.
- Multiple outlets report Arbeloa effectively has two fixtures — Hull at Craven Cottage followed by a trip to Coventry — to arrest the slump before his position is reviewed.
- Arbeloa has publicly downplayed sack speculation, saying his focus is on the players, training and getting a result rather than his own future.
- The team has repeatedly conceded late goals, giving up leads in the final 15 minutes in several matches and dropping eight points from winning positions, which has fuelled tactical criticism.
- Voices inside and outside the club are split: some report dressing-room doubts and name possible replacements while former figures warn the club's problems stretch back to last season's departures and wider instability.
