Fulham FC faces internal unrest following poor season start
Fulham Football Club is facing internal tension following a difficult start to the Premier League season, marked by three consecutive defeats. The club’s performance under manager Alvaro Arbeloa has led to growing frustration among supporters and rumors of a rift between the coaching staff and the squad.
Social media activity has fueled speculation regarding player dissatisfaction. Players Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe have reportedly deleted Fulham-related content from their Instagram profiles. Additionally, player Kevin expressed frustration via an Instagram story stating, “no speak, no hear, no see,” while reports suggest tension involving Kenny Tete regarding his involvement in matches.
Arbeloa’s management style has also come under scrutiny. Following a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, the manager questioned the players' effort, technical quality, and mentality. Some observers have raised concerns regarding potential favoritism after Arbeloa specifically praised certain players while omitting others from his post-match comments. The club faces upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester United, which will be critical for Arbeloa’s position.
