Fulham dressing room mutiny forming as first managerial casualty of the Premier League season nears
Several established players have been alienated by Arbeloa’s squad overhaul, and Fulham could become the Premier League’s first managerial casualty after four straight defeats.
- Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa faces mounting pressure following a winless start to the Premier League season, with the team traveling to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday.
- Arbeloa, who replaced Marco Silva this summer, prioritized former Real Madrid recruits like Cesar Palacios over established figures, alienating squad members and fueling internal friction.
- Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi scrubbed their Instagram accounts of football content, while Brazilian winger Kevin posted "no speak, no hear, no see" after the Crystal Palace defeat; Smith Rowe has featured just 25 minutes.
- Should Fulham produce another lifeless display against Liverpool, the board may be forced to act, as the performance on Merseyside could prove terminal for Arbeloa's brief tenure in West London.
- The Cottagers travel to West Ham in the Carabao Cup next week, followed by a home fixture against Manchester United, tests that will determine whether the squad can reverse their winless campaign.
