Alvaro Arbeloa focused on Hull as Fulham future comes under scrutiny

Alvaro Arbeloa focused on Hull as Fulham future comes under scrutiny

Fulham sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from six games, having failed to win since Arbeloa replaced Marco Silva before the beginning of the season.

"I am focused on tomorrow's game, my players, my team. That is the most important thing. It is not about me. It is about the club, the supporters," he said.

Fulham were close to their first league win against Ipswich Town last weekend before conceding twice late on. They also surrendered a lead against Manchester United, while a goalless draw at Liverpool offered some encouragement.

Arbeloa believes his players have shown they can execute his plans but must maintain their level for an entire match.

"They did for many minutes against Ipswich. We did against Manchester United and we did against Liverpool. For me, we need to try to keep that level for 90 minutes," he said.

The Spaniard described preparations as a normal week of work and praised his players' commitment ahead of the Hull encounter.

Fulham will face another promoted side next weekend if Arbeloa remains in charge, travelling to Championship winners Coventry City.
