Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa says he does not 'feel fear' after defeat at Ipswich left his side winless in six games and bottom of the Premier League. Marco Silva departed in the summer to become head coach of Benfica, and in appointing Arbeloa as his replacement, Fulham were taking a gamble. The former Liverpool and Real Madrid player arrived with limited managerial experience at senior level.
The biggest problem Fulham have had under him is conceding late goals, with his side having let in goals in the final 15 minutes in four of their six Premier League matches. Despite that, Arbeola was defiant after the Ipswich defeat, insisting he is right man for the job at Fulham, and he can handle the pressure of needing to turn things around. "Maybe you don't know me but I played for the best team in world. I have coached the best team in the world," he said. "Maybe you don't know, but just to let you know, that pressure is part of my life since I was a kid.".
