Speaking about Fulham’s 2026-27 campaign so far, Whites fan John Charles (JCC) said: “There is only one word to describe Fulham’s start to the Premier League season and that is chaotic.
“Kicking off with a derby against Chelsea under the floodlights was always going to be an exciting fixture for us Fulham fans.
“We didn’t expect to concede in the first minute to Joao Pedro after a defensive lapse in concentration. Unfortunately, that set the tone for the next games.
“Going to the Stadium of Light, Sunderland away, and losing that game in the manner we did, then the Crystal Palace game that followed was one of the most calamitous football matches I have ever watched.
“If you’re a neutral and not a Fulham fan, I would encourage you to watch the highlights and goals from that game if you’re looking for a laugh – but it wasn’t funny for us.
“We are starting to feel the pressure as a fanbase and a club that maybe we got this wrong with Alvaro Arbeloa.
“However, adaptation is the most important thing, along with trusting the process with a new manager. You have got to give him the ability to make mistakes because he is learning on the job.
“He is coming into settled squad that has been in the Premier League for five years now and has been solid under one manager.
“When you’re making that sort of change, there is always going to be teething problems.”
