Alvaro Arbeloa transforms Fulham's fortunes amid early-season struggles

Fulham has seen a significant turnaround under manager Alvaro Arbeloa after a dismal start to the Premier League season. The Cottagers collected just two points from their first six matches, prompting speculation about Arbeloa's job security. However, they have since won two consecutive matches against Hull and Coventry, and gained a valuable point at Aston Villa. Arbeloa has adjusted the team’s defensive strategy, resulting in fewer conceded goals. The team's attacking play, while conservative, has generated scoring opportunities, suggesting potential for continued improvement as the season progresses.
