Alvaro Arbeloa has denied reports of a rift within Fulham following some cryptic social media activity from players, despite the club’s poor start to the Premier League season. Fulham have lost all three of their opening matches, and Arbeloa, who took charge of the club this summer, said the team's mood remains "positive" ahead of their upcoming match against Liverpool. The Spanish manager is preparing for his first return to Anfield as a coach, having made 98 appearances as a player for Liverpool in the past. Reports of tension arose after Fulham’s 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend. Winger Kevin Iwobi, who was not used in that match, posted an Instagram story with the message "no speak, no hear, no see," which some fans interpreted as a sign of frustration or disconnection. In the days following the loss, both Iwobi and midfielder Emile Smith Rowe have removed football-related photos from their Instagram accounts, leading to speculation about possible internal issues within the squad since Arbeloa’s arrival. Arbeloa, who replaced long-time manager Marco Silva, took charge of Real Madrid last season and brought three young players from the Spanish club’s academy to Fulham: Gonzalo Garcia, Cesar Palacios, and Manuel Angel. The former Spain defender emphasized that the team is working hard to improve and that he sees a positive attitude in the group, even after the difficult start. "You can learn more about a group after a defeat than after a win," he said. "I saw them work during the week with a very positive attitude, all of them." Fulham’s upcoming match against Liverpool will be a crucial test for Arbeloa’s team. Liverpool, under new manager Andoni Iraola, have won their first two games of the season, scoring twice in each match. Fulham, meanwhile, have struggled defensively, conceding three goals in their last home game. Despite the challenges, Arbeloa remains confident in his team’s ability to create chances and remain aggressive on the field. "We can score goals against any team in the Premier League," he said. "That is the thing we are doing so well."
