Alvaro Arbeloa is under significant pressure as Fulham's manager after yet another defeat, with reports indicating he has only two games to secure his position. Following the three-week international break, managers faced either an opportunity to regroup or a chance to exacerbate their troubles. Arbeloa, who experienced a rocky start, saw his team lose 2-1 to Ipswich, despite having taken the lead, which raised serious concerns about his leadership.

With the pressure mounting, Fulham has two upcoming fixtures that are seen as winnable. TeamTalk reported that the club's hierarchy expects a minimum of four points from matches against newly promoted Hull City and Coventry. Failure to meet this target could have dire consequences for Arbeloa.

Key points include:

• Fulham's recent performance: A disappointing loss against Ipswich, following a promising start.
• Upcoming challenges: Matches against Hull City and Coventry, both viewed as critical for Arbeloa's future.
• Management expectations: The club is looking for at least four points from these two games.

As Fulham prepares to face Hull this Saturday, the atmosphere at the training ground is likely to be tense, with Arbeloa's job hanging in the balance. A loss could lead to him not even making it to the Coventry match.
