The Cottagers have collected 10 points from their opening 10 league matches and currently sit 15th in the Premier League. While that return leaves plenty of room for improvement, there are signs that the mood around the squad is beginning to lift as Arbeloa looks to find greater consistency in performances and results.

"Yes, we could have more points on the board, but Arbeloa has adapted and the vibes in the squad seem up," Louis told us. "The players seem happy and I'm very optimistic that, once the break is over, Fulham are going to have a very exciting season.

"I'm still holding out some hope for a European charge because I think the table is going to be so tightly packed that the difference between 10th and 18th could be as little as six points."

Next steps for the rest of the season

For Fulham, the immediate priority will be turning encouraging performances into a more consistent run of results. However, with the league table still tightly congested, there is little reason for supporters to abandon their ambitions. A strong spell after the international break could quickly change the picture, potentially bringing the European places within reach.
