After Farmageddon against the Tractor Boys, here's the case for Arbeloa's defence.

The majority of Fulham fans on social media agree with that opinion but we recognise that there are plenty of supporters who want Arbeloa to be given more time and patience, despite the disastrous substitutions which led to the late collapse in that 2-1 defeat at Portman Road.

Saturday’s home match with Hull City is likely to prove crucial to Arbeloa’s future – with the Whites currently bottom of the table, having chucked away leads four times already in the Premier League this term.
