They are really proactive, good side with good players, and good experience through their coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t really understand why they struggle away from home, but it\u2019s at Craven Cottage so that is not the main topic for this weekend. Another tough challenge, we know in this Premier League that we can\u2019t play an easy game.

I want always the best for the football club. I know how difficult it was for us to achieve what we achieved in the last few seasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanding still is not part of my talks, never, and I always want more. Sometimes that is possible and sometimes not possible, but I can guarantee to you that we have been always on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, someone that is in charge of the club has to take financial decisions that are not for me, and myself as a manager. From my side, I think I\u2019ve given enough signs that I\u2019m not looking always to leave the football club, because as you know, I had some chances in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image courtesy of IMAGO \/ Action Plus<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the confirmed lineups for both Fulham and Sunderland ahead of their Premier League clash at 3 pm GMT today.
