Fulham are in a heap of trouble. They currently sit 17th in the table, just a single point above West Ham, Sunderland and Cardiff City. The worrying thing is that the other sides are improving, whereas the Cottagers aren't. Cardiff are revitalised under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and Sunderland, with the help of Adam Johnson, are beginning to capture some form. West Ham are the masters of the great escape and you wouldn't bet against them doing it again. Fulham have only scored seven goals in 2014, three of which came against Norwich. The Cottagers don't score more than a single goal in a game either, just five times out of the last 12. The concerning results include a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Hull City, as well as a 4-1 drubbing against Sunderland. On the horizon Fulham have crucial games against Swansea and Southampton, as well as the difficult task of Manchester United and Liverpool. Although they leak goals, the concern lies up front. Against Sheffield United they wasted some golden chances, including a sitter from Darren Bent and an air-kick from Hugo Rodallega. It's looking likely that they'll keep hold of Dimitar Berbatov but he can't save Fulham singlehandedly. He needs help- here's five players that can give him exactly that.
