ALEX IWOBI and Emile Smith Rowe have appeared to wipe Fulham-related content from their Instagram accounts.

This comes just days after team-mate Kevin posted a cryptic message that sent fans into a frenzy.

The social-media activity has sparked wild speculation among supporters that all may not be well inside Alvaro Arbeloa’s Fulham dressing room.

The Spanish boss has endured a nightmare start to life at Craven Cottage, with the Cottagers losing their opening three Premier League matches.

Andhas only intensified the pressure on the new manager.

Fulham had twice taken the lead against Palace but were ultimately undone by defensive errors, with completing the comeback with a late winner.

The result followed defeats to and , leaving Arbeloa’s side pointless after three league games and having conceded seven goals.

Arbeloa has insisted he remains confident in his methods but the early results have inevitably raised questions about the Spaniard’s position and whether his ideas are being accepted by his squad.

Now the social-media storm has added another layer to the growing scrutiny.

Fulham fan account Fulham Hub claimed that both Iwobi and Smith Rowe had removed Fulham-related posts from their accounts.

Iwobi’s current page reportedly contains just a handful of pictures and no Fulham-related posts, while Smith Rowe has also appeared to have cleared his Instagram feed.

However, it is unclear when either player made the changes, meaning there is no proof that either move was a reaction to Arbeloa or the club’s poor start.

Then there was Kevin.

The Brazilian has started all three league games on the bench and was an unused substitute against Palace.

On Saturday evening, he posted a cryptic image carrying the message “No speak, no hear, no see”, prompting supporters to question whether it was a dig at his current situation.

His lack of game time has only fuelled the speculation, although there is no confirmation that his post was aimed at Arbeloa.

And Kenny Tete has also been dragged into the storm.

A post circulating on X has claimed that the Fulham defender made a striking comment to a supporter following the Palace defeat, with fans interpreting it as another possible sign of frustration behind the scenes.

The reaction from supporters has been fierce.

Some fans have already suggested that Arbeloa could have “lost the dressing room” after just three Premier League games, while others have questioned the decision to replace long-serving boss Marco Silva with a manager with no previous experience of managing a Premier League side.

One supporter described the early signs as worrying, pointing to the club moving on from several senior players while placing their faith in an unproven manager.

Another warned that Arbeloa needs to fix Fulham’s defence quickly or risk being shown the door.

Fulhamhub on X also noted the growing concern surrounding the relationship between Arbeloa and parts of his squad, highlighting Kevin’s Instagram post and the reported Tete incident.

But not everyone is pressing the panic button.

Fulham have shown plenty of attacking promise despite their results, and teenager Josh King has emerged as one of the bright spots of the campaign.

The Cottagers also created 25 shots against Palace despite eventually losing the game, suggesting the problems are not simply a lack of attacking threat.

Instead, their biggest concern has been at the other end of the pitch.

Arbeloa himself admitted after the Palace defeat that his side are conceding goals too easily, while insisting the players are working hard and that the current situation can be turned around.

For now, claims that Arbeloa has completely lost his dressing room remain speculation rather than established fact.

But with Liverpool and among Fulham’s next league opponents, the pressure is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
