Fulham boss Álvaro Arbeloa has challenged everyone in his squad to keep showing him a positive attitude and help get the team back on track amid some of his players taking to social media to show their frustration.
The Cottagers head to Liverpool on Saturday still looking for a first point of the new Premier League season.
The home defeat by Crystal Palace last weekend has put the spotlight firmly back on former Real Madrid interim boss Arbeloa, who took over in the summer following the departure of Marco Silva.
Brazilian winger Kevin, an unused substitute against the Eagles, added a cryptic message on his Instagram story with the caption 'no speak, no hear, no see.'
Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe have, meanwhile, both cleared their own Instagram posts of football-related content, with some fans interpreting it as growing signs of disharmony within the Fulham camp.
Arbeloa, though, stressed all of the players were working hard to turn things around.
"You can learn more about a group after a defeat than after a win, and I saw them work during the week with a very positive attitude, all of them," the Fulham boss told a news conference.

"For sure when you are a player and you are not playing, you can't be happy. It is what I expect from the players that are not playing.
"I want that they should need to show me that they are not happy during the training session. For me, this is the most important thing.
"Obviously, when you are not winning games and you are not helping your team, I think you have more desire to play games and to help their teammates.
"But all of them, they have been working so hard and I have a very, very good group with a very good attitude."
Arbeloa knows all too well the challenge that awaits at Anfield having played 98 times for the Reds and helping them reach the 2007 Champions League final before leaving for Real Madrid.
"We have a massive game this week. We know we need to improve and we have to adjust some parts of our game, but we are focused on the game tomorrow," Arbeloa, who reported no fresh injury problems, said.
"We can score goals against any team in the Premier League, that is the thing we are doing so well, creating so many chances and are aggressive without the ball. When you play against a team like Liverpool, with very good players, you need to control them when you have the ball."
Arbeloa added: "You can see that they [Liverpool] are improving, now controlling the games better. I watched their Champions League game against Atlético Madrid, they did a very good game -- they are so aggressive and press high.
"They are so quick up front and have a top squad. Maybe they can make some changes, but they will still start with top players."
