Slavisa Jokanovic helped Fulham achieve promotion to the Premier League after winning the last season’s Play Off against Aston Villa.
To make their position firm in England’s top flight club competition, the Cottagers invested heavily as they spent over €100m bringing several new faces to the squad in the summer.
Unfortunately, things have not gone as per their plan and they’re currently sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, having conceded 42 goals and having the worst defensive record across the top five leagues in Europe.
Denis Odoi has been part of his side’s 15 league games this season and the defender gave an interview to Belgian newspaper Het Belang van Limburg, where he admitted that he’s hopeful Fulham can fix their summer transfer errors in January.
“Last year in the Championship, we were in the top six for losing the ball, but the number one in ball possession by far,” he said.
“We are not dominant in the Premier League. The club knew that too, invested more than €100m this summer, thinking of the defensive. But, so far it has not worked. Maybe that will be corrected in January.”
Jokanovic was sacked and replaced by Claudio Ranieri and the latter had promised his players that he will take them to McDonald’s, if Fulham keep a clean sheet.
There’s been no Big Macs so far, and Odoi says some of his teammates are motivated by it.
“Claudio Ranieri promised us McDonald’s if we keep a clean sheet – which did not work out yet. There are sure guys in our team motivated, because some like McDonald’s. But I do not eat that,” the defender added.
