New Fulham midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has insisted that his side have no need to panic about their position in the Premier League table.
The 21-year-old joined the 14th-placed Cottagers on loan until the end of the season last week.
The Londoners have won just two of their last 15 matches in the league, which has left them just six points above the relegation zone, however, Frimpong has urged his teammates to stay calm.
"The lads are very calm," said Frimpong. "I think when you are in a position like Fulham are at the moment you need players to be calm and not to panic.
"Every team goes through a patch in the season when you're not getting results. As long as the manager and the team know there are players that can perform and it is only a little slip, I think we will be fine.
"We have some experienced players in the changing room, obviously the captain Brede Hangeland, Damien Duff and Dimitar Berbatov. You have got some very experienced players and I don't think we should start panicking yet. I think we will be fine."
Frimpong is expected to make his debut when Fulham host West Ham United on Wednesday.
