Felix Magath: 'Fulham players have lacked fight'

Felix Magath accuses his Fulham players of not showing enough fight in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

Fulham manager Felix Magath has accused his players of not showing enough fight in their battle to avoid relegation.

The Cottagers dropped out of the Premier League last weekend following their 4-1 loss against Stoke City, ending a 13-year spell in the top flight.

"We never fought as a team that fights against relegation," Magath, who was appointed as manager of the club in February, is quoted as saying by BT Sport. "If I look at the TV and saw Sunderland or Norwich playing, they had much more fight than us.

"I asked my team what was going on and one player told me 'we cannot fight'. I've never been at a club before where a player has told me they can't fight. I was surprised to hear that and I don't know why he said it."

Fulham rounded off their season with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace earlier today.
