Ranieri knows he has a monumental task on his hands at Fulham

“Keeping a clean sheet is our first problem, but only with the work we do together every day we can find a solution.“Now we meet a team who scored three goals every match in the last three matches. But they also conceded goals.”Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham)“We are improving, without any doubt. The results say that we are improving and we are scoring goals, which is not easy, especially, in this league and this season, to win three games in a row and score three goals in each game. “But we must be very careful about that because things change in football and two or three balls can quickly change the result, so we must continue working in the same way we are doing now.“In our worst moment, I always say the same. We are improving and we are in the correct way and now we must keep these good results going.”
