Fulham boss Felix Magath has revealed one his players admitted they lacked fighting spirit after their relegation.
Magath was speaking after their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
"We never fought as a team that fights against relegation. If I look at the TV and saw Sunderland or Norwich playing, they had much more fight than us," Magath said.
"I asked my team what was going on and one player told me 'we cannot fight'.
"No, 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.
"He said to me, 'we cannot fight', not 'he cannot fight'. It's not a problem if it's only one player."
