Fulham fullback John Pantsil says West Ham had no team spirit when he was at Upton Park.

He said: "At West Ham we didn't stick together like we do here. When I came to Fulham the welcome was amazing, I felt I had been playing for the team for years.

"Here, the manager will shake everybody's hand before training. But if training is not going well, he is not afraid to tell us to put more effort in.

"Some managers just keep quiet and let the players do whatever they want. And on a Saturday, whether they win or lose, they don't care. But here the manager will challenge you to play well. And he has really improved my game, being offensive and defensive, and overlapping."
