Meulensteen must lift players after worst Fulham defeat in Premier League history

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen admits rebuilding his players' shattered confidence is now the priority after their thrashing at Hull City.

This was Fulham's heaviest loss of the Premier League era and Meulensteen wasted no time in speaking to his players and drawing a line under proceedings at the KC Stadium.

"That is one of the things I addressed straight away in the dressing room: don't let this affect you in up and coming games," he said.

"We've got two crucial matches coming up and what we need to do is take it on the chin, learn from it and bounce back."
