Under-fire Arsenal midfielder
Emmanuel Eboue has vowed to silence his Emirates Stadium
boo-boys.
The Ivory Coast international came in for criticism as he became
one of the select few players to come off the bench only to be
substituted later on during the Gunners' home victory over Wigan
last weekend following an unimpressive display.
Eboue admits he was surprised by his treatment from Arsenal
fans, but he has been buoyed by the support of manager Arsene
Wenger.
"It was sad," Eboue said in The People. "I did not
expect that reaction from the public because I have always given
all for Arsenal.
"But I am a professional and I have respect for the reactions of
the crowd.
"The manager has encouraged me in the last few days and told me
that you get over these things by working harder and fighting.
"He has promised me that if I give 200 per cent in every game,
the fans will applaud me again."
