Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy insists he has to “accept” the negative fan chants aimed his way following their 2-0 defeat to Fulham. Chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing” echoed around the King Power Stadium following the withdrawal of Bilal El Khannouss as the home support turned hostile again.
The visitors failed to make their mark in the first-half but they turned on the style after the break as Emile Smith Rowe finished a nice move from close range. Anger started to grow among Leicester fans and Adama Traore fired in his second goal of the season to condemn the home side to a seventh successive Premier League defeat.
Van Nistelrooy insists he does not have to explain his reasons for his substitutions. He said: “You have to accept it and I am. I’m making substitutions to impact the game. “It can be in different areas, physical, profile of a player, the opposition. When it’s not received well for once now then I’ll take that one.
“Because the crowd boo one substitution of me it doesn’t mean I have to explain all the reasons behind the substitution. It’s not for the public to know. “It’s respect to the players who come on. They are valuable members of the squad and deserve minutes to help this team as well. It’s not about one person in this team and in this squad. That for me is very clear.”.
