After his side's 2-0 loss, van Nistelrooy admitted: 'We weren't good enough in all aspects of the game. I have to accept it. When I make a substitution and it is not received well, I will take that. 'But because the crowd boo one substitution doesn't mean I have to explains the reasons for it. It is not for the public to know. It is disrespectful for the players who come on.

Foxes fans Fans were left unhappy when fans' favourite Bilal El Khannouss was taken off. Leicester are now on a seven-match losing streak after their 2-0 home loss to Fulham. Defender James Justin insisted Leicester fans are 'entitled' to boo after the side's losing streak extended to seven.
He told the BBC:'They pay their money to watch their club and we're not doing the club any good at the moment. 'They can boo if they want to be honest. They are entitled to do that. It doesn't help anything I don't think, but we're the ones getting them there at the minute so we need to do something to change that.'.
