Boa: I'll keep working hard

Luis Boa Morte has admitted that he was hurt by the boos which followed his substitution against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Some sections of the Boleyn crowd booed the former Fulham winger as he was substituted midway through the second half during Wednesday night's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

The Portuguese international had missed two gilt-edged opportunities to score prior to that. However despite admitting that he was hurt by the negative reaction, Boa insisted that he will be doing his best to turn around his recent poor form.

"Of course the boos are upsetting," he told Sky Sports News.

"If they are not happy because I've not scored enough goals, fair enough. But I don't want them to boo me for the hard work - because I've always worked hard.

"I'm not going to throw in the towel. I'm going to keep working hard - and go and see a witch to see if she can help with the scoring."

Alan CUrbishley was similarly disappointed by the crowd's reaction, adding:

"Fans should get behind their team's players. Everyone is trying."

The Boleyn crowd, never slow to pick a scapegoat in recent years had previously booed striker Carlton Cole until the striker found form earlier his season.
