Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue has vowed to come back stronger after being jeered by his own supporters at the Emirates.
Arsene Wenger took Eboue off in the win against Wigan because of his treatment after coming on as substitute.
Eboue, 25, said: "At the moment I am not at my best performances, but I try to give more and do my best when the boss puts me on the pitch.
"If I continue to work hard in training, then I am confident I can get to my best."
He told Arsenal TV Online ahead of Sunday's home game against Liverpool: "I do not know why the fans did not back me, but that is football and you cannot do anything about it.
"They pay money to watch Arsenal to win. Then when we do not play well, not give our best performances on the pitch, they are very angry.
"I do not blame them, and I hope they will all come out to support us on Sunday, when we will try to do our best and try to win the game for them.
"I try to forget that now. I was disappointed, but I am happy now.
"After the game, my friends gave me a ring and helped me a lot. The next day in training, I saw the boss and he gave me confidence.
"Now I am feeling very well. I am going to try to give my best every time in training and to get confidence, then if I play in the next game, I will give my best."
Arsenal's travelling fans backed Eboue in the subsequent Champions League clash in Porto, which lifted the Ivory Coast international.
He added: "Before the Porto match, I said to myself I was going to do that for the fans because they know me, they know I can give more for the team.
"When we went there, I was very happy because the fans were singing my name - that made me really happy and gave me more power on the pitch."
