Akpom's stinking attitude

Booing him off probably didn't help.

Akpom's resting for our final push...

Did Akpom go out for a stretch and warm up tonight?
Named on the bench and I'm sure I did not see him warming up during the match at any point.
Annoyed Murray played the full 90 after playing the full 90 on Saturday as well.

think theres a large difference between booing your own at home, and voicing some concern on a forum.
and we all share the concern. i thought he looked OK first saw him, put himself about if bit unpolished, but useful. in the Blackburn game there was not alot of quality on show and after one challenge he seem to give up, could bearly compose himself to stay on side from the resulting free kick. and as someone noted in the other thread, got beat by their lardy centre half. maybe the booing had a counterproductive affect, but not good enough, promote someone from the YS who will at least give effort.

It should maybe be noted that Akpom's name got cheered, same as every other sub, when it got read out before the game. As is how it should be. Not sure why he should be be sulking at half-time. If indeed he was.
and weve got a lazy cnt from arsenal in the squad ...
If you add up the total minutes that Akpom''s played for the first team, I'm guessing it's not much more than 90-120. You can't judge a guy on the equivalent of one (and a bit) games.
And if his attitude was as bad as everyone's seemingly convinced it is, would CH have started him on Saturday? No.

If Akpom was a racehorse he would be put down

Don't blame him at all considering his own team fans booed him. He should not be in the squad though, towell and Murphy if baldock is still injured.

It's not remotely interesting, it's boring.
I thought Akpom was very poor on Saturday, but I went for a beer at half-time and, right now, I've got better things to think about.

Absolutely this. Get a grip, the kid doesn't deserve such spiteful accusations based on a warped interpretation.
he aint grown up yet has he, hopefully he will, but , it all down to attitude , innit !

First of all we cannot judge him on his performances for Hull because we'll get the best out of him which they couldn't. Then we can't judge him on the minutes he's received as a substitute because he needs to 'get up to speed' even though he was brought in as an immediate cover/impact player.
Now it's ok he's sulking because 150 albion fans hurt his feelings after a game he should want to forget.

I saw him at half time & commented about exactly the same thing! The only slight difference for me, is that you could argue that no one interacted with him either. None of the coaches or other players even acknowledged he was there! As you say, when they had the team huddle or whatever it was, they should have made sure he was involved as well, rather than ostracise the bloke. He doesn't help himself at all, in his manner & the way he carries himself so maybe they've tried & its just a waiting game until he goes back.
