Not about 'hate' is it, more an observation from the OP - one which I agree with.
IF it is an attitude problem someone needs to sort him out, otherwise his career will go nowhere.

interesting how people are comparing him to Tomori who had a bad first game and was slatted on this very same forum. The same Tomori that everyone now is (rightly) praising. I think people need to lay off him, and leave it to CH to deal with. We may still need this guy so alienating him is not the answer. It is all about attitude ( he must have the skill ) lets hope some of the senior professionals can help him get back on course.
I'm questioning Hughtons judgement then. If his attitude is so poor why is he in the match day squad still?

In defence of [MENTION=33922]Jakeg[/MENTION], its a football forum, it would be abit boring (and not much activity) if every thread was about how great we are and that we can going to the holy grail that is the Premier League. The bloke has every right to praise or criticise any Brighton player and tbh I agree Akpom has been sh!t from what I have seen. He has chance to play a part in being promoted to The Premier League and getting a medal which is more than most Arsenal players get, and he seems to me to not give a sh!t.

He has been given a break FFS, by CH letting him play, to which he has responded by showing no passion, no drive, nothing. He's a pro prem league player with a massive attitude problem. Or do we all have to give him a hug and tell him how grateful we are that he has graced us with his presence before he actually starts playing? He was brought in to do a job and he has not done it. I'm not judging him on his sulky warm up, I'm judging him on his performance, work rate and attitude on the pitch, which is piss poor.

Agreed and let us compare him to Wilson last season miles apart in attitude.
Judging him for lack of effort on the pitch is one thing. Whinging over five minutes of half time keepy uppy smacks of kicking him when he's down, IMO.
I'm sure he is fully aware he was pony versus Blackburn and if Hughton saw it as lack of effort, he'll have been bollocked for that too.

Yeah Wilson was throwing up on the pitch and still wanting to play! ha

I too saw him warming up doing his headers and keepy uppys. It literally was about 15 seconds. He was stretching & concentrating.
Its a warm up. So bloomin what. "stinking attitude" is a laughable way of describing it.
What on earth should he have been doing. What a load of old guff this thread is.

Most of the half time break actually.
Did the stretching initially and then whilst the others were pinging cross-field balls, he was doing his own thing.
Perhaps he has a knock and doesn't want to exert himself, perhaps not, but this is a football forum and therefore the thread is relevant.

Yes good point, and maybe he is excelling in training, which of course none of us know.

He's quite good at the keepy uppys it has to be said.

I think calling a fellow ALBION fan a sad muppet is worse than picking faults with an Arsenal player.

Yes, i noticed that as well, never seen that before, hope he doesn't make the squad on Friday.
That's not the CH way. He spots a problem . He sorts it out internally, then if he can't he does as you suggest but it is not his default position. And anyhow, we don't even know if he has a bad attitude. He wouldn't even make the squad if he did.
I recall Solly when Chris first came in and most people thought he should go out on loan but CH knew the type of lad he was and he knew he needed an arm round him and his confidence built up so he kept him at the club and played him and that turned out to be the right decision. I think you have to judge Chris' judgement and not someone looking in from the outside and making rash guesses

Not so, at this time we need all the lads pulling in the same direction, bad apple and all that!

Like some have said, he doesn't fit our style of play. There are many clubs I'm sure he could play well. Furthermore, he hang been an important player for us which I am sure he had ambitions of being. There are many players who can be great, without the right vibe or feeling in the squad they won't reach their potential.
But what do I know, most of the games I can only get radio commentary, so not been lucky enough to see his halftime routine and wether or not his attitude at the club is right.
We are top of the league! Can't really grumble too much!

And immensely difficult, to be fair. I thought it was quite impressive.
