He may be terrible but lack of effort is what most annoys.

CH should never have played the lad he is so far out of his depth.

This looks like bad news for the lad - he's been loaned out all over the place, but 3 goals in 59 appearances suggest that he really isn't much of a striker (he's scored a lot in youth internationals, but we all know that success at youth level doesn't always transfer to the 'real' professional game). He might be an Arsenal player, but coming to the Albion on loan could well be his last chance, at a high level anyway - and it looks as if he's having difficulty taking it.
Booing was a bit harsh though - or was he really not trying very hard?

Most fans would forgive a trier but he looked less than interested. His runs were very leisurely and made it very easy for defenders.

It's because most fans were expecting AK Porn.

Want him to do well, and sure he's got bags of talent....

... a month or so ago I took my daughter to get autographs of the players, and Akpom stood out - first for having a huge showy car, which at his age and pedigree seemed well over the top, secondly for being the last player to arrive and running up the hill presumably hoping not to be bollocked for being late (and then running back to get something he forgot, and a rather resigned trudge back-up again)

He's awful. Should not be anywhere near the squad.

If he's clearly tossing it off he will get booed. Simple

Stick him on the concourse flogging burgers and pies at the next game. He's a waste of a tracksuit.

Should never get in our squad again after that. Disgusting lack of effort. Might as well stick one of our kids in. Didn't boo him though.
Yes, I'd like to see one of our youngsters given a chance, now that Akpom doesn't seem to have taken his (any of them).

What did he do in training to get the nod ahead of our other strikers?

Today was his chance to change the doubters minds, he didn't and the only benefit of his 55 minutes is Hemed is 55 minutes rested. Now **** off back to arsenal.
