In playing the number 9 role.
Emersonn maybe, but Akpom?!

Think the comment was more that he was behind on understanding the role down to the length of time with the squad rather than that he's third choice. That would also have been true last Saturday when he was the one given the nod. |  |

Yep was in terms of understanding. |  |

Oh yes, 100%, but he was outstanding in that role on Tuesday, so I think he understands it pretty well! | |

Surprised Akpom remembers what the #9 role looks like, he wasn't given much chance to play there last season. |  | | |

Indeed, which makes GON's quote even weirder!
Personally I'd start Flemming tomorrow, he's a proper handful. | |

I certainly don't see GON's take on the attributes of his frontmen being any more weird than McKenna's. It's maybe just that GON is more candid about what he thinks.
The way that Akpom was used under McKenna was a real headscratcher. |  | | |

From what I saw Tuesday, Flemming played well but the team needs to adapt to playing with him. A bit like Harry Kane he drops deep quite a lot getting involved with the build-up, however then we'd get the ball in a good position and there was nobody in the box.
What I mean is when he plays Enciso and the wingers need to make runs beyond him and take up the space he vacates |  |

Tho I'm not sure too much can be read tactically into Tuesday, when we were facing comparably a very strong team without many of our usual players in position, who perhaps might have been more inclined to make those runs, or provided a stronger midfield platform thus not necessitating Flemming to drop quite so deep. |  |
