Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!
Eddie Howe’s turn. “A tough game … we knew it would be … it was the game we expected … there was a lot of good aspects to our performance, but the final third, no … a lot of effort but not the quality … we did some really good bits … we lacked that killer instinct … Bournemouth were a tough nut to crack … by our very high standards [conceding two goals from corners in a row, after West Ham last week] that’s disappointing, we need to look at it to see what went wrong … I can’t fault the players’ effort … to go 17 unbeaten is incredible … to come away unbeaten is a real positive … Saint-Maximin and Almiron might not be too bad but Willock looks like a hamstring.”
