The ability to create chances is one the key cornerstones of Andoni Iraola's footballing philosophy, but against Leicester, a familiar story emerged whereby Cherries had a high xG (expected goals), but no ACTUAL goals to our name. Focusing on xG is only important when you’re not winning games. It's a stat which helps detect whether a team totally d…

Cherries' 3-1 victory against Saints on Monday night should have been more flattering. Three first half goals from Evanilson, Ouattara and Semenyo put the game out of reach early on, but despite a late rally, Russell Martin's side rarely looked like threatening Iraola's men. The tactics were questionable, the persistence with a failing plan was baf…

Saturday saw Bournemouth' returning Merseyside and like the previous encounter against Everton, the weekend's clash against Liverpool had ANOTHER 11 minutes of madness.

For 86 minutes, Bournemouth were dreadful, but with minutes to go, Sean Dyche made some changes which caused Andoni Iraola to smell blood. In just ten minutes Cherries overturned a two goal deficit to win one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Premier League history. The tweaks were minor, but they allowed us the exploit what Everton had on lock-d…

There are reasons to be optimistic this Saturday, as Cherries visit Goodison Park for the last time ever. Yes, it's not a place where we have much joy, but the way we are playing suggests we have MORE than a chance against Sean Dyche's spluttering side. Tom and Sam are the The Queens Park for the BIG match preview! If you can help us in our plans w…

Saturday evening saw VAR thrust into the limelight again as Bournemouth's winner against Newcastle United at Dean Court was deemed to be handball. The media didn't see it, the Bournemouth players didn't see it, the Newcastle players didn't see it, but 100 miles away in Stockley Park, the "t***ts in suits* DID. In this brutal review, Sam, Tom and Ne…

The expectations on Eddie…

Bournemouth rescued a point against Nottingham Forest in a performance which was a little bit stunted, and a bit dechelleved for large parts of the game, however the introduction of Justin Kluviert and Ryan Christie seemed sort out the malaise, and thankfully our striker for today Antoine Semenyo turned up at the right time to enable us all the sin…

This weekend, Bournemouth were outclassed, yet fans left the Emirates feeling outraged! It was clear to see that Arsenal were imperious. They were superior in every department, and the result against Cherries did not flatter them. They dominated us, their xG was better, and they created way more chances. However, two decisions at the weekend frustr…

Bournemouth’s first half against Villa was cool, controlled, and but for a lapse in concentration in the stoppage time, it would have been comfortable - as most of the hosts early threats were being stubbed out. With Dom Solanke’s eighteenth goal of the season in the bank - it was looking like Iraola's side would go in 1-0 up, but ex-Red Morgan Rog…

Why are Manchester United fans happy to accept mediocrity? Which club does Dominic Solanke REALLY need to play for to be noticed by Gareth? How on EARTH will Tyler Adams work his way into a midfield duo as good as what Christie and Cook are?! And was that our most frustrating draw of the season?! Sam and Tom untangle the weekend's game, where VAR w…

Carlton Morris scored an injury-time winner for the Hatters as they saw off Bournemouth at the death to keep their hopes of Premier League survival alive. With Manchester City around the corner, it was a must win for the Hatters - so after a fantastic but fruitless first half, and THEN going a goal behind, the reaction from the home side was nothin…

Last year, the pundits has the knives out as Bill Foley made a managerial switch which was deemed scandalous and ludicrous. Since then, after a shaky start where players adopted a new style, Cherries have scored more, accrued more points, conceded fewer, and are three points from European football. Should more respect be put on Andoni's name from t…

Bournemouth fans witnessed the best and worst of their side in the week, in a stunning 4-3 comeback against Luton Town.

An underwhelming draw with Chris Wilder's Blades on Saturday has left Andoni Iraola with a few decisions to make. With game-changing substitutions and regulars who potentially aren't up to scratch, Bournemouth fans are wondering whether the gaffer will stick or twist ahead of our next game against Luton. Sam and Tom dissect the clash and examine th…

On Sunday, Vincent Kompany's Clarets had double the shots, thrice the possession, and average positions which mimic our recent loss to Manchester City. Difference is, Burnley are NOT Manchester City, and all it took was Andoni's side to wait, watch, and then strike at the right time, and we did so - twice. With the Lancashire side sleep-walking to …

Despite another defeat on Saturday, Iraola finally managed to arrest the performance decline when it comes to facing Manchester City, by overseeing a showing against Pep Guardiola's side which exuded bravery, courage, and tenacity... With the Cherries only millimetres away from claiming our first points over the Sky Blues since the nineties, Sam Da…

On the surface, Bournemouth's draw at Newcastle is a good result, but many a Cherry left St James' Park feeling frustrated after Matt Ritchie's late strike rescued the game for the hosts. On the one hand you could say a draw against the Magpies is good, but in terms of chances... Cherries fans can perhaps rightfully feel aggrieved at having only ga…

On Saturday, Marco Silva's Fulham schooled Bournemouth in a performance which gave Cherries little room for manoeuvre. Outfought in the middle of the park and exposed on the flanks, Fulham were rigid and robust - throwing bodies on the line. Despite this, Bournemouth had 25 shots, but with the home side defending staunchly throughout, only five hit…

Whilst the referee stole the headlines at Sunday's clash at Dean Court, debate has been raging amongst *some* sections of Cherries fans about the disjointed nature of the clash against Nottingham Forest and whether it was a terrific tactic from Nuno's Espirito to stifle buoyant Bournemouth, or whether it was simply a cynical case of anti-football b…

After the numbness of Sunday's humbling by Liverpool at a windswept Dean Court, hunting for positives from a Bournemouth point of view after being blown away so convincingly is a tough ask, but amid the pain of the 4-0 defeat, many Cherries fans are also pondering whether they have actually simply witnessed their beloved side lose to the league cha…

In January, people questioned Gary O'Neil. In April - they lauded him. In June, the decision to replace him was "ludicrous". In September, Iraola "needed to go". Yet in December, we had people purring over us. What is going on?! Are the media starting to realise? Sam and Tom discuss all the on pitch conjecture as AFC Bournemouth went from "zeros to…

AFC Bournemouth are unbeaten in seven, have registered a record equalling four wins in a row, AND have the best ever points tally at the half-way stage in the top flight - Cherries fans are in dreamland. Owner Bill Foley suggested that "Europe within five years" was a possibility, but with Iraola's boys in seemingly unstoppable form, fans are wonde…

Bournemouth's win at Old Trafford has been widely heralded as Cherries' best EVER win, but whilst Andoni Iraola is rightly getting the plaudits from some pundits, the undercurrent amongst the media is again to focus on how POOR United were. There however is a world where maybe, just maybe, Ten Hag and his side were simply out-thought, out-played, a…

Bournemouth have taken ten points from their last fifteen, and whilst every player has contributed to the upturn in form, one in particular has found a new lease of life in a deeper position, with some sublime performances which have got fans raving about him. Ryan Christie was often deployed out wide, or even as a number 10, but alongside Lewis Co…
