#60 Draw away against Spurs that felt like a loss
10 Plays24 days ago
Dive into the detailed post match review against Spurs and find out why Vik and Dan felt like a point away actually felt like a loss. The Cherries have outplayed Spurs in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and missed the chance to take away all 3 points due to lack of concentration in the last third of the game. Years ago, we would have been more than happy with away point against Spurs, but this now just shows how good The Cherries have become over the years!

Game Review and Missed Opportunities
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, a lot of things to talk about. ah Have you been at the game?
00:01:53
Dan King
Did I go to the game? No, didn't go to the game.
00:01:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:55
Dan King
Watched on TV.
00:01:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
get Okay, so we both watched it on the TV. um Right, so let's say, what what what are your overall thoughts on the game?
00:02:08
Dan King
Two points thrown away. Missed chances. Keeper error. Unlucky. well. If we're Bournemouth though, let's just switch it on as a positive.
00:02:22
Dan King
we are challenging Tottenham away at their ground and should be em dominating them. So lots of different points there, but that was my summary.
00:02:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, that's a good point. i I've seen this game as as three points even before it started. I was just so confident. And in the last episode that we did as a crossover with with our colleagues from Spurs, they weren't very ah positive and confident about their team either.
00:02:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
So um obviously with them losing to AZ Alkmaar in the European competition last week, um we could sort of anticipate that no first team will come out. He will try and save some players because he needs to chase the result. And obviously he's aware, the coach is aware that they won't be able to get in probably top six in the Premier League.
00:03:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So they have to try and win the the European competition in order to be able to play Europe next year as well. um So yeah, started great. I mean, we...
00:03:28
Dan King
The Spurs team was strong, though. They had loads of players back unexpectedly. They had Romero, who's a very good centre-back.
00:03:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
They had Roberto, yeah, Van de Ven in the second half as well. and That's correct. But still, you know, it's it's not the Spurs that we used to watch couple years ago. And and it's just, you know, especially like Bournemouth outplaying them in their stadium like it happened today.
00:03:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
We had every, every good opportunity to win this game and we blew it up.
00:04:01
Dan King
It's just some sometimes some poor decision-making in the final section as well. So many times on the edge of the box and the pass goes to the wrong person, just slightly behind, or they turn the wrong way. You just thought we're going to get more goals. Didn't happen. up That but um first half, though, was a bit boring at first. But, you know...
00:04:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was, but I think even both the first and second half, we've seen we've seen one of the better games from from our team, from the Cherries. And the ah my personal opinion, I mean, Kepa has been good for most of the season, but I think this game goes on
Blame and Comparison
00:04:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
him.
00:04:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Both goals, not just one.
00:04:46
Dan King
Yeah, well, let's talk about the first one. The Sars cross slash finish. and
00:04:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
But to me, it looked like he tried to aim. He saw Kepa out of his line. And to me, it looked like he was aiming for it.
00:05:00
Dan King
You saw his celebration. he was just laughing. He cannot claim that one. Yeah, yeah Kepa. should Should a keeper be beaten from that angle?
00:05:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, that that that's that's why I said it. It's it's a goalkeeper's goal. i No. No, it's just he he was he was out of his line and he anticipated the cross.
00:05:25
Dan King
Yeah.
00:05:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
And this is when you get to certain age, right, and you start playing more on your experience, you try to anticipate where is the most likely place that the ball is going to go.
00:05:37
Dan King
Yeah.
00:05:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So these goals don't happen every day, right? But it's one out of 10,000, you know, it's...
00:05:43
Dan King
That
00:05:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and it just happened today and it had to happen to us, unfortunately.
00:05:47
Dan King
bad happened to us.
00:05:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It had to happen to us. But like you said, we we didn't use the chances.
00:05:49
Dan King
And then this
00:05:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
And this is karma. Hit us back.
00:05:53
Dan King
Well, let's go back to that. Let's talk about the first goal, Bournemouth's first goal. and What did you think?
00:06:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
he's my guy. i You know, i it's going to be sad to see him leaving in the summer. um But, I mean... It reminded me of the goal, that one one of the last games of Wayne Rooney in MLS. i don't know if you remember that goal. when he Yeah, so he followed back. he he run all the way He was the only player to run back and follow the player.
00:06:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
He tackled. He took the ball and then he hit, but this was different a bit different, right? So he hit the cross from nearly half the pitch.
00:06:31
Dan King
yeah
00:06:34
Dan King
Yeah, I remember it's coming back to me.
00:06:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hit the cross. Yeah, so you know the goal. Yeah, so it straight away reminded me of that. And the the pace before the cross so the whole build up and everything just boom ah and tab yeah perfect perfect time
00:06:47
Dan King
and The intersection was brilliant. He intercepted it, read it, and just started pulling away from the rest of the Spurs team. And then that delivery, and then Tav to get onto it. Wow.
00:07:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
and with his right foot because tav is left with it
00:07:00
Dan King
Except for
00:07:02
Dan King
i just He just jumped in. I think he he just flung any part and and it went in. and Kirk Ed, and he's speaking about they were on about his athleticism and his strength.
00:07:13
Dan King
He's just getting better and better, isn't he? Each game you see more and more he's getting fitter.
00:07:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Definitely.
00:07:18
Dan King
I remember when he first started, ah he kept cramping up, didn't he? He kept cramping up over 60, 70 minutes. and i don't decide him to do it.
00:07:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and he had no defensive skills at all.
00:07:29
Dan King
No, he didn't have the strength. He didn't have the physical strength. and They've obviously worked with him um at the club. And is he lasts 90 minutes and but almost all the time. He's chasing back. He's getting forward. he is a great player.
00:07:45
Dan King
You say about him leaving. he does leave, yeah, we will be gutted. We've got his replacement in Soller. he's already and and He's already in development to get physically stronger.
00:07:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know. I know it's going to be sad, but but yeah, let's let's let's enjoy while we still have him. And, you know, let let's enjoy his game because it's it's in his interest as well to play as as better as he can.
00:08:02
Dan King
yeah
00:08:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So...
00:08:10
Dan King
it's very it's just weird isn't it all these when you start hearing in all these different news places it's the agent definitely put it out there it's the same with halton the agents like who would have known about this apparent release clause unless the agents put it out there
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
The agent...
00:08:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the 50 mil, yeah, that's true. Yeah, since the signing, nobody knew about it. And we we didn't mention it in any of the episodes because we had no clue.
00:08:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's right. That's right.
00:08:35
Dan King
but
00:08:36
Dan King
What about then the second... ah but Let's speak about the goal that got disallowed. The goal, which would have been amazing, where Tavernier picked up the ball, went past one, went past another one and played it to Semenyo.
00:08:50
Dan King
Semenyo was too lazy at that point and was caught offside because he played it back.
00:08:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:57
Dan King
Just...
00:08:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a great build-up, great action.
00:08:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:08:59
Dan King
ah And it would have been a sensational goal.
00:09:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:09:02
Dan King
But that little slight moment where Semenyu could have been, there's no excuse for him being offside there.
00:09:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
i think I think the whole game, Semenya was a bit out of of his position, let's say. I don't know. It it just looked like it wasn't his day.
00:09:18
Dan King
He hasn't got his confidence.
00:09:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
we know
00:09:19
Dan King
You're missing confidence him.
00:09:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
we know how good he can perform. And yeah, today it was just, you know, even when, when they were showing him in a closeup on the camera, you could see that, that and that something is, yeah, something is missing. Something is out of order and that's not a hundred percent Semenya.
00:09:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But yeah, I mean, he still created some, some chances um
Controversial Decisions and Performances
00:09:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
at the end of the day. And yeah, unfortunately would have been a great goal. As you said, it was a ah great buildup counter attack and,
00:09:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's just first touch passing. Oh, my God.
00:09:54
Dan King
You know he was always in there in these moments. I'm his biggest fan. He was playing today. Brian Christie.
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ryan Christie. And Christie was a bit of, I don't know it looked like something was missing from Christie as well. Maybe that injury that's bothering him. I wasn't expecting him playing, to be honest.
00:10:13
Dan King
Oh, that hit hits deep in the heart. I thought he was brilliant again. I've just been reading the fans' reactions. Okay, he is, you notice him when he's not on the pitch.
00:10:26
Dan King
What was the score when he went off?
00:10:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
What today?
00:10:29
Dan King
come Yeah, was the score at the end?
00:10:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
2-0. No,
00:10:33
Dan King
two two it's just He is like my comparison is to Rodri from Man City.
00:10:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
and actually, no. work he He left after the goal, did he? He left after the first goal of Spurs.
00:10:41
Dan King
um Either way, that first well, I just think it's not that.
00:10:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah. but But, yeah, I know what we mean. Yeah, and then then we had Alex Scott coming on and I know i know you're not a fan big fan of Alex Scott and...
00:10:55
Dan King
I just think Ryan Christie is the key man for us in that middle. I just felt like, again, sometimes he's not doing so much, but he picks the ball, switches to the other side, switches it back. Our ball intention is so much better.
00:11:07
Dan King
um Yeah, maybe not so far far forward, but
00:11:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:11:12
Dan King
Yeah, big fan of Ryan Christie and I will keep repeating him. You're not allowed to say a bad word about him. i I'm not even, yeah.
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:20
Dan King
Anyway, moving on.
00:11:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. OK.
00:11:21
Dan King
Our goal, our second goal.
00:11:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
time Yeah. Now, time time time to go for ah for a quick word from our sponsors, and we'll be back to talk a bit more about who was brilliant today.
00:11:23
Dan King
We've
00:12:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, and whilst we're still talking about the midfielders, right, I do have to say what the game Tyler Adams had.
00:12:31
Dan King
Oh, yeah. He...
00:12:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
a People don't talk about him.
00:12:37
Dan King
Yeah, because he's that player that does the things, he doesn't create the opportunities, but he's becoming one of those players you just need in your team.
00:12:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
To clean up the mess, let's say.
00:12:48
Dan King
Yeah. I think he... he and he's I think, if anything, since Sabani's been, he's been dropping even deeper to help out Hill. ah But good news, Sabani's been
00:12:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Even though James Hill had another good game today, not going to go.
00:13:02
Dan King
Yeah, I thought he did. thought he did. and But I just think Sabani's something else when he returns. But I also think, when speaking about the midfield today, i think Clive did really well. I know he's more striker, but he's chasing back. He chased back in low, so intercept, and gave away.
00:13:21
Dan King
like ah Yeah.
00:13:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
good, another goal that got this allowed. And
00:13:24
Dan King
And just the tactical fouls that he does. He is so happy to do to to to break up play.
00:13:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
tactical fouls.
00:13:29
Dan King
He will take a card. Yeah. Tavernier. um I'm not the biggest fan of him, by the way, um but stronger game for him.
00:13:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Me neither, but he he he was solid today.
00:13:40
Dan King
Yeah, very solid.
00:13:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was solid. He was solid. And um just to mention that Klavut also had an assist. Even though his goal got his allowed, he had an assist a bit later when Evan Elson scored.
00:13:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God, it's so great to see Evan Elson scoring. right It's it and then i's becoming like a routine, you know, a boring place.
00:13:58
Dan King
He's very good. He's very good. Clinical.
00:14:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Clinical. Clinical. I mean, finish one-on-one. Yeah, it was just a touch. He's right-footed, finished with the left foot without any problems, chipped the keeper. um It was great.
Critique of Key Players
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was great. But the positioning as well, just just seeing them, the way he opens up and running into the space. Yeah. And Klaiver, great delivery, the assist.
00:14:21
Dan King
It was interesting because obviously Solanke was on the other side today and I felt i don't think I've ever felt so confident with a striker going through like that because I would never feel that confident with Solanke one-on-one, but Evan Nilsson, I do.
00:14:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
its I'm not going to say they're seminal type of players because they I think Solanke was playing more as a target forward when he used to play for Bournemouth. And Evan Ilsen, I'd say the role he plays is more of a poacher.
00:14:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And yeah, he's just right place, right time. And that's him. We've seen scoring in the last game and he scored now and hopefully he'll score in the next game as well um against Brentford. That's a big one though.
00:15:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And yeah, and it's, you know, I'm looking forward to see how many goals he'll he'll net in by the end of the season.
00:15:15
Dan King
and how will Ali do in Europe next year for us?
00:15:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yes. Yes, baby. Europe, Europe. Come on. Well, you get your passport ready because mine is ready, mate. Mine is ready. So you might need a visa, though, but I don't have that problem.
00:15:29
Dan King
Oh yeah would yeah, you probably have two passs you have two passports, which is one.
00:15:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
I do have two passports, yeah. Well, two legal ones. Right. and So, coming on to the, well, the probably dodgiest moment of the game. Kepa's penalty.
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
i Me being as a goalkeeper as well, you could see that he he wasn't confident. So, he started running. Then he stopped for a second. Then he started running again towards the ball.
00:15:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Son was going away from the goal. Why did you need that? He wouldn't get to.
00:16:04
Dan King
Son sun did help to initiate the contact as well, but Kepa was stupid to allow him. Because like I said, you see where the ball was gone. Son's knocked it the other way, into the keeper.
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:16
Dan King
Happened with Jao Pedro as well, didn't it, in the Brighton game?
00:16:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
um It was a bit different though, but but similar, yeah. Yeah, I would say... Ja Pedro's situation was more, let's say, more more in the middle, yeah.
00:16:28
Dan King
Towards Holt.
00:16:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Where this one, he was clearly on, you know, more on the side and then he he couldn't have scored even if he went past.
00:16:39
Dan King
Yeah.
00:16:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
So the only thing that he could have done is probably pass the ball back into the box and try to create a chance for someone else. But, you know, it's we we're human, we make mistakes.
00:16:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
and And to be honest with you, it was funny, but I knew that Son's Son hasn't scored in the last seven games. And I knew he will go for the middle.
00:17:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I knew he will go for the middle because he wasn't confident. You could see he wasn't confident when he went on the ball. There was this three, so three four second break before. So from the referee's whistle to the moment he hit the ball, there was a little break. And then he was he he wasn't confident what he was going to do.
00:17:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Why the hell Kepa didn't stay in the middle?
00:17:24
Dan King
Wow. they They probably, I think he has an instruction, don't he? As soon as it's that key ah that player, they they somebody, the goalkeeper tactician would have already told him, go left.
00:17:36
Dan King
Most times, out of likelihood, it would go left. um Son knows that. son I think he shows confidence to go in the middle.
00:17:45
Dan King
I thought it was um surprised me that he did it. Did you see in the build-up to that penalty, They were all passing the ball around. It started with Solanke, then it went to Madison and then it ended up at Son to give him as little time as possible to actually think about where he's going to go.
00:17:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:00
Dan King
Yeah.
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, Madison, i interesting player to talk about.
00:18:03
Dan King
yeah
00:18:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think we had one chance where he literally has given us the ball and we didn't use it. And we could have we could have solved the game without situation. Yeah.
00:18:19
Dan King
tell you um okay so let's let's talk about who's your man of match kepper no apart from kepper
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, please. i Well, it's a tough one. I mean, I'd probably go for Kluivert.
00:18:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because over Kerkers.
00:18:38
Dan King
over over kerkers
00:18:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a decision between Kluivert and Kerkers, but I'll give it to Kluivert this time. i Even though, because he scored the goal as well. Don't forget that. got disallowed. But the build-up and everything, as you mentioned before, the tactical fouls.
00:18:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he was running back. He was following back. He was always there in every every every build-up play. And I think he was doing a bit more work for Christy today that didn't really have too much ball in his feet.
00:19:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And that that's why I'm going to go for Kluivert.
00:19:18
Dan King
ah I think I'd have to agree with you. I did think... um I did like Lewis Cook again at right back. um I think they were trying to overload that side and he did a pretty good job there. But you've obviously got Kirk as he got the assist and that amazing tracking back and he did a great job.
00:19:33
Dan King
But Cliver, Cliver, Cliver consistently different areas in the game from the fouls, the tackles, all the way back to the disallowed goal.
00:19:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, a few tackles. Yeah. No, no, no. okay cause it's Yeah, and interesting fact to say that it's actually...
00:19:43
Dan King
He's got the assist. Yeah, I agree. Definitely agree.
00:19:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Kerkis is, I believe, if not the top defender, one of the top defenders from Premier League that had five assists this season. um so far it's it's brilliant seeing you know and especially because he's young our whole defence is young and it's you know it makes you think what this team could do in the future if if it stays like this but not all the dreams come true right time for another um quick break and we'll be back shortly after the ad
00:20:22
Dan King
Night.
00:21:26
Dan King
So how do we become more clinical?
Room for Improvement
00:21:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know. i It's annoying to think that we had more time to get ready. ah Tottenham had a game midweek. They had more fatigue.
00:21:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now when we should have won, we didn't. We would have gone up to sixth position on the table. ah My opinion, maybe Sinistera should have come on a bit earlier rather than the last five, six minutes of the game.
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I don't know, maybe he doesn't feel ready. Maybe that's that's the issue. Maybe that's the reason. But I would have given him more chance. Dango tango was a bit sloppy today. I don't know what happened with him.
00:22:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Clearly, Van Nielsen is not ready to play 90 minutes yet. um But he gave his everything and he did really well.
00:22:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
70 minutes of the game. We've seen last season as well when Uña was coming off the bench. um it was usually around 70, 75 minutes. Maybe this is the the time that Evan Ilsen can, you know, give his best up until and that's it.
00:22:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
He cannot stay anymore. But, yeah, Dango...
00:22:41
Dan King
surprised Jefferson didn't come on. I thought Jefferson may have came on instead of Dango, but...
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought so, yeah. But then, you know, maybe that that there's there's that clear thing in Erel's head that when we needed him the most, Dango, you know, was there.
00:22:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Dango was shining. And We've seen you know the best out of him as a striker, so he needs to get his chance.
00:23:04
Dan King
I just think he takes a bit of time to warm up. I think he's so much better when he starts and Dango. I don't think I've noticed many great games when he comes off the bench, but I think Dango can be very direct.
00:23:18
Dan King
Again, another player, that's a slight blip in the last few games, and it's like he's lost confidence. Him, Semenyo, great players in there.
00:23:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Semenya especially. Semenya especially. Maybe it's good to see Tav, you know, getting back in there.
00:23:32
Dan King
Hmm.
00:23:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But then who are you going to... If you put Anguay in, who are you going to put on the bench? Are going put Semenya?
00:23:39
Dan King
Maybe he does need a rest. I above i think Semenyu's one of our outlook balls and part of the tactics when we play across the field because even though I think he had a poor game going forward, he still wins the ball predominantly in the air.
00:23:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no doubt.
00:23:53
Dan King
was
00:23:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you could see that they're aiming with the long balls towards towards him. And...
00:23:58
Dan King
saying that, you could do that with Dango. They've done it before. Dango's, if not stronger in the air, and but it's more the hold-up play. I don't know. Sometimes you just need to vary it around, don't you? and
00:24:10
Dan King
ah Yeah, i id keep Semenya on. I'm confident in him.
00:24:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:24:15
Dan King
I don't know. i think it's just that it's just that that play in between. And I actually would like, I would say part of this, it could it be? This is being, we're a bit more, the Adam's dropping further back.
00:24:30
Dan King
less confidence in that. Sabana usually pushes forward, opens up even more space. But then I look at it again, I think we had the opportunities. There's so many times where I've looked like we were like 3v3 or 3v2 or we're matching him, but instead, and the players move, but the ball just doesn't come or goes a little bit too far.
00:24:51
Dan King
I think what we need is a confidence in Manjou back, having as many shots as possible. He was one of the ah about five games ago he was the top Premier League striker
00:25:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, with most creative chances, yeah.
00:25:02
Dan King
talking
00:25:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
And most shots on target, yeah.
00:25:04
Dan King
fake i't I don't think I can picture how many shots he's had over the last few games is that because the other teams are doing a really great job on him or is it he's not getting into that space to have that shot
00:25:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah To be honest with you, in the first, well, in not in the first, but in in few episodes in a row when we had those starts coming up, I was saying that I feel like Semenya is being a bit selfish, you know, because there were situations where he could have easily passed to to the far post and there was a player waiting, but he decided to finish himself and he would miss.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And maybe that affected his confidence. I don't know. um There was this run of six games where he literally got involved um having a a goal or an assist.
00:25:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
and six games in a row, and it was brilliant. It was great. And I think after that, the media started connecting him to bigger teams, to and then maybe that, you know, maybe that affected his mentality.
00:25:56
Dan King
Yeah.
00:26:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I'm sure he's strong. I'm sure he'll get back. Maybe, as you say, he just needs rest. We'll have the international break next week. um so Sorry, the week after, yeah. So we'll go Brentford at home the next one, and then it's the international break.
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And yeah,
Optimism and Looking Ahead to Brentford
00:26:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
maybe that will help. Maybe that will help him regain his his confidence and we'll see him scoring into the next one straight away.
00:26:27
Dan King
But is it mad? we're We're sounding down, but we've just got draw at Tottenham in front of how many people, and we're a little old Bournemouth.
00:26:38
Dan King
That's how life has changed for us. Let's not just be that negative now. Let's actually be a bit positive.
00:26:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, that's great. It's a great feeling. I'm not going to lie. I feel down because I know we could have done more. We could have done better.
00:26:48
Dan King
Yes.
00:26:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's that's how we feel, right? But then two years ago, if we had a draw against Tottenham in that stadium, it would have been, we've got a draw, like, you know.
00:26:58
Dan King
I think the last seven times we've played Tottenham, we've only won once. So 2023. So at home, that is. At their home, sorry. That
00:27:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
In a way, I think it was 2019? Was it that? When Dango scored... 3-2 win for Bournemouth. Yeah. was it that when when danggo score
00:27:15
Dan King
was 2023.
00:27:17
Dan King
I was there. we get The 3-2.
00:27:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
so three two win for boout
00:27:21
Dan King
Yeah. The last minute goal.
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:27:23
Dan King
That's the only one we've ever done in like years. And now we've we've got to draw. we Yeah. that's Let's be optimistic. I'm proud of the boys. um
00:27:34
Dan King
On to the next game. On to Brentford.
00:27:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
onto Brentford.
00:27:37
Dan King
Brentford are strong team. I think Brentford are better than Tottenham. Obviously, the league position shows that.
00:27:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
The league position shows that.
00:27:43
Dan King
um
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brentford and Brighton are the teams that Bournemouth has been struggling with. And so i think I think we can win.
00:27:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we we we have to win the next game in order to to keep our dreams alive.
00:28:04
Dan King
Yeah, and I think it can happen. It can happen. We've got the belief.
00:28:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
