#50 Post match review AFCB - Liverpool / Juice squezeed out of Cherries by the Egyptian God - AFCB vs Daren "Scouser" England 0:1
9 Plays26 days ago
In this episode, Vik is back as a host to continue the Cherries podcast. To make it clear, i one of the last episodes published Vik has promised not to record any episodes until Bournemouth's unbeaten run ends! It all started when Vik got intimidated by one of the fans saying that "we were jinxing AFCB with our podcast". We are now back to prove that this isn't the case and quite confident that the Cherries will continue with their great form and hopefully get a spot in one of the European competitions next season!

Introduction and Guest Introduction
00:00:02
Speaker
Every club. Every day. The Global Sports Podcast Network. Hello and welcome back to the Daily Liverpool Podcast, or the Daily Bournemouth Podcast, depending on if my guest wants to publish it or not. ah My guest today is Vic from the Daily Bournemouth Podcast. How are you doing, mate? Well, where do I start? Where do I start? after the Where do you start?
00:00:31
Speaker
I'm feeling good. Thanks. It's nice to be back. ah Many of you guys don't know I had a thing with one of my friends, one of my mates, who is our daily listener.
Bournemouth's Unbeaten Run and Podcasting Promise
00:00:43
Speaker
ah And one of the last podcasts I've done ah was when we played against Man U. And since then, I promised to my friends that I won't be doing any episodes until Bournemouth has lost the game. We went to 11 games unbeaten.
00:01:00
Speaker
Right. And now you're back. And now I'm back. Well, I had to. I had to respect my word. It was looking good. It was looking great. I was thinking maybe he can't go until the rest of the season. But then on the other hand, bloody hell, I have to start doing something because our listeners are going to be quite annoyed. Right. Because there's no episodes being published.
Game Atmosphere and Referee Decisions
00:01:19
Speaker
And yeah, with Liverpool coming, being in the first place and with the referees always, you know, being A bit more loose again. I will say, you were getting the excuses in before the half-time whistle. So, I mean, you were preparing yourself for imminent doom there. And we will uncover that. um But I thought Bournemouth started the game quite well. You know, you were in our box a couple of times, ah and there was that amazing chance when Antoine Semenyo hit the bar. And my heart exploded when it hit the bar, I will admit.
00:01:56
Speaker
um My sitting room was reverberating under ah my voice. I mean, you were at the match, so ah yeah what was it like when you were there? Was the atmosphere loud? Were the Bournemouth fans really up for it? i Honestly, i one of the best games atmosphere-wise so far this season, ah like we didn't stop chanting the whole game. ah or Regarding the referee,
00:02:23
Speaker
eight it kind of ruined the game in the first half. ah Penalty this is something we're going to talk about later, but yeah, we'll talk about that. Other decisions like stupid files and just, you know, yeah easy challenges, like people shielding the ball, players shielding the ball and all that. He was giving files for that. um And it was quite annoying seeing that. And obviously, yeah, the penalty
00:02:48
Speaker
I was asking about Antoine Semenyo. I know you're excited to talk about it, as am I, because, I mean, we can have a lengthy debate about this penalty and, you know, anyway. Yeah, Semenyo's
Controversial Penalty and VAR Debate
00:03:00
Speaker
chance. i yeah So I was in the North stand where where were the Cherries' loudest fans are. And when I feel like I really want to cheer, want to shout, sing and all that, I get a ticket for the North stand. and ah Bournemouth usually plays towards the south stand, so attacking towards the south in the first half, yeah and then attacking towards the north in the second one. And that's the menu's chance. Obviously, we've seen it. It was on the other side, but I saw the Bournemouth going inside the goal. So jump I I jumped, started screaming, and then the guy next to me pulled my hand. It's like, lad, calm down, mate. I thought that was it. Oh, my word. Mixed time controller emotions. are Okay, mate. Sorry. sorry
00:03:44
Speaker
I mean, yeah, I still, I mean, my heart hasn't quite recovered from that chance. I mean, I didn't get to see the second half live, but I was quite, to to be honest, in the first half, I was quite impressed by how much the referee was letting go because there were a couple of things where, um you know, he could have easily been pedantic and pulled ah the player up on that you know like shielding the ball and so on so forth but in the first half anyway I thought he was quite lenient obviously you have a different view to me and now we'll we'll talk about the penalty now I think because I can tell that there's a massive demon growing inside you that you just need to let out
00:04:28
Speaker
So yeah the penalty happened in front of you if you are describing where you were. Yeah. And, you know, it was a trip. There was contact and there was a trip. Did you not see the trip? No. So what we did is I usually went one whenever there are situations like this during the game, I also play the game on my phone so we can rewatch it straight away. Well, me and the fans around me, we can see what actually happened because, uh, in the stadium, obviously there's two screens and they only put the video when the decision has been made. But until the decision has been made, obviously, if you put it on your phone, watch it live, then they're going to play it for a few times. So what the thing that that we saw, right? Was transcending the ball.
00:05:13
Speaker
diagonal pass to Gagbo who made the run who seemed offside at the first okay okay made the run inside and the next place i'll give you that The next thing the with the that that we did see is Gagbo hitting his left calf with his right foot. That's all we saw. And we were fuming. We were fuming. And there was contact from Lewis Cook, otherwise he wouldn't have done that. And you should have seen as well, from where you were sat, Lewis Cook did not protest. You know, he he didn't run over to the referee ah being adamant about his innocence. It was a trip. The thing is,
00:05:53
Speaker
Now, same situation, right, regarding the offside, they were checking the VAR on the penalty, but why the VAR hasn't been checking the offside line? They did, because it was quite, like, if you look back at the footage, Van Dyck was, erm, sorry, not Van Dyck, what am I on about? The Bournemouth defender, I think. Zabarni. No, not Zabarni, the Heisen, I think. Heisen was playing him on, erm, and, yeah, so it wasn't the player that was near him, it was the player that was on the left centre-back, which I think was Heisen.
00:06:23
Speaker
and he was playing him on so they were able to dismiss that quite quickly but it was just the penalty that they were checking and um and i mean there was contact from Lewis Cook it tripped him up and then there's the whole debate about you know is a trip a penalty and it's one of those I think you know on a different day it might not have been given I understand where you're coming from on that front but there was a trip It completely took away the goal-scoring opportunity, and it was illegal. It was a legal contact on his training leg, which caused him to, it was it like, it clipped his leg into his own leg, and he fell over. So he can't shoot now, he can't make anything of it. And to me, that's, yeah, okay, go on. If this happened to Bournemouth, we wouldn't have gotten the penalty. So you're saying there's some sort of conspiracy against Bournemouth?
00:07:14
Speaker
So looking from the start of the season, right? If I'm not wrong, Bournemouth, three goals Three goals have been turned around by the VAR, Bournemouth. Other decisions like off-site penalties. Yes, we have been given penalties so far, but if that was supposed to be a penalty for Bournemouth against Liverpool, I'm telling you, we would have not get it.
00:07:43
Speaker
No. Well, okay, fine. you You can... But I will say now, you are sounding a little bit like AFTV. That's what I think. I think you're like, it's like the whole conspiracy against us thing. I'll just grab my dada bear, Morgan, carry on drinking my coffee. Okay. All right. Anyway, so the Salah penalty, emphatic. Um, and he's had a good record against Kepper Aretha Belaga for, I will bring it up the league cup final a couple of years ago when he was at Chelsea top corner.
Salah's Performance and Disallowed Goal Discussion
00:08:15
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And this time bottom corner, nicely taken. And then Bournemouth did score a goal.
00:08:21
Speaker
It did get disallowed, but it was a good move from Milos Kerkesz and obviously massive friends with Dominik Sobostlaj taking pictures together after the game, swapping shirts in the changing room. Really nice to see their compatriots getting along, but it must be frustrating for you as well, because I i will admit to the naked eye, even in the picture, in the still of where it was,
00:08:46
Speaker
It was so close. Incredibly, incredibly close. And I think this game at the end of the day was about margins, um you know, for the penalty. ah And in this case, for the offside against Milos Kerkesz. But a nice finish from David Brooks, and that must have maybe given Bournemouth a bit of a lift before half-time. I don't think we played bad at all. In overall, not just the first half, the whole second half, we we we were attacking much more. I think we were a bit better than Liverpool in creating chances. and and obviously hitting the post again. Um, Alison making a couple of amazing saves, uh, you know, Bournemouth. I don't know. That was unlucky. Um, looking at the offsite situation, right. One of the pictures that I saw online, the way that the line was pulled like the offsite line, it was pulled over the boot of Conate. Right. So.
00:09:40
Speaker
To me, it did look like offside when we were looking on the phone again in the stadium and all that. But then seeing that picture online makes you think like what really happened? And is that VR really all the time against Bulmuth? Why? Just why?
00:09:58
Speaker
Whatever.
00:10:01
Speaker
No, no, I will. um ah I just can't see the logic behind that because, I mean, they'll look on the pixels, they'll look on the pixels on the monitor and it will show the line of what, I mean, you've seen them draw lines before, surely? Yeah, I've seen them draw lines and I've seen some awful rule lines drawing where the line would be like this. Right. So anyway. Well, it's because of the angle of the camera to the pitch. Anyway, offside was given. That's fine. We cannot change that.
00:10:27
Speaker
No arguments. But if if the goal was on, that would have been a different game. if yeah yeah i agree with that I agree with that. If the penalty wasn't given, again, that would have been a different game. And coming now into the second goal of Salah, I had to take my hat off. The goal was absolute. And the only thing the ball would play is hard to do, to keep his left side closed.
00:10:53
Speaker
It happened once, they've let him shot, they've let him place the ball, his left foot, finesse shot into the left top corner. It was a world-class finish. I mean, it's just prime salah once again. It's sort of like the things you'd see him do week in, week out, five or so years ago, during our Firmino and Marnay days. It is like, I think... to me he's still the best player in the world, to me. I know people will say Rafinha, you're laughing, but people will say Rafinha, people will say Bellingham. I mean in the Champions League it's Rafinha, I'll say that, but in league competitions, domestic competitions, I don't think anyone touches Salah right now. I think he is just so clear. I mean leading in goals and assists
00:11:42
Speaker
and he's already reached 20 and he's broken every single time he scores he breaks a record now as well it's 21 goals this season so far is it in the in the Premier League yes I think he's got a few more in other competitions but in the Premier League yes it's 21 and he's ah also overtaken Frank Lampard now so you know it's it's just crazy how much he's done in the Liverpool shirt and We are so lucky to have him. ah We are going to take a short break now and then we'll talk more about the second half in more detail. But first, it's time for you to find out what we use to record our podcasts here at the Global Sports Podcast Network. Do

00:12:56
Speaker
So just looking back at the second half, it really does seem like the game was one in midfield from what I've seen. I mean, you know, Ryan Christie playing at defensive midfield is not something I would have expected to see this season. Are you happy with his performances there? ah you and Not in one, and in in few episodes we did since the beginning of the season. and I mentioned how genius move was to put Ryan Christie to play as a midfielder. So not only Ryan Christie, we had Semenya being moved from a striker to a winger. ye ah That was one thing, then Cook being moved from midfielder to a right back to fill in. ah It's like Clive Hirt who won initially all his life, all his career plays a winger.
00:13:49
Speaker
was moved to play central attacking midfielder to play in the middle as a second striker behind the striker. Brilliant move, brilliant move. It's genius what you are. And that's why we're doing so well. That's why we are where we are now. And looking at the understandings as well, we're not so far off the fourth, fifth position where it's only like two, three points difference between us and the fourth place team. Ryan Christie, I think one of his best seasons so far.
00:14:15
Speaker
um He's a proper dynamo in the midfield. It's quite a revelation, isn't it? Seeing him, ah you know, because i when I used to watch him play, he'd sort of come off of come of the right. And it's similar to what they've done with Ryan Gravenberg, because when he used to play at Ajax and... Oh, ah yeah. yeah but When he used to play at Ajax, he was an attacking midfielder, but Slott has turned him into an absolute... CDM, yeah.
00:14:40
Speaker
ah yeah I mean, he has just been, he was man of the match for me, ah you know, say what you want about Salah's goals, but Ryan Grabenbach, I mean, that turn he did, where he did the sort of Magidi spin using his back heels to get out of trouble, he'd do a few, just... um ceiling Yeah, like how on earth do you even have the imagination to come up with that? So, I mean, yeah, ah Ryan Gravenberg, for me, was probably our best midfielder and probably our best player on the day. um I think... born so go
00:15:13
Speaker
yeah and I also think Robertson had a quite a good game, I'm not going to lie. Robertson obviously had some dropouts um in the last few games, wasn't really consistent since the beginning of the season and ah and I was hoping, you know,
00:15:27
Speaker
to see what what is he going to do, especially now with all the connections with Liverpool and Kirke's and all that. Obviously, that position being, you know, um hit. So, Robertson, for me, played a really good game. He was good both defensively and offensively. You're trying to get the word out so we don't take Kirke's. Is that what it is? Oh, I don't really care, to be honest. i Well, it's not going to stay, but, you know, it's it's not me who's going to affect his decision.
00:15:57
Speaker
Yeah. i love it We love him here. We love him from the first day. Um, I got the chance to meet him maybe one day knocked the wood. You never know. Maybe I bring him onto my podcast. Um, that'd be quite something. That's the idea. Uh, but we will, we will be having, uh, a player soon joining in one of the episodes. Really? I'm not going to say who I'm not going to say when, uh, but we are in current player in the squad or a legend or no, it is a current player in the squad.
00:16:24
Speaker
Wow. Okay. Well, you heard it here first on the Global Sports Podcast Network. Someone will be on the podcast soon. Daily Bournemouth from the Bournemouth Squad. Vic here pulling some strings. Nice to see. and This is what happens when you're a loyal fan and you go and watch every game and you you know, you show your passion and all that. It's just a dig at me.
00:16:47
Speaker
No, no sitting at me because it's sorry It's not my fault that my dad chose my team for me when he was watching football before he moved to this country Like what do you want me to do? I'm just going to support who he supports um no Everything feels different about Bournemouth. It's a small club small stadium and The player I'm on about I obviously she had already a chat with him okay not officially but we had a chat when we met because we met twice and in two days, so two days in a row. And that was actually this week. It was on Thursday and Friday. And the guys, it's probably one of the most humble players that I've ever met. I'm not going to lie. I've met other players in the past. I've met other players that play for Bournemouth and all that. Most of them are not chatty. Some of them were really sort of, you know, I'm here and you're here. So, you know. Yeah.
00:17:45
Speaker
But this person is a really down to earth guy and that's why I believe we're going to have him um on the podcast as well. okay well i i look forward to hearing that episode myself i mean i'm not completely in the loop with Bournemouth, but I mean, I'm sure that will be a fantastic listen. So ah yeah, stay tuned to Daily Bournemouth. We'll also talk more about the match now. I mean, Bournemouth did have their chance with Semenyo as well, one on one with Alison. ah I mean, brilliant goalkeeping from Alison, you have to say. I mean, he was the reason, the main reason that Bournemouth couldn't score.
00:18:25
Speaker
um but a huge chance. Do you think if that had gone in you could have maybe grabbed the three points and the momentum would have switched or do you think it wouldn't have really affected things in the big picture? To be honest that was um on 1-0 when it happened and the first thing on my mind was why did you not just chip the ball? Alison was already down.
00:18:47
Speaker
Alyssa was already on the ground before Semenya even kicked the ball. Yes, he covered the angle perfectly. I'm not going to lie. I used to be a goalkeeper myself. I used to have the same professional career. So I know how it works, but if he just tried to chip the ball, I think that would have gone in and then we would look different kind of ending. Maybe I, on a slot, would try to go more attacking ah because you could see that he wasn't pushing. He was trying to keep the ball and build up slowly um for the rest of the game.
00:19:18
Speaker
And obviously the second goal came, so we still kept attacking. I'm not going to lie. If you look at the chances until the end of the game, we had Bruxy coming off and Tav, Marcus Tavernier coming on, ah where within the first few minutes of being on the pitch, he hit the post. We had an amazing chance. Unbelievable chance. He hit the post. And Clivett with the open goal as well, straight afterwards. I mean, but back to Clivett. I don't think he expected it.
00:19:43
Speaker
I don't know. I don't ah was that just panic? Do you think that's the only reason you missed the ball just landing perfectly in front of his feet? Yeah, know real time to react. It happens. But yeah, is that do you think that's a criticism or do you think that should be seen as more of, you know, constructive criticism as opposed to judgment?
00:20:05
Speaker
i think I think you cannot really judge him much based on the performances this season that he's made and being the top scorer of the team. yeah Patrick last week? Yeah, yeah. um No, that was Dango last week. The one before was Clive.
00:20:20
Speaker
Oh, whatever. But no, based on his performances this season, you can all really you know blame him for missing one chance like that. If he misses a chance like that every game, then you can start you know having the the having to look into the whole thing and then saying, well, hello, love wake up, come on, well what the hell are you doing? you know ah You're costing us every game, at least one go. But no, his his performances have have been brilliant.
00:20:47
Speaker
ah Obviously, looking at the formations that both of the teams were played yesterday, they were quite similar. Both of the teams started with 4, 2, 3, 1. When you have two teams on the pitch playing against each other with the same formation, then you can really see ah the quality of the players that stands out. and That's the thing that I was talking about in the chat yesterday, how much is the Liverpool team worth and how much is the BOMA team worth? Yeah.
00:21:15
Speaker
the the the individual quality of the players. And again, yeah, we didn't stop attacking. We had that chance that Clive had missed. We had, I think, two more chances when I was a bit disappointed with decisions of our our strikers or our attackers. So Semenyo had the chance when he, it was two against two. um He came in front of the box.
00:21:38
Speaker
Jebbo, Daniel Jebison, was making a run inside behind the defenders. Semenya could have just put him the ball through. he He decided to shoot. um Okay, never mind. Gone. on Two minutes later, another chance. We were going three against two. Tav was in the middle ah carrying the ball. He had the player on the right. He had Jebison again on the left, who was cutting inside. He should have just put the ball through to Jefferson. But again, he decided to shoot and that ball went off the sky. And that was very disappointing to see. um a Yeah, yeah. But the good thing is the bomber didn't give up until the end. ah And yeah, if just the first half would have been a bit different, maybe the whole game would be, you know, different.
00:22:24
Speaker
ah Yeah, absolutely. um But another thing that could have changed the game is Alexis McAllister with the, um so he had a yellow card. And to be honest, I think that was harsh for him in the first yellow card. um We may have different views on this, but the one where ah was it Dango, who just ran straight into him when they were going for a counter back? Yeah, try to to to kick the ball and and run past him.
00:22:54
Speaker
Bob mccallister just stood in his way and obviously i want to make a file which was a phone purpose which usually. If it's a file like that you you are blocking the attacker from run or pulling the shirt from behind that sale car straight the away.
00:23:10
Speaker
I think the reason it may be a yellow card is because of the fact that it was a counter-attack. and You could see that if you run past him, there was no one behind. Defenders were coming back, but there was no one no one else.
00:23:26
Speaker
I still think a yellow card, it because it it was also in his own half as well. so you know and Van Dyke does have the pace to get back. you have to You have to admit Van Dyke is very, very good at covering. He's world club one of the best defenders ever, if not the best centre back ever.
00:23:46
Speaker
but You know, you have to understand why I'm a bit aggrieved as to why McAllister has been given a yellow cock. Because I think ice think it is soft. And you have to agree, that was quite soft for the booking. Yeah, but you stopped the tack. If Dango ran past, if Dango ran past him without touching, Van Dijk would have still been ba behind. Would he have cocked up or not? We don't know that. Because the the ref cannot rely on someone's face. Yeah, maybe Van Dijk could have slipped, you know?
00:24:14
Speaker
You don't know what could happen, but you're stopping an attack like that, a chance like that. um Regarding Van Dijk, I did say it yesterday, like this guy, that doesn't really run a lot. Like he was in a position before the ball went there. He's, I don't know, Van Dijk is a top class player. You can see that he plays with his mind yeah and and and basically he he anticipates wherever the ball is going to land, what what the player is going to do.
00:24:42
Speaker
He was brilliant, he was brilliant. Konata as well, I think his duels were quite on top, I think he won most of them. ah I mean i'm looking but I'm looking back on the footage and you know he's right on the wing and absolutely it's like ah you can say it's a breakaway but he's not through on goal I'm i'm just I'm looking at it he's sort of the way he knocks the ball forward and chases after it is actually to the sideline so I mean okay let's just say it's a yellow card move on ah because you know we're not gonna get anywhere with this
00:25:23
Speaker
So let's get the yellow. i could I could argue that would have been a red. but No, no, no. Okay, now you're now you're pushing it. You are really pushing it by saying that. Because he's in his own half, and he's by the byline. Yeah, but Dango's got pace.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yeah, but so was Van Dyke! That's the whole thing! Never mind. Leave it there. Let's leave it there. Okay. All right. So then a few minutes later, I think, McAllister does collide with which player was it? Was it Brooks? I could be wrong. Brooks, but again, we watched it on the phone and it seemed like you didn't really touch him.
00:26:01
Speaker
Yeah, I was thinking that the contact is minimal. I understand it's on his thigh, but A, the contact is minimal, and B, it's not an unusual movement from McCallister. His foot just comes down and he's trying to sort of push in the ball. The thing is that they were both looking at the ball. It wasn't like McCallister was looking at the player, or I know where is he going to jump, so I'm going to try to kick him.
00:26:25
Speaker
yeah They were both looking at the ball so and and the way yeah the way that slot reacted as well by pulling him out just in case so he doesn't get a red card yeah was was a good move as well. Okay, I actually thought that you were going to say that was a second yellow. No, no. I really thought so. So you're more aggrieved at McAllister standing in Atara's way. Yeah. That's the one that makes you more annoyed. Yeah.
00:26:48
Speaker
I can't see the logic behind that, I'm sorry, because that is not a red. You really think that's a red? No, no, no, no, no, no. I was, I was, I was taking the mic. No, no. Okay. All right. Okay. ah Right. So we are coming to the end of the discussion of the second half. We've already talked about the Salagirl so we don't need to do that again. um And in this final part we are going to talk about the player performances individually and the fixtures for both of our teams moving forward.

00:27:53
Speaker
well on Saturday. I
Tyler Adams' Leadership in Bournemouth
00:27:56
Speaker
think that's one of the most important players on the day and people don't talk a lot about him. um Our midfield engine, our anchor Tyler Adams. I think, I think, I'm a big fan of Tyler Adams. I think he's such an underrated player. I couldn't agree with him since we signed him from from Leeds. Obviously he came injured. We were waiting for him to recover for a long time.
00:28:24
Speaker
And now looking at him and playing just every game, he's just everywhere. He's such an underrated player. I completely agree. And he is sort of like a bit of a bully in midfield. You know, he really does get in opponents faces. yeah And also he's a leader. You know, I remember at the World Cup in Qatar, he came under a lot of um criticism from the Iranian journalists and he dealt with it so well. And I gained so much respect for him during that.
00:28:54
Speaker
um you know He's calm when he needs to be and he doesn't stop running. He'll do any job for a team. And that's what I really admire about him. And you know just as a fan of football, regardless of team, regardless of player, yeah there are some players you just want to see succeed. And for me, Tyler Adams is definitely one of them. You feel like he's got an extra lung.
00:29:15
Speaker
Yeah, honestly, that man has lungs of a horse. And and and yeah, he's just, I mean, for a player that's not very tall, um I think he's around six foot five, nine, six foot, if that... um it's you know it's It's amazing seeing him and especially last game against Forest, like he had two assists as well, which was great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:29:36
Speaker
and the he's I think people should be talking a little bit more about him because now, obviously, with our right backs being injured, Cookie being forced to play the right back, that's how Adams got his spot in the middle ah with k Christie. Now, when we get our right back, back in the team, back from the injury, what is going to happen with the midfield? Who is he going to be on the bench? Christie, Adam, so Cook.
00:30:03
Speaker
i mean Who would you choose to be ahed fit ahmifield your when your right back comes back? Who do you think deserves the spot the most? It's so difficult. I'd stick with Adams.
00:30:17
Speaker
And then just try rotating Christy and and and cookie I mean I suppose the question really of Adams is at the moment coming back from his injury Can he do this sort of thing week in week out? Oh, yeah, we're still yet to see. Oh, yeah, but now he's been he's been consistent now for the last Five or six games. He's been a starter and and obviously you you can see you can see by you know, his minutes he he barely gets subbed, you know, it's if you look at his um last last few games um give me just a second ah so yeah so he played since the since the Everton game when he came on played 20 minutes um every game apart from that he was 90 minutes on so oh okay yeah so um it's a good things are still to come of Tyler I mean still to come do you think this is the best version of Tyler Adams in these last few games or do you think he still has more to offer
00:31:18
Speaker
For me, he's good as he is now. um not okay um Even when he makes a mistake, he doesn't stop running until he does something to correct it. And and this is what I love when players, you know, are not just like, oh, I've lost the ball. I'm going to stop running now. I'm going to get annoyed. And I was like, no, he keeps running until the ball is out, until the game is stopped, something. But he doesn't stop. And this is what I like, the effort, the effort.
00:31:45
Speaker
Yeah, show's character and it's, ah I mean, that's what you look for. I mean, that's why there have been problems at Manchester United because their players haven't been showing enough character. They could do with more people with the mentality of Tyler Adams, maybe. ah Anyway, so that's the Bournemouth side. From the Liverpool side, I've already talked about Ryan Gravenberg. I think He's probably the biggest surprise player of the season, seeing him transition into defensive midfield. I mean, other than, you know, Chris Wood for Forrest and maybe Danny Wuerbeck for Brighton, I think Grammerberg has been the biggest story. Are we really going to take Bob Wright enough to 7-0 defeat? Oh, yeah.
00:32:27
Speaker
poor so It's something weird is going on over there. I have to... Well, I hope they're going to play the same when we play away because we've got a game away.
00:32:39
Speaker
in ah in a couple of weeks time. um Yes. in I'm looking at your fixtures now. You've got Everton for the f FA Cup weekend just coming up. Then you've got Southampton away. And Bournemouth versus Wolves, so Wolves at home. And then Brighton. And then three days later you're facing Brighton yeah away. I mean, that's not a huge trip, you know, it's down the south coast. It's about two, two and a half hour drive from here.
00:33:06
Speaker
a lovely bit lovely lovely place Bryson I must say I live i live quite near there myself it's beautiful around there maybe not during February but yeah so I mean you've got some relatively simple matches coming up looking at Liverpool now um Plymouth away on the weekend, you should expect us to advance into the next round there, but we won't be playing our strongest side. Three days later, it's our game in hand against Everton away. The last Merseyside Derby ever derby at Goodison Park. I mean, that is going to be amazing. It's a Wednesday night, 7.30 kick off under the lights.
00:33:46
Speaker
um Then we got Wolves at home so we both got Wolves coming up and then Manchester City away ah at the Etihad that will probably be the pivotal ah match of the season because I mean, Man City are actually scaring me at the moment. They have been back to their normal selves. I mean, they had an absolute thrashing in their own right recently against Ipswich 6-0 at Portman Road. So some big matches coming up. What I want to know from you now is... What are you hoping for out of Bournemouth's season?
Bournemouth's European Football Aspirations
00:34:21
Speaker
Are you hoping that you can maybe get some European football next season? ah Would you like to avoid it if to give you a better chance next season, domestically? oh what are you hoping well just What are you hoping for in general for Bournemouth? One of the pre-season episodes that we did um I did with my colleagues who have now left ah the podcast, I predict that Bournemouth is going to finish in position number 8. They were laughing.
00:34:48
Speaker
They were saying, Ooh, that's quite high, quite high expectations. But now seeing the the way that Bournemouth plays, I think we can do better. And I think we can be in top six and get that Europe spot. um Now, it doesn't have to be Champions League, even if it's a conference, Bournemouth has never played European football, right? So it will be something to really look forward to. ah My passport is ready.
00:35:10
Speaker
I've got it, I've expired until 2031, so I'm happy to go. My next trip anyway is in March. I'm going to watch my national team play in Austria, Nations League. So yeah, I'll definitely be going abroad and watching Bournemouth if it happens. I mean, that will be a huge story for Bournemouth, a team that went into administration in the late 2000s, suddenly 15 years later. In the drop off of League 2, yeah, yeah, yeah, 2007.
00:35:41
Speaker
It will be incredible. And it's similar to the Brighton story, really, of when they beat Ajax. Imagine that for Bournemouth, you know, even if it is just conference league. um See what that meant to West Ham to finally win something. Maybe that could be Bournemouth. And why not if you're playing the way that you are?
00:35:59
Speaker
so maybe i mean you're you're three points off eighth um in front uh and just looking at the table just getting it up now it's not coming up yeah so if you look what forest third with 47 we're seven points away from the third so it's you know equalized You're on the same points as Chelsea as well who are certainly behind mehan by two on goal difference and you're actually in better form. Three wins out of your last five, Chelsea only one win and two losses out of their last five. It only depends how how we're going to cope with with Southampton away and the ah Wolves and Brighton. you know The next three games we have to try and get the maximum points out of them ah because we know that Southampton obviously is a quite bad form and we
00:36:46
Speaker
You know, the this is the place where we we need to take away those three points. ah Because I can't see Southampton staying in the league. um No, me neither. Unfortunately, I do think it will be this the three promoted sides going straight back down. I mean, Leicester having Rud van Nistelroy as their manager, I think was quite an immature decision from the Leicester City board. Ipswich,
00:37:14
Speaker
they're showing some character. I mean, it all depends on what happens to Mateus Kunya, I think, because if he gets injured, um then I can't see wolves getting anything. um You know, wolves have lost four out of their last five games. Ipswich haven't won in any of their last five as well, granted, but I think it will all come down to that, really. Yeah, but looking at wolves like wolves being in the prem for the last few years, and Ipswich, who in the last two years has come from League One,
00:37:43
Speaker
into championship and then straight into Premier League, you know, it's a massive achievement for a team that's worth what three, four million pounds in total. um right It's amazing. And yeah, when one they when they entered the Premier League last year, I said that this is a big achievement for them, but I cannot see them staying. It's just not if they bring ah some some massive, you know, big names into the team, at least two, three players, which didn't happen. So... No.
00:38:13
Speaker
Only Liam Delappe and they've kind of been relying on him just for all of their goals. And he has been scoring some, was he on like eight goals in the Premier League this season or something? So not the worst turnout, but I did think Ipswich didn't really stand much of a chance of staying up. I think Liam Delappe and Lee Davies are probably the only two players that I could say something about in Ipswich and that's pretty much it.
00:38:36
Speaker
Yeah, that's probably the same for me. you Definitely looking forward to the European football. I think we can do it. I really think we can do it. We need to try and keep as many players as possible at the end of the season. I know it's going to be difficult. ah We need to try and keep the manager as well. Iriola, who is doing an amazing job. Unbelievable. It's a joke how good he is. We love him. ah He drinks Australia. He's better. He hates the scammers. So ah that's our Andoni.
00:39:06
Speaker
but
Episode Wrap-up and Farewell
00:39:07
