This is understandable from a wide player who has a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and is pleasurable to watch. However, his team find themselves in an awkward situation, having engaged in a form flip: it is the struggling side West Ham who enter with successive wins, while Bournemouth are down 7-1 on aggregate over their previous two matches following an strong start to the season.

The manager's team must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the league contest from this position, as well as a major boost in performance, and opportunity emerges with seven of their following ten league games versus teams presently in the lower half in the league.
