 Hi Gary, Richard from Sky Sports News. How are you doing? Can we start with injuries, please? How are Netto and Dominic Salanqui? Netto will be out. He has an issue with his hamstring We're not sure how long it won't it won't be It won't be a short term. It'll be Fairly fairly long term we think In that, I mean it won't be a it won't be a week or two So Netto is gonna be out for the next couple at least Dom's a lot better than expected. So good news on Dom is recovered. Well, and we're still hopeful Okay, should we get the AR out of the way first off? I mean, I've got it out the way already We can get it out the way again if you want. Yeah, I think you said it's getting ridiculous on Monday night And obviously we saw what happened last night as well and different views on How how that's we all interpreted What are your views on the way it's being used at the moment? I don't have a problem with VAR. I think it I Think it should help us reach the right decision more often than we would without it So yeah, I don't have a I don't have a problem with VAR really. I think it it definitely has a place I think whenever I've discussed it and especially with referees and officials. I've always just said a hope that we just Continue to improve and find a way to arrive at the right conclusion more often And I think that's obviously what everyone that everyone hopes for so Yeah, that's that's where I am with it really Is that the frustration then more getting the rubber the green consistency and or even maybe some of the ways laws are interpreted? Yeah, I think that yeah I mean since the game on Monday night I haven't thought about it at all because I'm so keen to move on and focus on what we need what we can control And what we need to do and I don't have time to try and fix Laws and things on of the game. So focus purely on ourselves, but yeah, whatever it is I just feel that if if we arrive at the wrong Conclusion as often as we are then something then something needs hopefully to improve. That's that's basically where I Yeah, I just hope eventually we we find the right conclusion more than we have done recently. Yeah, let's move on then It is too successful defeats, but I came off such a good run and has anything changed in those games that you're looking to put right in particular Yeah, there was stuff that I wanted to put right in the foot in the first six as well to be honest So yeah, there's there's things that we're working on First half at West Ham we weren't as good as I would have liked us to have been second half of what we played well For we we wrestled back some control and where the were the dominant force without we had some we had some good situations without really Testing the goalkeeper, but then when I look at the other end that our goalkeeper wasn't tested either really so Yeah, apart from the breakaway where they get the penalty at the end I thought we had a real good second half performance where you felt something might might happen for us Yeah, Tottenham's performance a little bit indifferent. I know it's not like a fantastic time to play any a club like that But in front of your own fans with them in that form Is it a good time? Yeah, I don't know obviously they can they're an extremely talented side great squad great manager I've had a good start to the season obviously the last couple of results have been tricky for them Got Lucas Mora back which allows has allowed them to go back to three four three Which they they played for the start of the season when they were on a good run Also, they were missing Mora for Charleston and Cooler's F skew all at the same time So they've gone to five three two for a while, but I've managed to switch back. So Yeah, I mean to have a front three of Mora son and Kane When you're missing for Charleston and Cooler's F skew already shows that the quality and the depth that they have But yeah, we're I mean we're looking for I'm really looking forward to the game I think as you say at home in front of our own fans Boys are we looking forward to getting back here? And another chance for us to go and put on a good performance And just finally for me you're asking question before and after every match about the job Do you expect to at least have it through to the World Cup? No, I don't expect anything I I'm for just getting ready for I expect to have it for for Tottenham I expect to do well against Tottenham, and then we'll we'll see where we are after Tom Okay, just on the goalkeeping situation then obviously Mark Travers was left out by you after the nine went in against him What psychological challenges he facing coming back in there with an opportunity as the number one again? It would be no, I don't think he'll have a psychological challenge I think he's that he's training performances and now he's been since that moment have been top draw and I have Zero concerns around putting him back in I think I made it very clear when When the change was made that I was delighted to have both of them And I saw them both as number ones, and it was just netto at that moment For whatever reasons I felt But yeah, putting putting Mark Travers back in doesn't concern me at all I have full faith in him netto obviously has the mark the March on Traversing experience What therefore is netto added to the team that you'll lose without him? Yeah, he brought a calmness to us he Helped to sort of steady the ship when we'd add some tough results But when when I was asked around about it Initially I said I'm really pleased to have them both because Travis is a top goalkeeper. He makes top saves When he come when he trains with us as a team when we do our team stuff he's he's been making fantastic saves Whenever I check in with a goalkeeper coach as to what they're doing when they're not with us He always says he was top again So yeah, as I said at the time we're fortunate that we've got to that we can put him You may be where he had the game of his life at home to Spurs here saved everything a couple of seasons back when We're born with beats first. So that's a nice little market for the weekend Just at the other end obviously we spoke before about putting the ball in the net and where it's just coming up short for you at The moment have you found any more answers as to the processes behind the fact that you're finding it difficult to score? No, there's loads. There's loads of reasons why Why that could be an issue you've It's always if you go first half against West Ham We turn the ball over too often in before we get to that part of the pitch when we had real good situations That we would have definitely arrived and caused them problems if would have if would have been better and in those situations Second half against West Ham we arrived and we miss our well, I think we missed a couple of crosses where we were sort of in on goal We had a couple of decent sort of headed opportunities so nah, I think it's It's the most difficult part of the pitch to execute especially at this level and Yeah, we need to be really clinical when we arrived there because Especially against big teams you don't you generally don't see as much of the ball So you need when you arrive in that area you need to be clinical and we have been to be to be fair in We go away tonight and forest and score three we go away to Newcastle and you've seen what Newcastle have done since And take the lead for a great goal the goals at Fulham were were very very good To at home to Leicester. So yeah, I don't think it's a it's difficult, but I don't think we're I Don't think it's an alarming Situation the amount of goals we've scored so far. I think if you if you look at the Table and where we are in recent weeks for goals scored. I think we're we're doing. Okay, follow on for me The league table has spurs as the highest opponents that you'll have played since you've been charged Does that naturally make them the toughest challenge so far that you've faced as a manager? Yeah, I think they're yeah, I think from from the outside everyone will expect them to finish very high up the league I did I did say the same about Newcastle Newcastle are very very good But yes spurs have got world-class players World-class manager. He was been there a while now They have a real clear identity With and without the ball So it'll be it'll be a tough test, but not yeah one. I'm really really looking forward to I did forget one I know your son's a spurs fan, isn't he? Issues there in the house this week. No, he he wants us to win. He said yeah, he's keen for Bournemouth to win So, um, yeah, yeah, that was nice of him How does that why is he a spurs fan? Let's just explain how my wife's dad Was a big spurs fan and obviously I'm fairly busy at weekends generally So he started yeah, he started going to spurs with my wife's dad I was keen for him to go and watch and he yeah, he loves it So and they've got a nice stadium so I thought I'd send him to a nice stadium to watch his to watch his football So do you get the chance to take him or obviously? I've been a I've been a couple of times with him Not not as often as as you would like to but yeah occasionally if the game I think last year we went a couple of times on a Sunday maybe Yeah, so yeah, he loves his football So but yeah, he'll be he'll be pushing for a Bournemouth win like the rest of us Just staying on the spurs theme there. We've got Adam Smith who's currently Captaining the team leading the team. Just just tell us how important a player he is Off the pitch as well as on we can all see him on the pitch off the pitch as well Yeah, it's been really good really really good. Obviously knows his you know He knows his way around the club has been here a long time played an awful lot of football matches So yeah, it's um, it's been it's been brilliant for me. Um off the pitch on the pitch as you say Um the role of a captain is important, of course, so um to have him stepping in for loyady Loyady is obviously a huge loss for us as well. Um, so to have smudged to step in has has been good It's an important game. It's the rainbow laces campaign this weekend as well Just tell us how important and you know the players can be role models at this at this time Yeah, I think yeah, I think it's it's very important I think the game's come a long way obviously still still work to be done. Um But yeah, I mean everyone's aware that And I'm glad that we're in a place where More people feel that they can they can be themselves and be open. Um Around around what they are and how they feel Obviously, we've got our own group here the proud cherries who do some real good work. Um So yes, uh, it's it's it's a nice reminder for everyone
