 Hello and welcome to a wet and windy Vitality Stadium for another AFCB TV preview show. I'm joined by matchday commentator Chris Temple and we'll be going through everything that's gone on in the last few days. Here's what's coming up. We'll be looking back at that 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town here at Vitality Stadium. We'll also be discussing the extent of Lewis Cook's injury picked up on Tuesday night. And finally we'll be looking ahead to the weekend's game against Liverpool here at Vitality Stadium. But first let's go back to Tuesday night and that 2-1 win over Huddersfield here at Vitality Stadium. Here are the short highlights. Played Callumon. I thought he was matters offside but it just shows you what the human eyes just can't see. Great goal. Well it's a great header from Callum Wilson who scores yet again. Second game in a row. And Wilson now up against Zanka. One on one he's got Fraser in Ocean to space. Fraser running onto it. Wilson missed time the provider. And Bournemouth doubled their advantage in the first corner of the game here. It came from a Huddersfield mistake on the half-way line. But Bournemouth made them pay. 2-0. Well it was a KFC gang. Kingie with the ball. Fantastic pass. Callum takes it in his stride. Noxio across to Fraser. He puts it through the keeper's leg. Works its way back to Aaron Moyer. Over on the right-hand side now. Cuts onto his left foot. Floats of all into the penalty area. Go the heads, nodded back in towards Zanka. He stayed forward. Then Dequatch was in there as well. And the header's into the back of the net. And it's Congolo. Who has halved the deficit for Huddersfield. The Dutch won with its first goal of the season. It looked a bit tame. It just looped towards the corner of the goal. What we talked about the threat of the set-piece. And Huddersfield are back in the game through Terence Congolo. Well, three-had as it took. We didn't win one of them. And he's just loved it over the goalkeeper. Couldn't get near it. Well, there we go. Goals from Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser saw the Cherries win 2-1 against Huddersfield Town. You can watch extended highlights for free on AFCB TV. Chris, it wasn't plain sailing at all, was it? It certainly wasn't. Probably haven't got what they deserved in some of the big games. They've been edged out by the big guns. And then Tuesday night, Huddersfield fans will have been making that long journey back to West Yorkshire. Wondering how they hadn't won it. Or at least got something from it. But probably won it as well, to be honest with you. Fantastic start, you know. 2-0 everyone was saying. 2-0, 20 minutes, cruising. This could be 4 or 5. And anybody in the stadium, I think Huddersfield fans probably would have feared that as well, to be honest, at that point. But yeah, it just, I'm not sure what happened. The wheels got unlocked and came off after 25 minutes. And then, to be honest, half-time couldn't come quick enough. They got in at 2-1, obviously, at half-time. The goal they conceded was so disappointing. Three headers at the Huddersfield 1 in succession in the box. And then in second half, you know, it was pretty much one-way traffic, really, apart from the odd counter-attack. And to be fair, you know, defensively, they really did stand up. Asmir Begavic made some great saves. Controversial sponsors, man of the match, Steve Cook, with the greatest respect to Cookie, but I think Asmir probably deserved it. Him and Nathan Ackay, Cook and Nathan Ackay headed everything away they needed to. You know, Charlie and Simon Francis, they all had to stand up physically after what had been a lot of ball-chasing at Manchester City just a few days earlier, don't forget. So, again, two games, they didn't have a lot of possession, but a different way to win. I think that's what pleased the manager. And thankfully, the points column ticked round from 20 because it felt like it had been on 20 for a long time. And as you said, two early goals there. It did look like it could be quite straightforward. Yeah, and the nature of the goals as well, you know, two fantastic goals. Callum, almost like he did last year against Huddersfield, caught them flat, great header, nicely work set piece. And then, obviously, the way man as we've seen him do so many times, you know, bombing on and joining the attack at the last minute, great finish from him as well. So those two, again, proving not just scoring, but assisting as well. You know, Callum's right up there now. He's in double figures for the season, if you include his goal for England, which is, you know, it's his best scoring season since his first season at the club already and we're only in December. So from his point of view, he's continuing to catch the eye. You need somebody contributing the goals. And the women, like, yeah, I think I said on last week's show, I just thought it might be to the stage where the women might be getting, like, he needs a rest possibly, not in the way he's been performing, but just because he's played every game. He's played for Scotland. He really, in the way he plays, energetic, up and down. But to be fair, he showed anything but a rest on Tuesday. He was still flying. So, yeah, it was a great start and just a shame. They couldn't go on and make more of it to make the game a bit easier in the end. And for Ryan Fraser, it's seven assists this season now. That's more than any other Premier League player, so it's quite something. Yeah, he's passed Hazard. He's passed all the others who, you know, the ones you'd expect to be up there. And different types of assists as well. You know, set pieces, of course, corners and free kicks. You know, he knocked the free kick in for Callum's goal. But also we see assists in an open play as well. So both sides of the pitch as well. He's popping up. He's proved himself two-footed, left-footed goal the other day. So I think that's the great thing for him. He's now so versatile. He's not just, although he predominantly plays on the left, he pops up all over the place. Both sides of the pitch. And that's why he's able, I think, to contribute as many assists as he does. And another positive, as Eddie said, in his pre-match press conference today, is that they obviously got the three points, not playing too well. Yeah, and I think, you know, they probably deserve something, as we've said, from Arsenal, certainly deserve something against Manchester United. You know, City was a different kettle of fish up there, but so yeah, sometimes you don't get what you deserve. Huddersfield will be feeling that now. They'll be feeling like Bournemouth have done a couple of times this season. So it's nice to be able to win uglier in the nicest possible sense. And that will stand them in good stead for other games this season. I wouldn't imagine they'll be ugly or, you know, be able to play ugly against Liverpool. That will be a different kind of game on Saturday. But certainly in terms of the sort of CV of the season, it's a nice thing to add to it, absolutely. And a word on Aaron Moy as well. Did you think it was a second yellow when he made that foul in the second half? Yes, I did. It was right in front of us, just down in front of our commentary position, actually. The TV angle actually didn't make it look as convincing from the camera on the other side of the ground to what we were looking at in real time from the main stand. But I just... Charlie Daniels was booked for something very similar just afterwards or just before. So, yeah, I thought Moy has just lost his head for a couple of minutes when chasing up to the referee for his first yellow. And then that was a silly tackle to put yourself, you know, to give the referee an option of potentially sending you off. You've got a long lecture. Personally, I think Eddie agreed. I thought he should have gone. And one of the biggest pieces of news coming out of the game is, of course, Lewis Cook. It's a massive blow to lose him, isn't it? Yeah, a huge blow. And first of all, amazing that you finished the game. How did you finish the game with a ruptured ACL? It's amazing. You know, the steel of the lad. Eddie said he... Lewis said he felt a numbness in his knee so, sort of, you know, he didn't quite know what was wrong. But, yeah, devastating news for him. You know, six to nine months. It's a huge... I mean, it's the rest of the season. The key now for him is to get back preseason. And I think he's got so many people, as have been said a couple of times already, so many people around the jest of him who he can call on for advice and to lean on. And just that bit of spirit. People like Callum, obviously, Tyrone Ming's, Junior Stanislaus has had quite a few injuries. You know, people like that who've been through this and know the hard road back. He's obviously got Adam Smith in the treatment room with him, at least for the next couple of months as well. So, yeah, there's a lot of people around who can help him. But, yeah, for someone of his age as well who's still trying to make his mark in the Premier League, still trying to absolutely establish himself in this Bournemouth team because, you know, he has been a regular, but he has lost his place a couple of times. So, yeah, just... And for England under 21s as well, you know, he's the captain of that team. So, a huge part of their season next year as well. So, for him, yeah, really, really bad news. Just shows you how, you know, what a fine-line footballer's tread because it was an innocuous collision, really. Stuberia, the Huddersfield guy that Lewis Cook actually fouled in getting that injury out for eight weeks with a dislocated shoulder from that incident as well. So, that was a bad few seconds. And, of course, Lewis Cook, as you said, he's going to be around the likes of Callum, Wilson, Adam Smith. They can be a real big influence on him, can't they? An injury in his first season, didn't he, here, where he was out for a little bit of a shorter spell. But I think, you know, he does seem to be the sort of character who will deal with it well. Again, the manager's spoken of what a great mentality he has. So, fingers crossed, he'll apply the same mentality that he does on the training ground with his preparation for games to his rehab. These days, the rehab is right up there with the best. You know, they'll be probably flying him off somewhere to have the very best medical treatment, which is what players haven't always been able to have. So, yeah, there's no doubt he'll hopefully come back a stronger player than the one that he's just left us. And you mentioned earlier, it's such unfortunate timing. At the start of the season, he wasn't quite getting in the team, but all of a sudden, in December, he's made 15 appearances in all competitions. Yeah, and him and Jefferson, I mean, it's a shame in a way that he sort of ended on a game where it didn't quite go their way. I mean, him and Jefferson, they did get a dominator a little bit on Tuesday night by the Huddersfield central midfield. So, from that point of view, at least they won the game. At least he hasn't gone off on a sort of a real downer. But yeah, he almost feel bad speaking ill with him in terms of, like, he's just had a long-term injury. But he probably hasn't been as consistent this year as he would like to have been. From that point of view, you know, we've seen Dan Gosling come in a couple of times. Obviously Andrew Sermon started the season. So, I think he probably would have wanted to be a bit more consistent. But again, you have to remember how young he is. I keep thinking the same with Nathan Acke, remembering how young he is. Occasionally, he'll have a game where he's not quite on it. But he is young. They're 21, 22, these guys. So, from that point of view, yeah, I think, you know, now's a time for him to get fit for next season and attack it. And he's obviously got designs of trying to get back into the England set up, the full set up as well. He's had a little flirtation with it. That's going to be his aim to get back in there alongside Callum Wilson. And in terms of the injury, where does it leave Bournemouth in terms of their midfield options? Obviously, Dan Gosling's injured. Jess and Lama was playing with tape as well. Hmm. Central Midfield's looking a bit thin, to say the least at the moment. Eddie likes to have two players for every position. So, he's had four Central Midfielders, obviously, for the season. As you say, Jefferson was playing with a bit of tape on his knee on Tuesday. And obviously, he had that hamstring issue at the Castle. Dan Gosling, obviously, is out at the moment with the knee problem. As you say, Lewis is now out for a while. So, Andrew Sermon is going to be almost flying the flag himself soon. But no, certainly it'll be a concern when you've got, you're having to now put square pegs in round holes. The manager at his press conference has spoken of people like Junius Danislas, David Brooks. I asked him whether he'd be happy to disrupt the defensive side of things and put Nathan Ackay in there. Because Nathan Ackay said before, he had designs of being a Central Midfielder. And he said if it's the best thing for the team, then no problem to put him in there. When you've got someone like Tyrone Mings, that is a perfect replacement for Nathan in the back four. But when someone's as strong as Nathan Ackay is in the defensive setup, whether you want to disrupt that, I'm not sure. That time remains to be seen on that one. But yeah, in terms of January, obviously, will be a time when presumably Eddie will be trying to dip into the market. But it's not his favorite window. He doesn't like January because he thinks that he's full of off and panic signings. Players that aren't playing for other clubs might not be sharp. If they're available in January, it's usually for a reason that they're not in form or whatever. So yeah, it's not an ideal time to be having to bring in cover. Particularly when you're a top seven Premier League team, because a lot of the teams that are in and around you in the league aren't necessarily going to want to give you their players. So it remains to be seen what happens in January. But I think he'll have to look to bolster options. Obviously youngsters like Namdy Offa-Bora and Kyle Taylor and people, they're a bit away yet. We might see them featuring on the bench, but I don't think we can consider them as coming into the team. And obviously last January, Eddie didn't make any signings. But this year, do you think it could be different and he could dip into the market? He might have to. He might have to. He does like to keep the squad relatively trimmed because as he says, it's a difficult job keeping professionals happy when they're not playing. And there's only so many you can keep happy. So I think he's got 22 senior pros. It's the number that he calls it anyway. So from that point of view, he doesn't add numbers for the sake of it. But again, it depends on Dan Gosling. How long he is going to be out for. You know, he might come back into the equation before the new year. Who knows? But it's an area he'll certainly have to look at, yeah. Absolutely. Well, next up for the Cherries is tomorrow's game against Liverpool. Let's look back at one of the fondest games here at Vitality Stadium against Jaggen Kloppside. That's a lovely ball. Through it goes. Borish was hesitant. Sadio Mane wasn't. And Liverpool break the deadlock. 20 minutes in. Liverpool ahead. You have to say, Jaggen Kloppside have been on top in this one. Arta loses possession. And here comes Liverpool again. Snipped into the par for Uriqi. What's Boric doing? Uriqi's around him. And that's a lovely finish as well. Arta Boric all at C. Francis. Going to the channel. Margaret hasn't really dealt with it. This is Fraser. Down he goes. And the referee points to the spot this time for Bournemouth. And James Milner knows he's made a big mistake there. Callum Wilson from the spot. Stores and Bournemouth are back in this one. Chan wants it on the edge of the box. Chan gets it. And Chan blasts it home. A splendid third for Liverpool. Fraser. Lovely pass into the par for Callum Wilson. Knocks it back across. Bobay missed it. Comes back for Fraser. And he scores. What an impact he's had off the bench. We won form of the penalty. And he's now got them back to within one goal of Jaggen Kloppside. He started it with that lovely pass inside of Lovren. And from there, Liverpool never really recovered. Questions perhaps of Karius in the Reds' goal as well. And Gouche will be former Liverpool man Ipe. Here's Jordan Ipe. Lovren gets his head on it, but it drops back down for Gouche. Fraser on the overlap. It's a decent ball in. And it's drawn it home. Bournemouth level. It's Steve Cook. Liverpool's lead has evaporated. And with around 10 minutes to play, Steve Cook pulls Bournemouth level with his second goal of the season. Well, Liverpool scored two and two minutes earlier. Bournemouth with two and three here. And then throw in from Cook, away by Lucas. Ipe will pick up the pieces. Back it goes to Cook. Got a space to deliver. It goes for goal instead. Carrier spills it. And surely it's going in. It's a sensational turn around on the South Coast. And it's Nathan Ake. Four, three Bournemouth. Ake's second of the season. He scored the winner at Stoke City as well. Has he got the winner this afternoon? Had the vitality. Ipe did really well here to draw two Liverpool men into the ball. Created the space for Cook. It's a fine shot, but Carrier's again. There's got to be some blame applied to the Liverpool keeper. He's got to gather that in. And Ake reacts it. Bournemouth here. Turned this one around. Well, what a day that was. Nathan Ake with the last minute winner there. Chris, very fond memories of that one. Great memories of that day. It's one that I don't think anyone will get bored of thinking about or watching or listening back to. It's still the most amazing game I've ever commented on in terms of the turn around at the end and just the unlikeliness of it all. Nathan Ake, I'm not sure he'll probably might score a more important goal in his career, but in terms of a more dramatic goal he probably won't. Yeah, just an absolutely brilliant day. But both teams have come a long way since then. That was two seasons ago. It's obviously Bournemouth's solitary win over Liverpool. So very much would like to add to another win in that column. Liverpool, I think, are a far better team now than they were two seasons ago, as are Bournemouth. So it should be a great game here tomorrow between two teams who... Liverpool had to work pretty hard to beat Burnley in midweek. They made a lot of changes. But yeah, they're right on City's coattails. And I think if City weren't so impressive Liverpool would be the ones that everyone's talking about. But actually, they've probably gone a little bit to a certain extent because City are the ones everyone's talking about. Well, you mentioned that Burnley game. Burnley obviously took a lead 1-0. Do you think Bournemouth can take any confidence from that going into tomorrow's game? It was a much changed Liverpool team. I think they made seven changes in midweek. Left out, you know, quite a few of their stars, Salah and Firmino, for example, came on off the bench late on to impact that game. I noticed in the last couple of away games they haven't scored till over an hour into the game. Away at Watford they didn't score till, I think, the 67th minute, and they took up an hour again to score at Burnley in midweek. So away from home, it seems like teams are able to repel them, you know, whether that's, you know, parking the bus at home. I haven't watched the two games that I'm talking about, so I'm not sure how it went. But I think Bournemouth have got to start fast. It's an obvious thing to say. They did hear on Tuesday night and started fast, got the start they needed, and then it all went a bit beat-tong after that, but still won. So I think Liverpool have got so much ability. You know, you look at the players that can't even get in their team. Salah's been playing down the middle this year, which is a slightly different role to him than he's played in the past where he's been out wide. But last season, there were two pretty comfortable wins for Liverpool, three-lil and four-nil. So certainly Bournemouth need to be, and will want to be a lot more competitive than that. And one thing that Liverpool have improved this season is they've obviously tightened up defensively as well. Yeah, obviously Virgil van Dijkert, you know, has added a lot to their defensive setup as well. But even people like Andrew Robertson, you know, he wouldn't be the most fashionable defender, and I know he's a bit of an injured out at the moment for this weekend. But, you know, someone like him, a Scottish international, he's been a really impressive signing for them from Hull, he's obviously an international teammate of the We-Man as well. But yeah, they've sported for choice. Trent Alexander-Arnold, you know, what a player he's become already, and he's still only very young. So who partners van Dijkert will be the question, I think, because Gomez obviously is out injured now. He's been playing centre half. They've played Matty, but centre half in midweek. Lovren's not been getting a look-in really. So again, they've got three or four players we've named there who can't even get in the team. So they've got a choice to make in terms of who comes in to play alongside van Dijk. But one thing they'll know is that they'll be in a game with Callum Wilson. And talking of choices to make. Obviously last time Bournemouth played one of the big teams, they changed formation up at Man City. Do you think that will be the case again tomorrow? It's a possibility they could play three at the back tomorrow. At home, they don't tend to see Eddie do it as much at home. I think it's a possibility. Tyrone obviously, you know, as we said before, was a bit unlucky to be left out on Tuesday, but that was because of the shape. We've said, you know, he won't get in at the moment as a second centre half, or as one of the two centre halves. But if they opt to go with the three, four, three at home, as I think they have done against a big gun here before, then he will come back in, I'm sure. Maybe it'll be a very similar setup to Man City, possibly with a similar personnel as well. But yeah, it's hard to know whether you go on the offensive. They need to go on the offensive here, really. But I think Liverpool's threat at home, we saw how they dealt with Man United and how they dealt with Arsenal, gave them problems. So just winning the key moments, again, repeating what we said the last couple of weeks, because they keep playing against big guns, and we keep repeating what they need to do, winning the key moments, you know, the little set pieces they take quickly, the little moments where you switch off at set plays. Bournemouth have been quite good at defending set plays this season, I must say. Haven't conceded from a corner this season, which is impressive. So yeah, that's the fine margins against the big teams. And in goal, Azmi Begavic can obviously take so much confidence from Tuesday night, can't he? Had a great game, really had a great game. The poachers' head on this end behind us at the north end was a great point back save, because he was going the wrong way and had to go back. Free kick saved straight afterward to save with his legs in the second half as well. And just generally being a... I can't remember the last time he dropped a ball, in terms of when the ball comes into the penalty area, and I'm touching wood as I'm saying it, finding some wood. He seems to be a commanding presence and that gives the centre halves a lot of confidence as well. So yeah, he's... At the minute, he seems to be, you know, a great last line of defence when called upon. Because he had quite a quiet start to the season. He wasn't really being tested that much in terms of shots. So this time, it's nice to see that when he has been tested, he's certainly up to the task. And in terms of our team news, we've obviously talked about central midfield, but apart from that, we're looking OK, aren't we? Yeah, looks all right. No one's picked up any problems from Tuesday. What I will say is that I think the players were absolutely out on their feet after Tuesday night, having had not much of the ball at Man City. And then a few days later, no one expected them to have as little of the ball as they did against Huddersfield, but I mean, Nathan Acke, I spoke to him after the game. He's having to lean on the wall, I think. And Simon Francis had about a two-hour massage, I think, after the game. So physically, I think they were tested. They'll have been recuperating this week. They'll have been training pretty light, I would have thought, the last couple of days. I think a few of them were in the sea yesterday. I saw a social media post of a few of them that I think played were helping their recovery by dipping their legs in the sea down on the Boston sea front. So yeah, that's obviously the Eddie's magic formula. Go and get some salt water on the legs. And then they'll have to play night. And obviously with tomorrow's game being an early kickoff as well, it doesn't give them much time, does it? Not a whole lot of time. And they've got a very big Champions League game on Tuesday against Napoli, where they've got a win to have a chance of going through. So again, in terms of what Klopp does with this team, he rotated seven at Burnley. I think they'll be a bit stronger for this game, but maybe they might not all play. Because in saying that, if they drop any points in the Premier League now, they're pretty much one or two games to see the big guns playing. But he's certainly got to manage it. You know, I think Eddie Howe's trying to manage a team while he hasn't got a Champions League game on Tuesday night, thankfully. So yeah, it'll be very interesting to see which way they go, and Salah, Firmino, all of those, if they end up playing. They played a Regan storage, which is not a bad reserve strike force on Tuesday night. Well, that's certainly going to be a very exciting game. That's all we've got time for today. Join us next week as we'll be looking back over tomorrow's game as well as previewing
