 Hi, big man. How are you doing? You all right? How are you? Nice to see you, you care. How's life under the new manager? Six goals already. Looks like you're enjoying it. Yeah, I am. Obviously, we haven't had the best of starts, though, so that side's obviously something that we still need to work on. I feel like, especially in the last few games, we're starting to get somewhere. It's never easy having a new manager come in and adapting straight away, so we've needed that little bit of time. But I think, especially the last game, we started to see what we can do and hopefully we can build on that. I want to rewind it back because I want to learn more about you and you've represented a couple of the biggest clubs in the country in Chelsea and Liverpool, but sort of came at the wrong time for you, didn't you? You were behind some big hitters there, weren't you? Some apprenticeship. You must have picked up some amazing tips. Yeah, I think that's the main thing, really. I think I'm especially at that age. It's never going to be easy. Obviously, when I was at Chelsea, I was there from knee height. So working on the way up, getting to the first team in Chelsea, especially back then, was pretty much impossible to break into. So I had to take a different route. Obviously, I went to Liverpool and that front three were crazy. Crazy, honestly. Because it's really raining a little bit. Probably one of the best-free, front-free world footballers. Well, it's iconic, isn't it? I mean, you had a little bit of everything, didn't it? Yeah, and I did. So, yeah, but to learn from it was amazing. And yeah, like I said, it probably came a little bit too soon for me, but I'm forever thankful for my time there. I learnt so much and I obviously came here and I think I've picked it up. Yeah, I came down here. 20 million pound move. It was a club record for you at the time, one day ahead of you, how? Was that a big decision to leave Liverpool and come to Bournemouth? Yeah, I think so. But I think the most important thing to do is play. Obviously, when I was at Liverpool, I wasn't playing. Week in, week out, starting week in, week out. So that's just something I wanted to do. And I had that opportunity to come on Bournemouth and fight for that. So when we got really good to the championship, obviously, it wasn't great. But I saw it as opportunity as well. I think it was kind of like a blessing in disguise really to go down there. Now we can look back now. Yeah, say that now. But yeah, to go there and play every game and score the goals I did definitely helped me in my career. And obviously getting promoted back, especially with Bournemouth was amazing. And yeah, I think that definitely helped me to have those goals behind me. Definitely helped me when I came back to the Premier League. So we got promoted back to the Premier League. You've got six last season. You've already equaled that. You've got six this season. I mean, in those numbers, you must be really happy, especially already emulating last season's tally. Yeah, for sure. I just wanted to build on last season. I think that's why I said at the start of the season. But sort of like when I was in the Champions League, I had that first season and the second season, I kicked on a lot. I want to sort of do that again this year. Like you said, I started well, I got my tally from last year already, so that's a positive. It's going to get smashed out of the water again. Yeah, let's hope so. Yeah, still many games to go, so just keep ticking them off. So Anki's in here and touches it over the line. Things are going well at the moment. But it's not been easy, has it? You've come through a lot of adversity and criticism in your time as a professional footballer. Yeah, there's been a lot of times where you get criticised a lot, especially being a striker, because everyone judges you on goals at the end of the day. So yeah, sometimes it's been difficult, but that's part of football. You've got to sort of like block that out and keep going. I've been there, man. When you miss that chance, you've got 50,000 people calling you rubbish. But you develop like a thick skin, don't you? Was that always the way, just to keep moving, keep striving forward, regardless of the outside noise? Yeah, I think the thing with football is it changes so quickly. Honestly, it's like you go to 10 games, everyone's battering you, and then two games you score in a row, score the winner, and then everyone loves you. So I think that's sort of always in your mind. You just know, like, the next game you could score a hat-trick and then the world just changes. So I think that's important in football, never to get too down or get too high, because everything can change. That's a really good attitude to have, especially as a young man, because it took me quite a while to get to that point. But recently you signed new for your deal down here on the South Coast. You must be quite happy down here. Yeah, you could say that. No, like I said, I'm happy, probably playing my best football, getting a lot of game time. So I think that's the main thing, really, and I feel loved and appreciated here as well. And do you feel now that, obviously, a really good start to the season? Do you feel now that you've found your feet in the Premier League? Because there's a big difference, isn't there, between the Championship and the Premier League, the VAR and things, and the way, I suppose, teams are more organised. You get less chances. So it's much tougher, isn't it? Yeah, I think probably the last thing you said is the chances. Obviously, when we was in the Championship, we were one of the best teams in the league. Every game, we knew that we was going to get chances and stuff. So the Premier League, every game is tough. And obviously, probably not one of the best teams in the Premier League. So the chances come a lot fewer. So you need to take them when they come. And I think that's the most important, probably the biggest difference that you need to be on it, because, you know, you might get one chance at a game, and that's to be an end, really, to get the ball. Right, well, we've come down here for a master class. We're going to look at some of your goals, and we're just going to run through them, yeah? Right, done. We've got a few of your finishes for us to look through here first. This one's going to hurt me. I'm not going to lie. We're going to go to the Amix this season, where you get what is a fortunate goal? How it comes about? Yeah, to be fair, the position, I mean, the way it falls to me is fortunate, but I think this is the sort of stuff that we work on a lot. The manager loves us pressing hard up the pitch, and this was sort of the game plan. You can see we sort of let the keeper just have the ball go kind of man-to-man. And yeah, the opportunity came for a right to press, and I timed it perfectly, and I was just in the right place at the right time, and yeah, it was a cool finish. To the untrained eye, this looks easy, but I think, as that ball's just there, you've maybe got less than a second, and you already know what you're doing, don't you? Yeah, I think that's the main thing. You need to make that decision so fast that I'm going to shoot. It looks easy, but it's not, especially taking a touch and straight onto my weak foot to kind of lift it as well. Right, next up, we've got Newcastle against your old manager. Talking about this. Yeah, this one, to be fair, I was just on my toes. I think it's always important, especially when we're moving forward, because, you know, the defenders are not going to be running back towards their goal, so I was sort of just trying to stay on my toes, and I was a bit lucky that the tackle fell into my path, but I was the quickest to react. No, I'm not having that. It's not lucky, because you're alive, you've got to be alive. Defenders aren't lucky, they'd be standing looking at the ball, flat footed, you're on your toes, and alert, and that is what ultimately gets you the goal, isn't it? Yeah, for sure. Nice score against your manager. Not bad, not bad. Nice score against anyone, isn't it? I really like this one. You haven't got any other options with them, Wolves at home. I actually like that finishing now, I scored quite a few of those now, so yeah, I think... He must be nice to play with, Phil Billings. Yeah, we have a great connection, me and him. I think it stems back from the championship, we was always scoring or assisting each other, so yeah, I think we have a great relationship, and I work on that finish quite a lot. I like it, I feel comfortable with it, so when the ball doesn't come in straight away, and I am sort of like kind of going in front of it, and if it comes behind me then, that's the sort of finish that I'll try. And just try and use the pace that's already on the ball, redirect it. I like this goal, I like this goal a lot. Everyone expects you to hit with your left foot here, chopping, what I want to ask you about this goal, is that as you front-bend me up here, as you're cutting on your right foot, are you deliberately cutting, hitting back through his legs? Through his legs, yeah. I think that kills the keeper, because ultimately they're hoping to defend the block, so they can sort of like save their near post. So if it goes through the legs, then it's a higher chance of it going in. It's just hoping that they missed the block really, which happened here, and yeah, it was a great finish. Is this something that you practise in training? Yeah, I think obviously in training, you get chances all the time, so you always try new different finishes. Are you calling defenders here? You mean it easier? No, I'm not saying that. No, like you said, I think I'm in training, you always get in these positions, so you see what works and what doesn't work. Right, last one we've got for you, Spurs away. Delicate, I'll call it. It was a great game as well for us to come back and win. You're involved in the build-up there. What I will say is that ball falls very kindly at a beautiful pace into your path, doesn't it? Straight into my stride, yeah. So now you've got the ball coming from your left-hand side. You've also got a crazy Romero one from your right-hand side, who's going to take everything and you've got the goalkeeper. So you've got that vision, that sort of periphery to be aware that Romero's going to come in. He's going to ground, so therefore you've got to just dink it over and make it look super easy. Yeah, about staying cool in that moment. Like you said, there's so many bodies coming in, so just do that little depth dink. That is beautiful, isn't it? That was nice. Well, thank you very much, Dom, for running through this with me. It's been good fun, man. I see you. Keep up the good work, yeah? We'll do. All the best, big man. See you soon.
