I think they've won one drawn full.

So to get seven points out of 15 when you're dominating the ball,

I think against Burnley they have 17 shots and have one on target off the top of their heads.

So it'd be interesting to speak to Iriola and say, is that because you have the 9 and 10 there aren't Florian Werth and Alexander Izak as an example?

Is that because you lose Semenya?

Is that because those games are just so difficult and you are lacking that execution?

Is there maybe something you've learned from that that you would do something different tactically?

Or is he saying it's only a sample of five games?

Yep.

If that was 50, it would have reverted to mean.

I mean, the XG against West Ham is absolutely off the charts.

I think they get 3.66 against something like 1.66.

They should win that game with ease, ends 2-2.

the numbers are in his favour that maybe they should have got better results in them.

But I find it very interesting that a lot, Evan Nielsen on Stats Bond, if you ever look at the past networks we put up, you'll quite often see Evan Nielsen in blue, which basically just means he's not involved that much.

Most of what Bournemouth have been doing.

So much of this has been triangles and combinations out wide and something you alluded to in part one of this show, if you haven't watched it please go and have a look, when Iriola's being interviewed by Peter McDowell he talks about and he did a similar interview with Miguel Delaney where he says I understand we have to be organised, I understand we need patterns of play.

But it can't be the only thing that we do.

There are times when the player has to see either there's nothing else on or there's an opportunity for me to be direct and to go 1v1.

And he may feel that at Liverpool he'll have more of them difference makers 1v1 than perhaps he had available at Bournemouth.
