Howe: Luck not always on our side but effort is there

Saturday, November 28 2015 by SNTV
  • Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe looks ahead to Saturday's visit of Everton to Dean Court (27th November) in the English Premier League.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Howe, Bournemouth coach: (on how he cannot criticise his players for their effort, but the team needs a bit of luck):

    "The effort's there. I've always complimented my players in terms of their work ethic, their professionalism, their desire, motivation levels. I think we hit top marks on all those points. I think maybe where we've fallen down this season, there's been a couple of incidents where luck has definitely played a part and we've been on the wrong side of that for the majority of the season. A few decisions have gone against us. All these things play big parts in games and at times we've made individual mistakes that have cost us, but certainly while the work rate and the effort is as high as it is at the moment and we continue to improve on that, I don't see this team doing anything other than improving and getting better as the season progresses."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Howe, Bournemouth coach: (on Everton, their style of play and whether the fans can expect an entertaining game):

    "When you watch Everton play, which we have, I'm very impressed by their style of football. There's no surprise under Roberto Martinez. The jobs that he's done at Swansea and Wigan and the way he's stuck to his football plan, now developing that at Everton. They are an enjoyable team to watch, so full credit to him and his players for the way they are evolving their season. For us, I'd like to think we are on an upward curve, especially in terms of performances and it should be an exciting game."
