Aston Villa 4-0 Bournemouth: What Iraola said
- Published
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaking to BBC MOTD after their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa: "Everything has gone wrong from the beginning, we had the clash and had to make the change. But it's not a reason to lose. I am worried about the first half. We were poor defensively, it's a warning from the league. We've had two difficult away games but we have not been at our level.
"Three goals from set plays. The first is an amazing goal from Emi Buendia. Three goals from set pieces is too much but it's not just this, we have to focus on the things we can do. We were pushing them a lot in the second half, more like us, but this first 45 minutes worry me a bit.
"We hit the post, had the penalty, clear chances to score at 2-1 and make the end of the game more nervous for them. But we didn't take them, you have to punish them and we didn't."
On Adam Smith: "It was a very hard knock, he was bleeding and I don't know if he lost consciousness but he was not feeling well enough to continue. I feel more calm now because I talked to him and he's fine, he remembers everything. In the moment it was a hard knock and I hope it's not something more serious."
