Andoni Iraola spoke to TNT Sports after Bournemouth's defeat against Brighton: "I'm quite pleased with the performance but Brighton were much better with scoring and Danny Welbeck had a great finish. We had clear chances, didn't score and they made us pay.
"All the second half we had been better, but didn't score the second goal and we have to blame ourselves for how we defended their second goal - it's a play we should've defended better.
"You [the media] are the ones talking about standings, we never talk about the standings. We thought we played good enough to get the points but we were not as good as Brighton in the boxes and they were much better at getting goals."

Loss of 'key cog' Zabarnyi will force Iraola to juggle againpublished at 12:26 25 February

Bournemouth's defeat by Wolves on Saturday was their first against a side outside the top four since November when, ironically, the opponents were Brighton, a team who they face next in Premier League.
The Cherries' life was made all the more difficult when Illia Zabarnyi was sent off in the first half, a dismissal that seemed to help the away side's gameplan. With James Hill having to drop into centre-back and Lewis Cook retreating in a right-back role, it felt like a familiar tale of adapting from a side that allowed us to play our A game.
Despite the rejigging, with Matheus Cunha notching for Vitor Pereira's men five minutes later, there was always the feeling that it would be an uphill struggle for Andoni Iraola's side, not least because of Wolves' canny way of breaking up play and stopping teams from playing the football they want to.
It feels quite a significant moment in the season to lose such a key cog in Bournemouth's defence. Assuming it is not overturned on appeal, there will be some juggling to do once more.
The good news is that Andoni has a habit of forging out results when least expected, and while Brighton are going to be a significant test, fans are expecting a reaction after a sub-par performance against Wolves.
With Evanilson being a surprise inclusion on the bench at the weekend, the hope is that his return can spark the potency up top that was missing, and then maybe we can give Brighton as much concern as they will inevitably give us.

With a couple of wins, Brighton have put themselves back in a position where they have got a real chance of making the top five - so this game is massive for both teams.
Bournemouth had Illia Zabarnyi sent off early on in Saturday's defeat by Wolves, and that really disrupted them. They need to find their feet again quickly, because I don't think anyone saw that result coming.
I am pretty sure the readers will go for a 1-1 draw here and, although I'd like to pick a winner, I also think it will end up honours even.
Iraola on Zabarnyi appeal, Evanilson and corner routine comparisonpublished at 13:53 24 February

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game at Brighton (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Iraola was tight-lipped when it came to team news and gave no indication as to whether there were any fresh injury concerns within the squad.
He said the appeal over the red card Illia Zabarnyi received in the defeat by Wolves will be decided later on Monday, but for now he is unsure on his availability.
On Evanilson's fitness: "The problem with Evanilson is that he hasn't trained. He has recovered from the injury but when you have a bone injury, you have to wait until it heals. He has lost a lot of training and it's more about the shape he is in right now than the proper injury."
On the forward's availability for Brighton, he added: "I think he could start but the problem could be how long he could last because he lacks the training days. The process you get with other injuries is normally more smooth."
Iraola said the team are "still very far" from the fight for European football and the team need to do "a lot of things well" if they want to be up there when it matters.
He laughed off comparisons between his side's corner routine earlier in the season against Arsenal and how it was similar to Liverpool's opening goal in their 2-0 win at Manchester City on Sunday, stating he did not invent it and "doesn't take any responsibility" for it.
Charl: Why were Tyler Adams and David Brooks not playing? You can't take away our best midfielder and our most creative player and expect the same results. Dango Quattara and Marcus Tavernier need to up their game before being picked ahead of proven winners. The sending off for Illia Zabarnyi was unfortunate - we will miss him massively. His presence shapes the whole team.
Matthew: Yet another game ruined as a spectacle by inept oversight. Play-acting and time-wasting are the real issues here. Created too few chances after going down to 10 men, with poor on-field decisions preventing us testing the keeper enough. We move on. Maybe revenge will be served within seven days.
Don: The red card was pivotal in this contest. Got to accept the decision, albeit from VAR and I felt that Joao Gomes should also have gone off. A second yellow was deserved for a ridiculous simulation of facial injury to try and get a yellow for Cook. I suppose VAR is not allowed to interfere in this case, defying logic in some way.
Geoff: We were below par but on another day the result would have been reversed. Wolves constantly wasted time and the sending off of the Bournemouth player was unjust - a yellow card yes, but the Wolves players influenced an indecisive ref. If Wolves continue to play in this way, they will get what they deserve!
Wolves fans
Jen: Full of heart and at times backs to the wall, even against 10 men! Massive result, but more than that is its obvious that the players want to play for the shirt. Well done Vitor Pereira.
Rob: Another solid defensive performance and looked good going forward. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was excellent again and with a player like Matheus Cunha, we have every chance of staying in the Premier League.
Mike: An excellent away win, albeit against 10 men with a well-taken goal by Cunha and not allowing Bournemouth any clear chances. We had opportunities to finish this game off but again we spurned them. This could be a significant weekend in the relegation battle with a little gap now appearing over the bottom three.
Martin: Such an important victory. There is a real identity starting to emerge with this group. Andre is a definite contender for second place in the player of the season category.
Game's defining moment 'will sit uncomfortably with some'published at 08:20 24 February

This was a game defined by a very modern red card.
Unlikely to have been given as a foul 30 years ago, Illia Zabarnyi's challenge on Rayan Ait-Nouri was deemed a yellow card by referee Mike Salisbury, but he was sent to the monitor by the VAR and upgraded it to a red.
It will sit uncomfortably with some of those who have been watching the game for decades, but winning the ball no longer protects players from being sent off.
Opinions will certainly be divided on whether the challenge deserved a straight red, but it almost certainly will not be rescinded in the unlikely event of a Bournemouth appeal.
It proved the defining moment in the game, and it could prove a decisive moment for Wolves, Ipswich and Leicester in the relegation battle, and in Bournemouth's bid for a top-four finish.

This represented a missed opportunity for Bournemouth to boost their Champions League prospects against opponents who had collected just one win in their previous six league games.
And while the Cherries were understandably hindered by the dismissal of Illia Zabarnyi in the 31st minute there was still a sense of being underwhelmed by a performance that delivered just a single second-half shot against a Wolves side battling for their Premier League survival.
There were moments, particularly late on, where with greater composure in the final third they may have been able to test visiting goalkeeper Jose Sa.
There could be no doubting their effort or commitment.
Andoni Iraola's side restricted Wolves to very few genuine chances but simply found their attempts to press high up the pitch severely restricted.
They will now have to recover quickly for their trip along the south coast to face a rejuvenated Brighton team on Tuesday.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I think the game is very affected by the red card. I analysed my team and I was very happy before it. We have been in the game but they punished us in the minutes after the red card where we have not probably established ourselves.
"From there we competed really well. It was difficult playing with 10 players for most of the game but the players have done a very good job. I am very proud of the performance of my players.
"The only observation I would make is if the referee sees it and says, 'red card' okay, but I have seen different angles. From one angle I don't think it is but from another it does look like a red card, he tries to win the ball and slips over the ball and it is a dangerous fall...but clear and obvious? I don't know.
"[Illia] Zabarnyi will now miss games, a player that has gone very clearly for the ball and touched it and is unlucky slipping. I don't understand it. When I watched the replay with it in slow motion I thought, we were done."

Sutton's predictions: Bournemouth v Wolvespublished at 11:22 22 February
11:22 22 February
Wolves ran Liverpool close at Anfield last weekend and Matheus Cunha showed his quality with his wonderful goal that gave them hope in that game.
That performance should give Vitor Pereira's struggling side real belief and I am expecting them to put up a fight here too, but I just can't back against Bournemouth.
The way the Cherries attack, with the amount of shots they get on target, makes them hard to stop and I can't see anything other than a home win.
Andoni Iraola's side are right in the mix for the Champions League places now, and that race is very interesting.
Liverpool and Arsenal will finish first or second but, after that, there are a few teams in with a chance, especially because fifth place could be enough this season.
I'm going for Manchester City to finish in my top five, along with Nottingham Forest. On current form, Bournemouth will make it too, which would be an incredible achievement.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolves (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On whether any injured players are ready to come back: "We still have today's training, I think we will recover Julio [Soler]. He arrived at night yesterday and he is an option."
He added: "Also, Hilly [James Hill] has been training with us this week and we will see if he makes the squad. If not, it is also good news because he will make the squad for the next games that we have. Next week we have three games. It's good that we slowly, slowly start recovering more players."
On facing Wolves: "It's a difficult game, I think they are playing very well. They've had a very difficult schedule. They have always been competitive and tomorrow I expect a difficult game. They have very good individuals, they have been very solid defensively and they are not conceding a lot. It will be demanding for us."
Iraola was asked to reflect on how good his side have been this season: "For me, you analyse or evaluate at the end of the season. We are doing well, it's true, this season we are playing well quite consistently but we will see where we finish at the end. It is good to be in a good moment, in a good position right now but they don't give you anything in March. It is at the end of the season when you can achieve or you can see how we have done. We will see where we are then, not now."
On his side potentially going to into the top four tomorrow, depending on other results: "For me, we are on 43 points. We have the chance to add one more point tomorrow or three more points. that's what we will try [to do] tomorrow and that's it."
Iraola added: "The position [we are in now] is nice, it's good to be there with big teams but we need many more points if we want to fight for something at the end of the season. We want to continue adding points and see where the table puts us at the end. We will not change our approach."
Andoni Iraola would be Tottenham's preferred candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou, should the Australian manager leave the club. (Talksport), external
Bournemouth v Wolves: Did you know?published at 11:42 20 February

Bournemouth have won three of their past four Premier League games against Wolves, though all three have come away from home.
However, Wanderers are unbeaten in all four of their Premier League away games against the Cherries, with two draws and two wins - their most away games against an opponent without losing in the top flight.
'Context of Bournemouth's form is remarkable'published at 17:28 19 February

With 13 games left of the Premier League season, Bournemouth have every right to feel delighted about the first two-thirds of the campaign.
Having never made it this far into a top-flight season with anything approaching a positive goal difference, the Cherries are already only five short of equalling last term's record points tally and the fans are dreaming about Europe - even if the club will not publicly engage in such talk.
What is more remarkable is the context in which this run of form has been achieved.
Hearing Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou's weekend gripes about "players out of position and kids on the bench", Cherries supporters could be forgiven for pointing to their past month spent without a fit right-back or central striker, and a host of untried development squad players filling out the substitutes' bench.
The injury situation seems to be slightly easing, with Marcus Tavernier back for some important cameos off the bench (plus a start in the FA Cup), while Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra - both sidelined since the win over Arsenal in mid-October - made comebacks as substitutes in Saturday's win at St Mary's.
Scott's return could be particularly welcome as Ryan Christie has been walking a disciplinary tightrope for two games since picking up his ninth yellow card of the season against Liverpool.
The 'cut-off' for suspensions for 10 cautions is not until after teams have completed 32 league games - mid-April - so it may be unrealistic to expect Christie's all-action midfield style not to earn him a yellow card before then. In which case, with Lewis Cook still deputising as a makeshift right-back, Scott could be the man to step in.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert, who both served one-match bans earlier in the season for accumulating five bookings, are now on six, as is Cook, with Dean Huijsen (now appearing almost daily in the BBC transfer gossip column) on five.
