Eddie Howe has been talking to the media following yesterday’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, issuing some “excellent news” on Alexander Isak’s harm and his evaluation of our frankly terrible attacking show.
Beginning with Isak, who was compelled off early on with a knock, Howe has confirmed that it’s a “contact harm” not a muscle situation, that means the Swede is prone to get better shortly as we hope to have him match for Wednesday’s conflict with Liverpool.
On Isak’s harm, Howe stated: “It was a contact harm, not a muscle pull, which is nice information for us. We hope he’ll get better shortly however at this second I don’t know.”
Requested about our efficiency, which featured simply ONE shot all afternoon and 0 on the right track, Howe admitted that we glance “low on confidence” and “missing in leading edge up entrance”, however insisted that we did effectively within the “first two thirds” of the pitch.
“We glance a bit low on confidence and shedding Alex was an enormous blow to that,” Howe stated. “Then once more we have been and not using a recognised striker so it was necessary that Anthony did effectively. The group carried out effectively within the first two thirds and I believed it was a powerful efficiency, solely missing leading edge up entrance.
“It was a wierd efficiency from us with the ball as a result of I believed there was lots of good within the first two thirds however nothing within the closing third. Loads of set performs however we glance slightly bit low on confidence.
“We’re at all times asking the gamers to shoot, there isn’t a ban on taking pictures! We’re simply going by way of a part in the intervening time the place we’re struggling, however I feel we’ll come out of that.”
