Bournemouth Vs Aston Villa- English Premier League Match Preview
Bournemouth scored 98 goals on their way to winning the Championship last season, but can Eddie Howe keep them afloat without compromising their style in the Premier League?
Blackpool, upon their promotion to the Premier League in 2010, refused to compromise their game despite the intimidating company of the Premier League.
“As exciting as it is at this stage, you have to sort of check yourself and realise that you have a job to do”, O’Kane told the “Journal”.
Bournemouth had more shots (573) and shots on target (268) than any other Championship side last season.
We now move into the quick-fire section of the quiz, which features some gems…
“As a group here at Bournemouth we’ve gone through so much in the last three years, we’ve gone from the bottom of League One to here, it’s an incredible story and we’re all really excited about being in the Premier League“.

. After a disastrous second half to last season which almost saw the team relegated under John Carver following Alan Pardew’s departure, Steve McClaren has been tasked with rebuilding the squad. At the time when I was 18 I was let go for whatever reason at Everton.
“It was a needs-must, we needed to bring in and hopefully we can get them to gel”.
“Like the club, he has had to work hard to get to this point and is eager to make the most of this opportunity”. It was ideal for me and I’d like to thank everyone there, but this was a massive step and I couldn’t turn it down.
Tomlin’s arrival comes quickly after Eddie Howe’s side completed the signing of Max Gradel from Saint-Etienne.
“To veer away from that format I think would be foolish on the back of all the success we’ve had”.
Only one manager now in the Premier League has been around longer than that: Arsenal’s Arsène Wenger. We have done a lot of talking since those fantastic days for the club. He’s been there before and seen everything. This weekend, you will all claim dugout seats as Premier League managers for the first time.
Question 4: Is Manchester City’s subpar pre-season performance a reason for concern going into Game Week 1 away game to West Bromwich Albion? Sherwood’s inexperience as a manager may count against him should his side come a cropper early on. “But the reality is that you can’t get 25,000 in”.
Bournemouth have defied the odds in the past six years, starting with pulling off one of the greatest escapes from relegation in history in 2009 when they began the season with a 17point deduction.
Tommy Elphick was speaking at the launch of Vitality Stadium, AFC Bournemouth’s newly-named home ground.
In fact, they’ve built an entire Premier League side for less than £10 million, and that’s gained them more admiration than anything.
“Five years ago I was playing Conference football”.
“We’re going to be courageous and we’ll try to take the game to opposing teams”. Change at the club was needed to ensure they were looking up rather than down, they need to invest a bit more I would think to get themselves further clear of the scrap.
No big shocks here except in the order. “We’ve signed a lot of new players and lost some very important players to our team”, the 46-year-old Sherwood added.
