From the BBC commentary:
Dominic Solanke has been on the pitch for 80-odd minutes now and I don't think I've written his name once. He's had one touch in the Watford penalty area.
and fell over the ball

Probably because of the job he’s done taking a club like Bournemouth to and staying in the EPL?
I think both parties need a change now though.
Always remember thinking their fans should be careful what they wish for! Other than a short stint at West Ham about 10 years ago i cant remember Curbishley having another job?Reminds me ,when Alan curbishley was manager of Charlton, he took them from 3rd tier to mid table epl ,,after a few years Charlton supporters thought he had taken as far as he could, so he walked and they went back to division 2
He’s a great manager , was being tipped for England and arsenal upto recently , they are having a shocking season , but the job he has done there has been outstanding, people have very short memories.2-0 down at home to Watford. No idea how his reputation is so high down South?
Looks like I’m on my own on this one then.
Nothing screams deserves a bigger club like having your club in the relegation places
You mean Bournemouth aren’t big spending premier league regulars entitled to a mid table finish?
He’s done an excellent job with them. Remember when Jurgen Klopp ended up with a relegation scare at Dortmund?
They finished 9th and then 12th just in the last couple seasons , hardly skin of their teeth. An embarrassing thread tbh.Spent £224,000,000 on transfers in 4 years to do nothing better than barely avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth year-on-year.
Nigel Pearson on the other hand, doing a great job so far
A definite case of them out growing each other.
In the Premier League they've finished 16th, 9th, 12th, 14th and are currently sitting 19th at the moment. Despite having a good core squad with players like Ake, Wilson, Brooks, Fraser and King they haven't been able to make progress outside of 1 season. That's completely on the manager, calling him the biggest fraud in football is too far but it's clear that he's barely a pl level manager if at allThey finished 9th and then 12th just in the last couple seasons , hardly skin of their teeth.

You are clueless2-0 down at home to Watford. No idea how his reputation is so high down South?
Sums up the EPL, disgusting amount of moneySpent £224,000,000 on transfers in 4 years to do nothing better than barely avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth year-on-year.
I would take him when gerrard leaves.
That's has been there biggest problem Jordan ibe and dominic solanke just haven't worked out. It's a case of it all going stale there hes been there too long nowThink his big money signings have mostly all flopped
Those core players you mentioned , Ake fair enough , however...In the Premier League they've finished 16th, 9th, 12th, 14th and are currently sitting 19th at the moment.

Shows the absurdity of the EPL .Spent £224,000,000 on transfers in 4 years to do nothing better than barely avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth year-on-year.
They take in about 5 million in gate money and over 120 million in TV money. That's why they can spend so much.Is this an accurate sum?
Incredible if true
Just like every other premier league club then?Spent £224,000,000 on transfers in 4 years to do nothing better than barely avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth year-on-year.

He took Bournemouth from languishing in League 2 to the Premier League.
I’d say that’s why his reputation is so high.
I think Guardiola’s medals show that he clearly isn’t a fraud . I think someone like Marco Silva could be described as a fraudThe frauds are the Guardiola's of this world. Go round all the biggest clubs with the best players and open chequebooks. Would love to see Pearson and Howe and Klopp and Guardiola swap roles. Then assess after a season or two who's committing fraud. Would love to see Guardiola who has more money than him and his offspring will ever need to take a Burnley on, and show his management skills!

To be fair,Nigel Pearson is not a bad coach and they've been in good form since he came in and he'll take a lot of scalps.OP is a mentallist. The job Howe has done at Bournemouth is bordering on miraculous. He should have had a bigger job by now
He's done remarkably well with a football club about the size of Pollok Juniors mate, but sometimes things become stale and you can do no more.
Possibly best for both parties if they parted ways now.
He'll be very high in demand if he does leave.
