Bournemouth maintained his good beginning of the season with another impressive victory, this time at home against Fulham on Friday night. Then, despite some apprehension before the new campaign, is it time for cherries faithful to put the highest bar and increase their ambitions a bit?
It was understandable that many fans and media were quite sure that Andoni’s men would have difficulty reaching the top after the ninth place of last season. After all, the only remaining member of his regular defensive unit was the unconditional Adam Smith, and even he lost four of his first seven league games due to injury.
The club did well in trying to replace what he had lost, but it is fair to assume that these new additions would have needed some time to adapt and adapt to what is a very specific style of play with Iraola. However, no one had to worry, since the new boys have adapted at high speed, since Bournemouth currently occupies the third place in the Premier League table.
Many would agree that Djordje Petrovic seems an improvement with respect to its three outgoing goalkeepers so far. Similarly, Bafode Diakite has fit perfectly on the side to accompany Marcos Senesi in the heart of the defense, in addition the left side Adrien Truffert has been playing as if it were an “adult version” of the outgoing Milos Kerkez.
The cherries have always had goals, particularly because of the way the coach organizes them, but seek more difficult to break down after such huge defensive deviations? It is remarkably impressive.
It is soon, but I don’t think it is extravagant that Bournemouth fans begin to dream that the best result in their history in the highest category can be just around the corner.
