Bournemouth vs Burnley: What has been said?

Asked if he was concerned about his future, Iraola said: “I’m not. Nobody should be concerned about it all.

“I’m concerned about AFC Bournemouth winning games and I’m sure that supporters, they shouldn’t care about me. They care about their team winning games. It’s like this and it has to be like this.”

Quizzed on if he was worried by the club’s form, Iraola continued: “Especially whenever you are in the relegation spots. We have to be worried. I’m the first one to be worried. Now it’s a matter of finding ways to win.

“I think we prepared very well for this game. We were working with not all the players, but I think we had the plan more or less quite clear. But it’s not enough with the things we are doing.”
