Tale of two halves leaves Iraola with plenty to ponder -

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has a lot of thinking to do on his flight back to England. His team has finished their friendly games in the United States, ending with a match against Liverpool. This last game was a story of two different halves. His players performed well in one part of the match but struggled in the other. This mixed performance gives the manager many things to work on before the new season starts. As he flies home from Chicago, Iraola will look at what went right and what went wrong. He needs to find a way to make his team play well for the whole ninety minutes. The tour is now over, but the hard work for the coach is just beginning.
