AFC Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe had his say after the disappointing defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Two Danny Welbeck strikes and an Alexandre Lacazette goal condemned the Cherries to defeat.
Here's the manager's take on his team's display against Arsene Wenger's side.
ON THE PERFORMANCE...
To be blunt, our performance wasn't very good.
I've got to be honest with people, I've got to stand here and be honest, I can't hide it.
We were disappointing from start to finish and we have a lot of work to do.
ON TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS...
I've been here many times before as a manager it happens, but you can't afford for it to happen in the Premier League.
If you're ever below your levels you will be punished.
I felt as though if we'd been good today we would have stood a chance, but we simply weren't.
ON THE LEAGUE POSITION...
You don't sit on zero points if everything's going great.
We have to dig deep and find some character, historically we've shown that and we have to show what we're made of.
ON THE TEAM...
You have to reach your maximum level in every game, let alone against the world class players on show today. I'm the manager and I have to take the responsibility and the responsibility to put it right.
Today you didn't see a Bournemouth team that represents what we stand for.
