Harry Wilson puts his hands up

One could say it has not been Harry Wilson's finest hour in the last few games for AFC Bournemouth. First a missed chance to win the game or should I say, had a shot saved against Tottenham in the final minutes, and then a handball to give Southampton a penalty. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry Wilson wants to head up to the M6 and onto Liverpool as quick as he scamper.
Harry Wilson puts his arms in the air at just the wrong moment in the Southampton match.
I wouldn't say Harry has a bad first season in the Premier League, but we have come to know his limitations. He will have time to recover and play in teams with more confidence than AFCB. His time on the south coast will be invaluable to him, but Jurgen Klopp won't be hoodwinked. Harry Wilson still has loads to learn and he is not yet a reliable performer over 90 minutes, even if he has a wonderful free kick on him.

Even if Bournemouth stay up, I can't see them putting in a bid for Harry. He has scored some good goals, but has not defended well. I am not sure his game will really have come on in this first Premier League season, and it may take him back a step or two. It will have kept him in Ryan Giggs mind though for the Euros next year and Harry Wilson will seek more exposure next season with a Premier League club I expect and hope for more Welsh call ups.
One of the teams coming up would probably be pleased to take Wilson. Bournemouth need a more rounded player with quicker thought patterns when they are in their own box. I still can't work out why he jumped with his arms up as he did in the Southampton game. It was a typically mindless thing to do, which school players get told off for. But we have seen Adam Smith give a penalty away as well in recent weeks - it happens. The main point for Harry will be not to do it next time. For Bournemouth there is unlikely to be a next time, after tonight's games.

We know VAR is inconsistent and Bournemouth have come off harshly on such penalty decisions. It is the panic that the players seem to have when they are in their own penalty box that cause the problems. Their isn't enough calmness and clearness of though to defend well with these players yet.

As for Harry Wilson, I wish him well next season. He will get better. Loan moves are always a balance of positives and negatives and Harry Wilson's move last summer might not look quite as valuable now as it did back then.
