Where are the goals coming from?

Bournemouth have played five games since the restart and have scored just three goals in that time. The shots have slowly started to creep up and Bournemouth have started to get more shots in target, but it has been a grind.

Will Harry get more big chances in the coming games and will he take any of them?

Callum Wilson can count himself unlucky with his last minute goal that was disallowed against Spurs. While he took that chance well, it is hard to remember any other chances that Callum made and that is a worry for Eddie Howe. If Callum is not getting the service, then who is going to score the goals?

Josh King also had a goal disallowed and we might have expected Josh to have seen some goal action playing up next to Callum, but he again didn't trouble Lloris very much in the Tottenham goal. It was Stanislas and Harry Wilson who were perhaps just as likely to score and while Stanislas had a snap shot that almost caused trouble on half-time, it wasn't until added time that Harry Wilson got his chance. The problem with it coming so late is that Harry knew it could be a winner, and he just didn't take it well enough to beat Lloris.

While Bournemouth had a lot of corners, they didn't get any of their big defenders' head to the crosses, and the crosses were pretty weak all game. Crossing is certainly an area that could be improved. The attacks could have been a bit more direct as well, but I think Howe has to play Danjuma to get that direct pace in the team.

While fans also enquire about Surridge, it looks like Eddie won't give him any more game time unless the clubs position is confirmed. When it's all over bar the shouting is probably when Surridge will get a go. I can't see why Howe didn't give Danjuma or Surridge on for the last 10 minutes against Spurs, but fresh legs were not introduced. Eddie Howe will need to find goals from somewhere through in this next game. Let's hope he uses his subs well as the players had a hard game against Spurs.
