"I don't think it's a great point for us. I think playing at home we were probably closest to scoring the three points but I think we don't deserve them because we had to pay for our slow start. We started really slow and that's happening to us lately."
"It's a good point because here [Bournemouth] is a tough place. They have a clear identity, intensity, so it's hard. We tested today the mentality and the character of the squad and we reacted well after a tough run. It was important to show this character and the point is important for us."
"After three defeats it's not easy to react and for a newly promoted side, the confidence is always a topic. We worked this week on that idea, that we had to show intensity and match the way they drive their duels."
