AFC Bournemouth were HUMILIATED 5-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and the Cherries are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season. So, just how worried should we be? On this episode of The Second Look, we get into an honest, no-holds-barred discussion about what is going wrong under Marco Rose, why Bournemouth looked so lost in west London, and whether the growing frustration among supporters is justified. Six league games without a win. Sitting 17th in the table. A defence making costly mistakes, questionable team selections, confusing substitutions and a worrying lack of control when things start going wrong. There are plenty of reasons for concern — but is it too early to judge Rose, and are there still reasons to believe he can turn things around? Is patience the answer? With Sturm Graz visiting the Vitality Stadium in the Europa League before a massive Premier League meeting with Sunderland, the pressure is building. Could this be the week that changes Bournemouth's season — or are the warning signs becoming impossible to ignore? Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

From the incredible scenes in San Sebastián to the frustration of a narrow defeat against Liverpool, this is a proper tale of two sides to AFC Bournemouth’s season so far, but even within games, we're seeing a startling statistic, as, after five Premier League games, Bournemouth's first-half performances would put them top of the Premier League table. We look back on a historic first-ever Europa League victory over Real Sociedad, the incredible atmosphere created by thousands of travelling Cherries, the fan march, the celebrations and the unforgettable experience of Bournemouth finally taking their place on the European stage. But then came the return to Premier League reality. Bournemouth pushed Liverpool hard but ultimately suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat, leaving Marco Rose's side still searching for their first league win of the season. We discuss the team's performances, substitutions, squad depth and the growing questions surrounding second-half intensity and in-game management. Is there a problem with energy levels? Are substitutions coming too late? Is Marco Rose still learning which players he can trust? Or is this simply a five-game anomaly that will correct itself? European history has been made. Now Bournemouth need to make sure the Premier League doesn't become the unwanted distraction. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.
