Team news for #afcb - "I don't expect anyone new - I also hope that we don't lose anyone." Cherries waiting on a few players that picked up "niggles" against Manchester United, but looking like the same 20 to face Crystal Palace #fpl

"It's not a message, it is what I believe." Iraola's comments about not getting too excited is not a tactic to calm expectations, rather than his personal view. #afcb

Andoni admits he would be surprised if you told him that #afcb would be 5th on Xmas day at the start of the season.

Adds that the Premier League is so competitive, where everyone can beat everyone.

"Let's see where it puts us in the table at the end of the season."

Andoni is here.

First question about #afcb's form and their European chances.

"I want to repeat what I tell you every day - I don't believe in the long term goals when we are not half way through the season.

"Because we are higher (in the league table), it is not a big change"

Team news for #afcb against #MUFC - pretty much the same for the last game. No recoveries from injuries, no fresh doubts.

Iraola asked about #afcb's prowess at set-pieces, and Manchester United's deficiency at defending them.

"It's true that they've conceded a lot of goals from set plays, but they have very good defenders.

"A lot of the goals have been good execution by the opposition."

Iraola feels that Manchester United have improved defensively from last season, even under Erik ten Hag.

Feels that is continuing under Ruben Amorim.

Iraola asked about the penalty decisions last time out.

"We haven't talked. Normally you talk to these people once a year - it's not something we do week-to-week."

I wonder how Gary O'Neil managed to get Howard Webb's number a few seasons back.

#afcb

Andoni Iraola is here to talk #afcb v Manchester United.
Asked about how Cherries continue their strong start to the season.

"I think you have to focus on the next challenge, the next game. I don't look too much to the overall picture."

I got done by Lew coming to the touchline at the same time - I corrected it on the other social media platform but not here 🤐

Full time here. Despite their best efforts, #afcb only able to salvage a point.

Would have been boring and predictable at this point if they had won it late yet again.

James Hill no longer coming on, it seems. Poor Hilly. #afcb

Soft foul given to #afcb, some distance out. Unal fancies it... struts up to the ball and curls it into the top. corner.

Felt like it was going to take something special to beat Fabianski tonight.

James Hill coming on for the final minutes here. #afcb

A handball decision going against #afcb and in favour of West Ham - we've seen a few of those in recent years. Not as egregious as the volleyball incident up in London.

Penalty is given. Not sure what Adams is thinking there - naive to chuck the hands up in a half-hearted attempt to block the cross. #afcb

Referee Christopher Kavangh off to the monitor. Looked like it did touch Adams' hand tbf. #afcb

Believe there is a VAR check as a West Ham cross may brush the outstretched arm of Tyler Adams in the penalty area. #afcb

Brooks and Adams on for Semenyo and Adam Smith. #afcb

Semenyo and Cook off for Brooks and Cook. #afcb

Tyler Adams and David Brooks stripping off to come on for #afcb

Zabarnyi struggling after a tackle on Jarrod Bowen. Hasn't received treatment yet, so looks like he wants to play on. #afcb

Alvarez booked for taking out Semenyo on the counter. #afcb

Alvarez looking aghast after Christie leaves a bit on him - moments after the Mexican shoved the Scot to the deck.

To be fair, Christie had caught him in a tackle before that - a feisty duel to watch, that one. #afcb

Cherries' one-touch counters this season have been things of beauty.

However, #afcb have been guilty of dwelling too long - momentum taken out of the move allows West Ham to block Semenyo's eventual effort.

Ryan Christie lashes over a volley after a give-and-go with Lewis Cook. #afcb playing with the energy we expect of them after the break.

After a mazy Semenyo run, Evanilson tees up Christie who lefts of a firecracker of an effort. Strong wrist from Fabianski to tip the unsighted shot out for an #afcb corner.

Semenyo cuts inside from the left, into the box, but his placed shot is tame and well held by Fabianski. #afcb

Some more #afcb shots on goal - corner routine finds its way to Kluivert, who curls a tame effort into the safe grasp of Fabianski.

Dango has an effort deflected out for a corner. He's taken to swinging the right-foot tonight. #afcb
