Cherries' 3-1 victory against Saints on Monday night should have been more flattering. Three first half goals from Evanilson, Ouattara and Semenyo put the game out of reach early on, but despite a late rally, Russell Martin's side rarely looked like threatening Iraola's men. The tactics were questionable, the persistence with a failing plan was baffling, and Bournemouth, we were just licking our lips at everything he was doing.

In this pod, Kirk Tovey from Cherries Red Army joins Sam and Tom at the Pear at Parley to roast Russell Martin's tactical game-plan.
