Andoni Iraola's Impact at Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola has made a significant impact at Bournemouth since his arrival, guiding the team to the latter stages of the FA Cup and maintaining a contention for European qualification. His tactical approach has been notably successful in the early stages of games, as evidenced during a hard-fought match against Manchester City where Bournemouth's aggressive strategy initially overwhelmed the opposition. However, a worrying trend has emerged, as the team tends to struggle in sustaining performance after taking a lead, suggesting weaknesses in controlling games. With only three teams having a worse win rate after gaining an advantage since Iraola's tenure began, it raises questions about the effectiveness of the current playing style over extended periods.
