Elsewhere in this week’s Bournemouth Briefing, we look back at the Cherries’ fiery 2-2 draw with Real Betis, discuss the things we’ve noticed from the early days of the Marco Rose era, and assess the red cards, Evanilson’s importance, Alex Tóth’s impressive showing and Amine Adli’s injury concern.

We also react to Enes Ünal’s departure, what it could mean for Daniel Jebbison, the latest encouraging signs regarding Junior Kroupi’s recovery, and Bournemouth’s latest signing Juanlu Sánchez – could he finally be the long-term successor to captain Adam Smith?
