Iraola Urges Tavernier to Improve Numbers at Bournemouth

He also scored a goal in their recent 1-1 draw against Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadium.

“I think he's playing very well,” Iraola, speaking before their weekend game against Liverpool, said.

“He's having chances. He's finishing, he's arriving from the crosses the other side. But I think he past season also was very good from him.

“I was very happy and that's why he played so many minutes and he gives us more things, not only the finishing.

“It would be amazing if he could have even better numbers because I think he has the ability to also do the numbers, but I don't want him to lose some of his work because he has to make the numbers because I think at the end, even if better numbers will make him a worse player.

“So, we ask him to do a lot of things and I want him to continue doing these things and if we can add more numbers like everyone else, much better.”
