Hello and welcome into the latest division of ESPNFC, K-Mare, Alejandro Moreno and Chaka Hisloff here in the studio, kicking things off tonight in the Premier League, where Manchester City were taking on Bournemouth.

0:15.6

Looking to bounce back from that loss against Villa in the Premier League last time out, and they managed to do so with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth with Erling Harland letting hitting yet another brace for his side. He's now just two goals away from 100 in the Premier League. We welcome in Don Hutchison. Hello Don. Once again, we see Erling Harland doing what Erling Harlan does to help his side.

0:39.3

It's just genius, isn't it? It's just how on earth you stop him? Well, you don't play a high line.

0:45.3

That's obvious. Bournemouth deserve a lot of credit for how they try to approach the games.

0:51.3

The reason why they've beaten Tottenham and beaten Brighton. They're a high pressing side.

0:55.3

They try to play on the halfway line.

0:56.9

They try to condense the spaces.

0:58.3

But when you're playing Ellen Harland, I'm afraid you can't. You've got to drop that a little bit deeper. You've got to go into a sort of low block if you can. It's not really born of style. so I get why they didn't approach the game like that.

1:09.3

But this guy is just phenomenal.

1:10.9

I mean, some strikers get one-on-one with the goalkeeper,

1:13.5

and you think, nope, don't fancy it. So I get why they didn't approach the game like that. But this guy is just phenomenal.

1:28.4

I mean, some strikers get one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and you think, nope, don't fancy him. As soon as Harlan goes through, you just think, yep, inevitable. And he could have got a lot more. The guy's just a phenomenon. Absolutely brilliant stuff, Shathe, once again, from him. Today we're talking about the service that he gets, where you linked up so well with Cherokee today.

1:28.4

And I thought that was a difference in today and Grand once again from him today. We're talking about the service that he gets where he linked up so well with Cherokee today.

1:35.1

And I thought that was the difference in today and Granite, Cherokee being on the park as opposed to seasons gone by,

1:41.5

when we've been a little bit critical of city in their slow buildup and inability to get Erling Harland in behind defenses.

1:45.0

Cherokee just recognizes, listen, all I have to do is just put this ball in space. And in fairness to him, well, he makes it look simple.

1:48.0

I think his understanding of Erling Harland, the run he makes him behind, the weight of his passes, absolutely perfect.

1:54.0

Robach the clock were a couple of years, and Pep Goddard was telling Erland to stay up front,

2:00.0

don't drop back and get involved in the play.

2:02.0

Yet still, with the goal today, you see him dropping deeper, getting involved, and that just opened up space for him to run in behind.

2:11.5

All he needed was somebody to provide that service.

2:14.0

In years gone by, it was Kevin DeByner, but because of his injuries, etc.
