Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and his Leicester City counterpart Claudio Ranieri gave their verdicts on Saturday (29th August) following a 1-1 draw between the sides in the English Premier League.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eddie Howe, Bournemouth manager:

"Yeah, I thought it was difficult for us, second half especially with the injuries. It's quite strange that you see players go off in that manner in the same position near enough, the same side of the pitch anyway. I felt it restricted us tactically, we couldn't make any changes late in the game, and we needed to to try and get momentum back in our play. And also from the guys' perspective to see their team-mates stretchered off - and they're (the players) so tight here - that's a difficult one psychologically to handle. But you know, we're not too downbeat. It's an important point for us."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eddie Howe, Bournemouth manager:

"Yeah, Tyra's (Tyrone Mings' injury) didn't look good, seeing him in that much pain again isn't nice to see. But also Maxi (Max Gradel), Maxi knew pretty early that he had a serious one (injury) there and, you know, any knee injury is worrying. So concern for all three players (Mings, Gradel and Charlie Daniels) tonight."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City manager:

"I'm very pleased because I know today was a tough match because Bournemouth play well, very well organised in every moment during set-pieces in everywhere. And we started very well, but after we conceded a goal we lost the compass (i.e. direction)... and that is no good because everybody can score but it is important to maintain the right line. And the second half, we showed a very good spirit, character. It wasn't an easy match for us and also for Bournemouth."
