Horror defending vs. Everton has Bournemouth looking over their shoulders

Bournemouth's brilliant attacking play has never been in doubt but after their shocking defensive performance against Everton on Feb. 4 it looks like they are going to need more than their ability to score plenty of goals to stay in the Premier League.

With a couple of difficult fixtures coming up, the Cherries desperately need to find a quick solution to their defensive woes or they are risk of dropping even closer to the bottom three.

Positives

The spirited fight back in the second half was a massive positive despite the negative scoreline. Bournemouth's never-say-die attitude is a valuable trait they possess and if they do get drawn into a relegation scrap they will need to keep that intact.
