What they're saying

"
Bournemouth's opening pre-season friendly under Marco Rose finished in a 4-1 victory for the Cherries against German second-tier side St Pauli - but what did we learn from the new boss' first 90 minutes. The big standout was Evanilson. The Brazilian very rarely played anywhere but the number nine role under previous manager Andoni Iraola- and you can understand why because he was their record signing brought in to replace Dominic Solanke and get the Cherries goals.
