Harry is gonna be on the OTB football show after 9pm

Sent off for two yellows.

He just got sent off v West Ham, Cheikhou Kouyate had effectively got past him down the wing, but Arter was
still trying to drag him back, I was thinking he was going to get a booking for that but then i rememebered
he already had one, so he did indeed get booked and subsequently got sent off.

Rather unnecessary, there were other central defender back do deal with any threat.

He got his first yellow after a handball, but I think the commentator said he got the card
for talking back to the ref.

West Ham just scored and about 5 mins to go, so not a great contribution from Arter.

I'd say it was probably heading for a draw prior to the sending off.

There has always been a question mark over his discipline and temperament, not something I'm sure you could level at Whelan or McCarthy whatever their faults.

I think he's a decent player but hyped up beyond all belief. I read elsewhere i.e. not here all kinds of complementary posts about him last week. I watched the game and I thought there were 6 or 7 Bournemouth players better than him on the day.

That being said he's a good squad player to have, though not markedly better than the likes of McCarthy or Hendrick.

While I am here, Eunan O'Kane is linked with Leeds and Wigan but Bournemouth are supposedly looking for £1m.

IDK if this will be a stay of execution for him. I think Howe has made his mind up about O'Kane at this stage.

Now that Robbie is retiring, is Harry going to be your new bête noire ? Who has hyped him up "beyond belief" ? Admittedly he was voted PFA Fans' Player of the Year in the Championship in 2014/5 and was more than holding his own in the Premier League until injured so to praise him for that would be well deserved but I haven't seen any beyond belief hype? I'd suggest that he be given a good run in the team before you start on his case. Actually, wait until he scores 20 goals and 50 or so caps and then get really stuck in that he is only good against weak teams.

I said he's a decent player and a good option to have in the squad, though not markedly better than Hendrick or McCarthy.

Which of those parts do you disagree with?

A lot of Irish fans seem to believe that he should be a nailed on starter already. Whose place would he take in the team, Whelan, McCarthy, Hendrick or Hoolahan? Even Brady looks like he could be a genuine option in midfield after his recent performances.

I have watched him for Ireland, and I thought he was poor against England and good, not great, against Holland.

I just think he was not one of Bournemouth's best players against Man Utd when reading online would make you think otherwise. I also think you could foreshadow his red card last week. He needs to improve his disciplinary record because referees will tolerate less in Intl matches.

A lot? Really? I don't think so. I think 'a lot' of Irish fans were highly impressed with Hendrick, Hoolahan and Brady during the Euros in the types of position that Arter would be aiming for. I think people just want to see him given a shot. The England game was a tough one to impress in as he was really pegged back and it was a short appearance. And, as you said, he was good against Holland.

I think he's a credible option to start in midfield even if everyone is fit, but realistically he's best seen as first or second back-up to any one of McCarthy, Hendrick, Brady or Hoolahan. I'm not saying any of these is similar to the other or that he is similar to any of them, just that I think he can step in for any of them without changing the balance of the team too much. He can play deep-midfield (probably not as well as Gibson or Whelan, or even O'Kane) and very definitely middle-midfield and advanced-midfield.

I like him he has been committed to us since he was a kid so deserves his chance not a Johnny come lately as I've heard some lads say in the real world

This was a nice assist from Arter

Described as a "clever ball" here, in better quality.

Wow he was receiving some praise from John Motson, "best mom performance I have seen for some time"

By the way was hard to find this thread the forum seems messed up with moved threads

Match stats, rated 8.3, next best is Coleman 7.8 also Stanislas 7.8

He made 5 tackles, Coleman 8, both 100% success rate. Mind you if the tackle is not successful is it a tackle???
