Bournemouth's poor display highlights the need for a new centre-back

Losing 3-1 to the Premier League's bottom side, Hull, who were also the team Bournemouth beat 6-1 earlier in the season, is an awful result.

Eddie Howe would have been desperate to bounce back from their 3-0 FA Cup defeat to Millwall on Jan. 7 but instead his side dished up one of their worst performances of the season. They had 61 percent possession but managed just eight shots, as opposed to Hull's 14. All in all, it was an incredibly disappointing day.

Positives

There were very few positives. Another 90 minutes for Jack Wilshere and his continuation of a run of games without injury is good for both him, Bournemouth and even Arsenal.
