Ryan Fraser

Full page interview with Ryan in The Guardian today. The following extract tells you all you need to know about the adverse effect playing for MM had on Ryan's playing style:

Ryan was full of confidence after his season-long loan at Ipswich but needed an early reminder that Bournemouth's style of play was a bit more refined. "I remember the first day I hit a shot from 30 yards and the gaffer was like: 'what are you doing? We don't do that here!'

And then, at Tottenham: "I could have run at Danny Rose. I got the ball and passed it backwards. The manager said 'Why not think about going past him, getting a cross in and an assist to win the game? Or shoot and score?'

"My mindset was not as positive as his (Eddie Howe) and that has changed now."

Not surprising but shocking nevertheless!
