- Published
Bournemouth boss Marco Rose, speaking to Radio Solent after the Cherries' 4-0 victory over Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup third round: "I like the result, clean sheet, first time this season.
"Four goals and quite a good performance. For 94 minutes, we just gave one chance away. We had many shots on target, good phases in the game, good pressing.
"We knew that the opponents were special and different. Many long balls and second balls, but we did it very well."
On Rayan's return to the matchday squad: "It is about proving. It is important to have him back. He was injured, but he is in a good spot now. We know that he is a top player technically and not just the goals, the passes he played today. The things he sees on the pitch, the overview he has. I am really happy with him."
On utilising more players in the squad: "We were convinced because we knew everyone had a good pre-season. Now it is getting really busy with many games and we need everyone. That is what I always tell them. It is good to see that everyone is ready."
On the League Cup: "For me, I am new in this country, new to this club and getting used to English football, but it is a chance to win a title. We want to compete, and we want to please our fans and that's why it is quite important. Today we are really happy."
