It was a brilliant first season back in the Premier League for Bournemouth as they finished 15th, making themselves safe with four games to spare. However, scoring goals proved to be problematic.
Scott Parker was sacked a month into the 2022/23 season, with his replacement Gary O’Neil successfully steering the Cherries away from danger, but attacking issues remained.
In 18 of their 38 Premier League matches, they failed to score, with their 37-goal haul fewer than all top-flight sides bar Wolverhampton Wanderers (31), Everton (34) and Southampton (36).
Not being awarded a single penalty all season didn’t help. For someone like Dominic Solanke, that could be important when weighing up his 2023/24 prospects, which we’ll discuss in further detail later on.
Incoming boss Andoni Iraola can at least take encouragement from the fact Bournemouth did convert opportunities when they arrived, with their 10.3% goal conversion rate placing them mid-table.
