Iraola also discussed the issue of his team being penalized for fouls, saying that it is an issue that needs to be addressed. He noted that his team has received a high number of yellow cards, but also pointed out that the referee allows fewer fouls for a yellow card compared to other teams in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth will be without the suspended players David Brooks, Marcos Senesi, and Lewis Cook when they face Everton. Iraola defended his players, saying that suspensions and injuries are inevitable, especially in a busy period of the season.

He expressed his hope that players who have not played as much will be ready to step in and contribute to the team's success. Iraola also praised Everton's manager, David Moyes, for his consistent performance in the Premier League.

He described it as a "big challenge" to face Everton, but expressed his hope that his team will be able to meet the challenge and put up a good fight.
