Analysis: Rose made to wait again
[Getty Images] Rose was only six minutes away from a dream start to his Bournemouth managerial career last week. That was until Manchester City offered the German a brutal reminder of the demands the Premier League with two late goals that left him empty-handed after his first outing. After more late drama, he and Bournemouth at least have their first point on board but the wait will go on for a first win under their new head coach. However, it could have been worse for the Cherries, who largely had their keeper Petrovic to thank for keeping Everton at bay. Michele di Gregorio, who spent the last season as the Juventus goalkeeper, joined the club on loan this summer to provide competition for Petrovic. But based on Saturday's account, the Italian will have his work cut out to displace the incumbent. Petrovic's outstanding save kept out Branthwaite's sharp header from a Dewsbury-Hall corner before he also stretched to turn behind a low drive from Iliman Ndiaye. He then fumbled a tame attempt from Tyrique George but recovered in time to stop Barry from stealing in on the follow-up. The Serb continued his fine outing by denying the Everton striker four minutes after the restart though his resistance was finally broken by Tarkowski. Rose always had a hard act to follow at Vitality Stadium after taking over from Andoni Iraola, who guided them to a sixth-placed finish and the Europa League last season. And with another stern test at Newcastle to come next week, his start to life in the Premier League will not get any easier.
