Pulis: Bournemouth will need to get used to losing

West Brom manager Tony Pulis has said that Bournemouth will need to get used to losing matches once the Premier League season starts.

Eddie Howe's Cherries were promoted as Champions from the Sky Bet Championship last year, but Pulis believes that the club will need a different mindset this time out.

Talking during 5 live Sport's Premier League launch show, Pulis said: "They have to get used to losing next year, that's going to happen."

"Eddie Howe has to manage the expectation and disappointment. That's a different experience for him, it's something he'll have to learn very quickly," he added.

Former Bournemouth manager Harry Redknapp also shared Pulis' view:

"They will have setbacks this year and as Tony says they'll have to recover from those setbacks, and they will."
