Tactics and style
In possession, Parker sets his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation utilizing a double pivot. For the majority of the season, this paring has been Lewis Cook and Jefferson Lerma.
This partnership has a great understanding of each other and knows the other game. When in possession, Cook drops deeper and offers himself as an option for the defenders. Cook is very comfortable on the ball and excels at progressing the play forwards. By dropping deep, not only does he give his teammates an option to pass to, but he also allows for Bournemouth to set up in a much more open and expansive way.
Lerma pushes forward and finds pockets of space between the lines where he can try and receive the ball. By doing this, it gives space for Cook to comfortably get on the ball. The Bournemouth fullbacks push wide but not too high when building up. Parker takes a more conservative approach with how far he likes his fullbacks to go in the early stages of build-up. This aids him if there is a quick turnover in possession, as his team is in place to recover.
