Fans are mad at Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe after he took Liverpool loan star Harry Wilson off the pitch as the Cherries led Southampton by two goals to one.
Wilson scored the second but was the first Bournemouth player to be substituted off as the gaffer looked to regain control of the match.
And fans aren’t happy about the decision to take the Wales international off the field and replace him with Ryan Fraser.
With Josh King playing alongside Callum Wilson and his namesake Harry, Howe had other options if he wanted to get his little Scotsman some minutes.
Good game and goal @harrywilson_ didn't see the substitution coming though. Tell them to pass you the ball more lol

Harry hit the back of the net for the third time for Bounemouth as he continues his excellent start to his debut Premier League season.
The signs have been good for Liverpool as Howe has given his loan star the minutes he needs to keep developing, while the 22-year-old has taken to top flight life like a duck to water and hit the ground running.
Interestingly former Red Dominic Solanke was also handed a start but came off with 20 minutes to go in place of Lewis Cook. Solanke has struggled at Bournemouth and is yet to find the back of the net for his new side.
But we’re not talking about one of Michael Edwards’ finest deals yet – a move that could go down in transfer history as the best pound for pound outcome ever – we’re here to talk about Harry Wilson and the fact that the Welsh wizard can’t stop banging them in.
So why does Howe keeping insisting he’s pulled off when he looks like one of the best players on the pitch? That’s something we struggle to understand, but as long as Wilson is getting games and scoring goals it doesn’t really matter too much.
Hopefully this’ll put him firmly in Klopp’s thinking for next season and we’ll get to see another Academy lad line up alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold.
