Eddie Howe wants consistency from Jordon Ibe

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has called on Jordon Ibe to find "consistency" in his game.

The summer signing from Liverpool has started all 11 of Bournemouth's Premier League matches this season, but is yet to complete the full 90 minutes for the Cherries.

Ibe was replaced at the interval of Bournemouth's 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at the weekend, and Howe has admitted that he wants more from the 20-year-old.

"The only thing Jordon has struggled with for me has been consistency. He's had some great moments, he's had some good 10-15 minutes, half an hours, but he's not really put that together for any real consistent period and hence why he's coming off the pitch," Howe told reporters.

"He's got great potential, he's a player that could be anything he wants to be, and these are early steps for him here. We do tend to forget how young he is. The challenge for Jordon is he will stay on the pitch when he puts those performances together. If he does I think he'll be a real asset for the team."

Ibe scored four times in 58 Liverpool appearances before making the move to Bournemouth.
