Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe feels the Cherries would need to adjust their game to get best out of new signing Juan Manuel Iturbe.

The 22-year-old winger arrived at the Vitality Stadium in a loan move from AS Roma this month and made his first start in Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup fourth round win at Portsmouth.

While Iturbe looked ok at times, Howe admit the pace of the game may have taken him by surprise and his urged the Cherries to help their new teammate out in future outings in order to help him adjust to the English game.

"It is very difficult to adjust, with the speed of that game, the physicality of that game at Portsmouth," said Howe of Iturbe.

"The first half wasn't something he was maybe used to. He did okay in flashes, nearly scored early on, and he'll get better from this point.

"Juan's talent is not in doubt, he's an outstanding player. We need to get to know him better, and by that I mean that the players on the pitch need to give him the ball at the right time in the right areas.

"I still feel there's an adjustment from our perspective to get the best out of him. Fitness-wise I think he needed that game too, so two games in a week will do him the world of good."
