Brighton Manager Fabian Hurzeler Reflects on Missed Opportunities

Following today’s defeat, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler told BBC Match of the Day: “There was a big chance today. If we score the second goal, or we could have even got a third or fourth, in the first half then it is a different game.” He continued, “Then of course they have individual quality. They scored out of nowhere with a cross, they scored with a shot from outside the box. In this league there are top quality players.” Hurzeler added, “We have to be at the maximum and today we were not for 90 minutes. Then you can’t win the game.” Regarding goalscorer Ferdi Kadioglu, Hurzeler stated: “He’s a very flexible players. He gives us good crosses, good shots, he can run a lot. He needs a little bit more time to adapt to the intensity but he’s getting there step-by-step. He is a great character, he loves to learn, he loves to improve and when he shows this attitude then I’m sure long-term he will be a very important player for us.” Sandi Toksvig appeared alongside Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
