"We have a loss of confidence and the way to get that back is to work harder and stick closer together, and we have the opportunity to do that against Villa,"
"There are only two options: to give up or work harder and push harder, and the second one is always the option I choose."
"The fans supported the team in a great way today. It is easier to play if there is positive energy in the stands, and it's our responsibility to create this."
Brighton sit 14th after a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, extending a five-match winless league run and leaving them with one win in their last 12 Premier League games. Since December 3 the club ranks 18th in top-flight form with nine points, having been as high as fifth earlier in the season. Manager Fabian Hurzeler urged the squad to work harder and stick closer together, calling the upcoming game against Aston Villa an opportunity to regain confidence. He rejected giving up, praised the fans' positive energy, and emphasized the team's responsibility to create momentum. Villa have also struggled, with one win in five league matches and pressure in the top-four race.
