Guardiola unfazed by Trafford critics ahead of Brighton clash - Soccer News
Briefly

James Trafford produced a nervy performance in Manchester City's 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham, including a giveaway that led to Joao Palhinha's goal. Pep Guardiola expressed confidence that Trafford will overcome the mistake, stressing squad depth, support for players after errors, and acceptance of incoming and outgoing transfers. Ederson has been linked with a move to Galatasaray and Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with Manchester City. Brighton remain without a league win after results against Fulham and Everton, but they routed Oxford United 6-0 in the EFL Cup, with Stefanos Tzimas scoring twice. James Milner is mentoring youngsters at Brighton.
"We have a big squad and many new signings, and we have people who will leave and in that way have to accept it, What happened does not belong just to James. To James what happened with the second goal [against Spurs], he's a strong man and huge personality. Of course he was concerned, and I wouldn't want it any other way, but we are here to help in those moments."
Brighton are still searching for their first league win this season after a 1-1 draw against Fulham was followed by a 2-0 defeat at Everton last weekend. The Seagulls did gain some momentum during the week, thrashing Oxford United 6-0 in the EFL Cup as 19-year-old Stefanos Tzimas scored twice and provided one assist. Former Man City midfielder James Milner has taken it upon himself to help the youngster at Brighton develop in the right way.
