""In the first half, we were too passive, we weren't brave enough and didn't play with enough courage or personality," "In the second half, we did all that. It's about personality and courage. We showed that, but we didn't start well and weren't able to push out. It was a mix of believing in our own quality and pressing - and that's what we missed.""
""We were close to making it 2-2, we had chances and we were in the game. But in the end, we weren't able to score. The small margins make the difference, and we have to understand how important they are. We proved in the second half [we can compete], but it is about doing it for 90 minutes. If you aren't doing it for 45 minutes, then you have to be defensively good. We definitely have to improve there.""
Brighton lost 2-1 at Arsenal, extending their Premier League winless run to five matches. Martin Odegaard opened the scoring, and a Declan Rice corner was deflected in off Georginio Rutter to make it 2-0. Diego Gomez pulled one back and Brighton surged late, with Yankuba Minteh denied by David Raya, but the comeback fell short. Fabian Hurzeler said Brighton were too passive and lacked courage in the first half but improved after the break. He highlighted the importance of 90-minute consistency, defending set-pieces and attention to small margins that decided the result.
