Hürzeler Urges Brighton to Cut “silly mistakes” After Carabao Cup Win…see more…

“It won’t help you win games. We made silly mistakes. We weren’t clean and clear like we were in the first half.”

Hürzeler however admitted that the performance was a vital lesson as he continued: “Often I don’t judge the team by the results, I judge them by the performance.

“Today was more like a learning game for all of us. How you manage a game, what do you have to do to win games like this? And we were not on top, especially at the end of the game, and we didn’t manage or control the game like we should.

“Of course you need results, but on the other side I always try to focus on the process and there’s still a lot of things where we have to improve and I wanted the players to learn from their mistakes because every person makes mistakes.

“The most important thing is to learn from these mistakes and don’t make the same mistake twice. “That for me is very important. We try to improve every day.

“I’m very happy with the attitude of the players. They know there’s still a lot of potential for us to improve but it’s always a step-by-step process.”

Irish forward, Evan Ferguson made his first start since mid-March but Hürzeler has urged fans to be cautious with the 19 year-old, as he continues to rebuild his match fitness after a lengthy ankle injury.

“I think we saw in some situations how good he can be. He had some shots in the first half, he worked hard against the ball.

“He can’t be on the level already that he wants to and like he was before in the Premier League in the prime of his individual performance.

“We will try to get him there, he needs to train at 100 per cent and he needs to use every training sessions to get as fit as possible and then I’m sure that he will help us.”
