00:00We have to see how Luis is today, we have to see how Sumadu Rielly is back in training.
00:05When he will be ready for a potential player in the squad,
00:11also Joao, Peto will be back.
00:14So some players will be back on the pitch and I think with Ferdi it's not that bad.
00:20So hopefully he will be also an option for Saturday.
00:24You need to be very good in details if you want to win a game.
00:28It's the same. We had momentum on our side but we didn't use it.
00:33That's so important in the Premier League. If you have chances,
00:38if you create a lot of chances then you have to use this momentum because
00:42if you don't do it then the opponent will punish it.
00:45I think that's a big learning. Then of course
00:49in the end what I always say is we have to be better in defending the goal.
00:55We conceded three goals, that's too much in the Premier League.
00:58You can't win games like this and that's why it's about a mixture between
01:05using the momentum at the right time, being defensively better,
01:08but also have the self-confidence and the self-belief that you can
01:11beat every opponent in this league.
01:13In general you want to keep the same style but
01:17at some point you have to make adjustments and small adaptations.
01:23When you play, for example, against Newcastle United where you know it's
01:27an intense game where they come man to man, then you can't play the same game
01:33like you play at home against Wolverhampton.
01:36You always need to make small adjustments but in general of course
01:41we try to focus on our style of play. We try to be dominant in possession
01:46and we will do this away and at home.
01:49It's just like being ruthless.
01:52What I mean is just to avoid individual mistakes because Liverpool punished them
02:00so when we look at the first goal it's not even a chance for them,
02:03it's just a shot from outside from an unbelievable angle.
02:09We were not able to keep Gakko on the right foot, for example,
02:13so when you know that he's trying to go inside,
02:16avoid that he can go on his right foot, for example.
02:20The same is not only out of possession, only in possession.
02:24We had plenty of chances where we just needed the last consequence,
02:30where we just needed the last focus to score.
02:34And I think in both directions, in possession and out of possession,
02:37they are the small details that make the difference in the end.
02:40Exactly these small details, you need to have them on your side
02:45and you need to do them in a perfect way,
02:47otherwise you won't have a chance against a top team like Liverpool.
02:51Hello, I'm Henry Bryant, a reporter at Sussex World,
02:54and I'm joined with Darren Howard who writes Brighton and Hove Albion coverage.
02:59Now we've just come out of the pre-match press conference for their Premier League clash.
03:04What did you think of it? What did you think about the result yesterday?
03:08And how's Herzl feeling?
03:10Yeah, well, it's one of these sort of semi-unique situations
03:13where they've got this doubleheader, haven't they?
03:15They played obviously in the Carabao Cup last night,
03:18suffered a 3-2 defeat, but they played pretty well.
03:21It'll be a much changed team.
03:23They made eight changes to the team last night from the team that drew 2-2 with Wolves.
03:28And I think there's going to be a similar amount of changes for the game up at Anfield.
03:32I think there's going to be plenty of new faces coming in
03:36and it will have a different feel to the team at Anfield.
03:40Brighton fans will be really happy to see that there might be a few more players coming back.
03:44This will be a stronger side for Brighton to put out against Liverpool this time round.
03:49What do you think is going to happen in this one?
03:52I don't know.
03:54You look through that Liverpool team and they've just been playing so well.
03:58Arnie Slott's come in and he's just been seamless how he's succeeded Jurgen Klopp.
04:06There were so many worries up at Liverpool and the fan base about how
04:10this season's going to go after Klopp left, who was such a big figure at the club obviously.
04:15But if anything, I think Slott's almost taken them to another level.
04:20The team looks really settled.
04:21The team looks strong and I think there's room for improvement at Liverpool as well.
04:26So they'll be confident going into it.
04:28But I think Brighton have to go there with the confidence that
04:31they can play against these big teams.
04:33They've got the players now to compete.
04:36Hersele talked about the mentality of the team going to places like Anfield.
04:41I think that's going to be important that they go there and think that they deserve to play
04:45and that they deserve the right to compete against Liverpool and give it their best shot.
04:50If they fall short, they fall short.
04:52But I think they have to go there and really attack the game and just
04:57give themselves the best chance of winning.
05:00With the players that they have, Karol Matoma, Simon Odinga look sharp as well.
05:05With Georginio Ratta and Danny Welbeck, they're going to be a goal threat as well.
05:10So yeah, they've got a good chance.
05:12Fantastic.
05:13Thanks, Deron.
