‘Important not to overreact’ – Fabian Hurzeler issues important advice to players and fans after beating Chelsea
Fabian Hurzeler said he ‘stayed calm’ after the heavy defeat at Nottingham Forest – and that provided the foundation for Brighton to prove a lot of doubters wrong against Chelsea in tonight’s FA Cup win.
Questions were rightly asked after Albion’s 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest but there were some, perhaps, premature calls for Hurzeler to lose his job for it.
The German got it wrong at the City Ground – none more so than playing Jack Hinshelwood as a lone midfielder with no protection – but he showed he learned from that against Chelsea.
The returning Carlos Baleba was the difference maker as he settled down the midfield which dominated Chelsea for large parts.
