Potter: 'I'm not going to throw the players under the bus, I have to take responsibility'

Graham Potter was asked in his press conference after the Brighton humiliation, whether his side struggles against teams that play at a high tempo, to which he responded:

"No, but it's the Premier League and everywhere is difficult. Brighton are a good side, I know that. And with the crowd and atmosphere they created, they put us under pressure. We made a couple of unforced errors to start everything off a little bit, but that can happen.

"Like I said, I'm not going to throw the players under the bus at all because they've been brilliant for us and given everything for me.

"So I have to take responsibility and try to find a way for us to do better. We've had an incredible schedule, this was our ninth game and sixth away match.

"We've had three wins in the Champions League to qualify, tough matches away at Brentford and Aston Villa, so this isn't to complain, but it's what we're up against. We met a really good opponent today, and they did really well."
