Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison discussing Fabian Hurzeler on BBC Sounds' Football Daily: "Huge pressure because you can hear the boos. it doesn't look the same. They are not the same fluent team I saw with Roberto de Zerbi.

"They are struggling to score goals and not keeping clean sheets - a recipe for disaster. Pressure will mount on him and they have a tough run of fixtures."

Telegraph journalist Luke Edwards added: "Drifting. That's how I would describe it. One win in 12, it doesn't matter what club you're at, you're in trouble. You keep selling your best players and relying on the brilliance of your data model and recruitment to find replacements, there's no such thing as a 100% success ratio in recruitment. I think the recruitment has gone a bit wayward. And the novelty of being Brighton - a thorn in the side of big boys - it wears off after a while.

"Stoke were a different club to Brighton in the way they did it. They stayed in the league for a long time, made Europe and then the magic fades.

"Hurzeler is in trouble as Tony Bloom will know the sense of drifting is insidious and dangerous. They are in trouble. It's worrying really."
