Brighton boss De Zerbi: Wolves draw not enough

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi felt they deserved more after Monday night's 0-0 draw with Wolves.

The result sees Brighton move into seventh place on the Premier League table.

De Zerbi said:"I am disappointed by the result, I think we deserved to win. But Wolves are a very good team with good players, especially in attack, we have a big respect for them.

"We deserved to win, we played a good game and made one, two mistakes in the first half where we could score. I think we played very well.

"We have to adapt depending on the players. Without Mitoma or Enciso or Fati or Adingra or March we can't play with wingers and we have to change the tactical position on the pitch. We have to find a different solution.

"The transfer market is not my business, my business is to organise my players. I think we played well. [On signings], you'll have to ask the club.

"We have the target to be in the top 10. I think we are doing very well, I think we are happy."

The match was James Milner's 633rd in the Premier League, seeing him move second on the all-time rankings.

De Zerbi added: "Amazing player, amazing guy. I'm very lucky because I have a great group of players and I think we are playing better than last season. We are doing something historic and I'm proud for my players."
