Fabian Hurzeler believes [Albion](https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/albion/?ref=au) can beat anyone in the Premier League.
And he told them that while they were still getting their breath back from their win over Newcastle.
The Seagulls aim for back-to-back league wins for the first time this season as they go to Manchester United on Saturday.
Consistency has been a key word in the Albion camp since last season – and not just from their head coach.
And it was repeated in those minutes after the 2-1 success over Toon.
As is customary, Hurzeler stressed the message of working hard and chasing back out of possession when needed.
He then told his exhausted players: “It’s all about us guys.
“If we stick together as a team, if we play with courage, we can beat everyone in the league.
“But it’s about consistency.
“It’s about getting in a habit with these things, this behaviour.”
Albion have used one win to fuel another a couple of times this season, thanks to the Carabao Cup.
Their midweek 6-0 romp at Oxford United in the second round was followed by the 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
Then came the international window to halt their stride.
The win at Chelsea came three days after their 6-0 success at Barnsley.
But that was followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw at Wolves.
Hurzeler will demand his side hit the “benchmark” he felt they set in terms of effort against Newcastle.
But, for added intrigue, the same message will be coming from the opposite camp.
Manchester United will be under scrutiny against the Seagulls to see how they react to winning at Anfield by that same 2-1 margin.
A great result for United – albeit one achieved with a degree of good fortune. Now go and prove you are on the up.
Because United have done that even in their tough year under Ruben Amorim.
They have shown what they can do against the bigger clubs, those who used to be their rivals, and then slipped up against the perceived lesser outfits.
Amorim is on guard. He said after the Liverpool game: "It was a good day and now I am concerned about Brighton.
“It meant a lot but tomorrow, it won’t mean a lot."
Hurzeler’s thoughts will get less coverage but he made his message clear last Saturday afternoon.
It is one which has no doubt been repeated at their Lancing base in the days since then.
