Brighton & Hove Albion manager Sami Hyypia feels his team is yet to lose to a better side this season.The Seagulls have started their Championship campaign with two wins, two defeats and draw and have progressed to the third round of the Capital One Cup.
Hyypia, who takes his side to Brentford tomorrow, said “If we give our all and lose to the better team than we have done our best but I feel we haven't lost to a better team this season.
“I want to win every game, so if we had won every game I would be satisfied with our start but when you take into account the small squad we had, the start of the season was okay.
“I’m only satisfied when we win all the games, football is all about winning and giving everything you have got in every game.
“I knew when I came here the Championship was a very tough league and anyone can beat anyone.
“Every game is a battle and you need to be on top of your game in every match. If you take any game lightly, or your concentration isn’t 100%, you are going to get beaten.”
