What happened in the Newcastle vs Brighton match?
It's finished goalless here at St. James' Park between Newcastle and Brighton. Frustration on the final whistle. Andy Carroll did make an appearance to rouse the home supporters, but no goal for him and no goal for either side, despite the fact that Brighton registered higher possession and a higher number of passes than they have managed in any Premier League game in which they played. They didn't make it count, though. Let's get some reaction from man of the match Stephen Alzate on his Premier League debut and Lewis Dunk there with Greg Whelan.
Guys, well done today. Lewis, a missed opportunity or a good point here? Missed opportunity. You saw we dominated the game, the whole game. Obviously, they showed last five minutes they're going to stick Andy Carroll on and throw it on us, but we defended it well there. But we got to punish teams in the first half when we were that dominant.
How did Andy Carroll's return impact the game?
We had so many chances and, yeah, it's frustrating today. Looking back, should you have been comfortably ahead after the first half an hour or so? Yeah, we should, and that's what we need to learn. We've improved, we're passing the ball well, dominating games, but now we need to kill teams off and punish them.
Steven, you were very much part of that on your Premier League debut. How much did you enjoy it out there today? It was an amazing feeling, obviously, getting an opportunity to start. Obviously, the gaffer has a lot of faith in me and I feel like I've been on the team since pre-season, so it wasn't anything strange. I felt comfortable. Obviously, these are encouraging me all the time, so it felt good, yeah. How did you find the step up today? You were playing in League Two last season, weren't you? Yeah, it was a good experience for me. Obviously, playing men's football is very different to playing under-23s football. And obviously, now it's time to kick on. And yeah, I'm thankful for the opportunity.
Hopefully, I get many more games. You seem to have quite a free role up there, particularly in the first half.
What were the missed opportunities for Brighton in the match?
What did the head coach say to you? What role did he ask you to play here today? I was playing left wing back, but he told me to get as high as possible, stretch the play, told me to be confident when I was on the ball, 1v1, just take on the man, but obviously defensively be solid as well, and that's what I did. Lewis, how much did we see today, this evening, how much Graham Potter is trying to change things at Brighton and what he's trying to do?
I think you can see it's a big change. We're still adapting and I think that's probably the best we've dominated the game today. I think it's showing we're working hard and trained every week. We're working on teams and working on the way we want to play. So it shows out there today how much we've come on to control games and we just need to take it to that next level now and score the goals.
Last season was a bit of a fight to survive in the end, wasn't it? What do you feel this season has in store for you, playing this way?
Hopefully we won't be nail-biting stuff at the end of the season. Hopefully we'll be more comfortable and higher up the table where we want to be, and I think if we keep playing like this, we'll get there in the end.
Well, I know you want an expected three points, but well done on the one point and the clean sheet, of course. Stephen, you're the Premier League man of the match. Lewis, if you did the honours, please. Well done, guys. Thank you.
From the Brighton players to the Brighton head coach and Graham Potter joins us now. Graham, just listening to what the guys were saying there, they're saying if Brighton play like this for the rest of the season, it should be a bit more comfortable than it was last time around. Are you looking at the performance after this or are you looking at the inability to turn that possession and that amount of forward play into goals?
Well, looking at both is the truth. I thought we played well. The performance was good. We did a lot of what we wanted to do. But at the same time, you're always disappointed when you don't feel that you get maybe the reward.
