Scott Parker, the manager of Burnley, claims that his side “lacked belief” as they lost to Brighton in their ninth of 11 Premier League games.

Georginio Rutter and Yasin Ayari’s goals gave the hosts a comfortable victory on the south coast, but the Clarets struggled to overcome.

Parker’s side now sits 19th in the table, six points from safety, after only two points from the final 33 on offer.

Parker also gave a dreadful assessment of his team’s most recent performance, not having won with his team since October 26.

“I believed we were extremely poor. He claimed that the game “did not deserve anything.”

“We’ve been competitive and the result has not gone our way,” I said as I stood there during other games.

At the Amex Stadium, Burnley only managed three attempts to get the ball home, and their defensive errors made their lack of threat worse.

Josh Cullen’s absence, who is out for the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the team’s 0-0 draw against Everton on December 27, also made a sharp impression in a listless midfield display on a day where a despondent Parker could take few positives.

What we need is what was before, Parker said.

Although the outcomes have not been in our favor, we have been working toward certain goals and making real progress. We will likely lose matches, but losing them today was unkind and unacceptable in itself. We must react without a doubt.

The saving grace is that, regardless of the circumstances, if we perform as we did today, regardless of the circumstances, we won’t receive enough points to stay up.

Hjalmar Ekdal, a Sweden international, echoed Parker’s sentiments in a statement to Sky Sports, saying: “I think today is worse than previous games.

This game is not our way of being defined or what we value. We were weak as a team, not there, and lacking in conviction.
