Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens says it is vital they provide a threat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.
Most observers have written off Brighton’s chances of stopping a City side who are still fighting on all four fronts as they look for an unprecedented quadruple.
Stephens says sitting back and trying to defend against a side with such talent for the whole match would be suicidal and he wants the Seagulls to pose their own problems.
Stephens told the Argus: “We have usually been quite good at soaking up a lot of pressure and hitting teams on the counter attack. “I will be happy to see something similar this weekend.

“You can do it for long spells but you have got to carry your own threat and have a release somewhere. “We take a bit of confidence from the times we have played them. “A little more concentration and a bit more of a threat from ourselves and maybe we will get something.”
