“I have to accept decisions, even if I don’t think they are right.
“But for me it is not a problem. The problem is to win the game tomorrow, with me or not on the bench. Nothing has changed. But I consider the decision not right.
“I think I can’t change, and I think I didn’t make mistakes [in terms of] respect or bad words. But I’d prefer to stay in my place, and my place is on the bench.”
The Seagulls are currently eighth in the Premier League, six points adrift of the European places albeit with a game in hand on fifth-placed Newcastle United.
