According to Richard Keys, Roberto De Zerbi ought to be under pressure at Brighton if Steve Cooper is at Nottingham Forest. Sean Dyche’s Everton defeated Cooper’s Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday despite a subpar effort from the team. Cooper’s future is already under scrutiny due to the Tricky Trees’ poor play, and a strong candidate has emerged to take his position.
De Zerbi’s Brighton fell 3-2 against Chelsea on Sunday, extending the Seagulls’ dismal Premier League record. Keys believes that if Cooper is feeling pressured, then the Italian player most likely is as well.
Keys stated, “[For Brighton] it’s one win in eight, that win at Forest last week,” during the Chelsea game’s last moments on beIN SPORTS. Steve Cooper is facing criticism for his meagre output of one out of ten. I’m not sure how the two differ. Cooper [like De Zerbi at Brighton] should have a lot of credit in the bank.”
When Nottingham Forest plays Fulham on Wednesday night, Cooper desperately needs a win for his team to stay six points above the bottom three.
