Albion’s flowing football is earning them in-game praise from the players trying to stop them.

But they will keep their feet on the ground and minds firmly on the tasks at hand as they prepare for another home test.

The Seagulls face Everton at the Amex on Monday after beating Wolves and Manchester United.

Adam Webster has made his delight at those very different wins clear and revealed opponents have been paying them compliments in recent matches.

He said: “Every team we play against always praise us on the pitch if there is a stoppage in the game or whatever.

“(Anthony) Martial was saying to me how well we were playing.

“(Raheem) Sterling and (Conor) Gallagher at Chelsea did it a couple of weeks back.

“I think we were 1-0 down or 1-1 at the time and he (Sterling) was saying we should have been 5-1 up.

“When it comes from players like that it shows the work we are doing.

“The way the manager has got us playing is amazing.”

Webster said there was little time to celebrate the momentous late win over United.

He added: “It was huge to get back-to-back wins.

“We haven’t done that for a while in the league.

“When you do that, it is so important. You can really kick on.

“To be honest, our focus is already on Monday.

“As much as that was an amazing win and we want to enjoy it, we can’t really because we have got another game on Monday.

“It is all about recovering and going again.”

Webster knows Albion will be expected to beat an Everton side who are in the relegation zone.

But football followers of a certain vintage will be aware the Toffees, whatever their situation, never go down – and always find a way of digging themselves out of trouble.

Albion will be on guard but confident in their own abilities all the same.

Asked whether they can target the top four after beating United, Webster said: “It is quite far away but we have got to play some of the big boys up there.

“If we won all six then who knows but for us we are fully focussed on Monday already.

“They are fighting for their lives and it won’t be an easy game at all.”

United were clearly up for the task on Thursday but Albion passed a major test.

They did so playing with intensity and showing off their sharp and incisive passing.

Webster puts that down to working on their methods every day in training with that same word – intensity.

He said of Roberto De Zerbi: “I think he has got everything. Tactically he is so aware and so good in how he gets us playing.

“He has got that charisma about him.

“You definitely know when he comes into the room and it’s so important as a player.

“And he has got that relationship with the players.

“It’s not all serious. You can have a laugh and a joke with him.

“He works relentlessly and want the best for us.

“Normally a new manager means the old manager hasn’t done very well.

“But we were in a good place when he came in.

“At the start we didn’t change too much, it was a work in progress.

“Over time we have got to where we are now.

“That is down to a lot of hours on the training pitch and a lot of work.

“Everyone buying into it and you see some of the young boys playing tonight.

“Moises (Caicedo) playing out of position.

“Everyone buys into it, everyone is doing it for the team.”
