De Zerbi got destroyed by Roma.

Wasn't he supposed to be the new Guardiola Roll Eyes

De Zerbi have had his moments from time to time this season but he just keeps getting his ass handed to him every other day.

With 4-0 thumping from Roma, I doubt the possibility of Brighton doing anything significant to alter the qualification results. At best, a 1-0 or 2-1 win or even a flat draw. He shouldn't have allowed Roma to get the upper hand in the tie.

Excuses. The premier league is just not as difficult as people mae it seem. Everybody said Roma didn't stand a chance against Brighton. I remember saying here that both teams stand a chance to win. Even I didn't expect it to be so easy for Roma.
This further proves the misconception that the premier league is harder than other leagues.

I have gone through your argument and while some points are valid, I still maintain my beliefs that the Premier league is the most challenging league in the world. Aside the fact that Brighton and Villa are mid teams at best, even top tier clubs like Liverpool gets steady thumping from Real Madrid in the UCL. There was a time Spanish teams and Bayern in the Bundesliga dominated the UCL and EPL teams don't even make the quarter finals.

But it doesn't change the fact that a lot of players who have it easy in other leagues come into the premier league and struggle real hard. Even though EPL players struggle too but the percentage is less compared to other leagues.
