Walker said afterwards from Falmer stadium: "We were a bit late to the game, but I think that's the period we're going through at the moment. The international break came at the right time. There are a lot of reasons. How you feel day by day. It's tough, but we've been lucky enough to have a lot of success here over the last eight years.
"You have to show character. You have to put on your wellies and deal with the mud. Brighton have a philosophy and a foundation that they've built at the club, but we're Manchester City.
"We're the reigning champions and we should come here and get a result."
