The Seagulls were silenced 3-1 by the Magpies at St. James Park with Jack Hinshelwood getting their lone strike on the hour mark.
Despite that setback, he maintained there was always belief they could turn the game around, highlighting the volume of chances created throughout the match.
“You could say it was dramatic. We dominated the game. We started the game well, had two good chances and then Newcastle scored out of nowhere,” said Hurzeler.
“Then the second goal is from a set-piece and we lost our overall structure. But we always had the feeling that we could win this game, we created so much.
“We shouldn’t have conceded so easily, we should manage the key moments of the game better. On the other side we created so many chances so we have to be more ruthless.
“When we focus on the performance, you don’t see a lot of teams dominating here like we did. We will take away the positives, we will analyse the game too, because in certain key moments we weren’t at our standards, we have to show personality and character and then we try to bounce back.”
