Roberto de Zerbi admitted depleted Brighton are dropping too many Premier League points following a frustrating 0-0 draw with Wolves.Albion dominated possession at the Amex Stadium as they stretched their unbeaten home run to a club-record nine top-flight fixtures to climb to seventh, above Manchester United on goal difference.But the Seagulls, who lacked a cutting edge on Monday evening, have drawn five of those fixtures and a league-high eight matches overall.Brighton boss De Zerbi feels a lengthy injury list and European commitments are impacting his side's league results."We have to understand the situation of injuries, we have to understand how much energy we spent in the Europa League, in FA Cup, we have to analyse if we will be lucky or unlucky," said the Italian, whose side drew 0-0 with West Ham in their previous game."In the last two games in the Premier League we have been unlucky because two points after two games with good quality to win the game, we are losing too many points."We have been unlucky because five draws [at home], for example Sheffield United, Burnley, Fulham and Wolverhampton, we deserved to win all of the games."We didn’t play the best game in my time but we created a condition to win the game."Yes, we made some mistakes in the crucial part of the pitch and for it we didn’t win."Brighton controlled the play against Wolves but rarely threatened.Facundo Buonanotte saw an early diving header cleared off the line by Tommy Doyle, while Wanderers captain Maximilian Kilman (above) hit the frame of his own goal.De Zerbi remains without the creative talents of Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra, Ansu Fati, Solly March and Julio Enciso but dismissed talk of recruiting reinforcements this month."No, transfer
