Bournemouth captain Neto admits defeat at home to Brighton is a blow.
The result has them in the bottom three on goal difference.
Neto said: "We are disappointed with the result. We knew they are a really good team, it wasn't easy playing against them. We created our opportunities, many chances. To lose 2-0 is a little disappointing. "When we create and couldn't score against a good team, it is not easy because they have the ball for a lot of time, we spend a lot physically. This is football, it frustrates because one win can change everything for us.
"I think they have a very good feel of the game, I spoke with many players of other clubs as well and all players say the same. They have quality players and a very good idea of football."
On whether Bournemouth can stay up, he added: "If we keep this level, 100%. Not all teams play like Brighton, and we created chances against a very good team. The situation is not the best but we have a big game Saturday [vs Leicester] and have to play like we did today."
