Sousa wants more from new side
Stephen Dobbie's brace and a first-half strike from Garry Monk handed Sousa his first competitive win in charge of the Swans.
Monk opened the scoring in the 16th minute after the defender reacted quickest to head home after Alan Tate flicked Andrea Orlandi's free-kick on to the post.
The Swans spurned several chances to increase their lead through Nathan Dyer and Mark Gower before Scottish striker Dobbie opened his account with a double after the break.
Dobbie, who made the summer switch to south Wales from Queen of the South on a free, fired home following Orlandi's left-wing cross on the hour mark before sealing a convincing win in injury-time with a deft finish.
But Swansea boss Sousa was far from content with his side's display.
Sousa said: "It was a good result but I'm not 100% happy with the performance.
"We are building as a team but we can improve. 3-0 is not always a good performance.
"I care about the club and the squad. Of course, we need new players but not as many as seven or eight. Some players have come in and done well.
"We are missing quality players and important ones like Darren Pratley, Ferrie Bodde and Joe Allen. We have also lost 40 goals and it is not easy.
"It will take time but we will get better and better."
Both sides began their league campaigns with defeat, Swansea going down 2-1 at Leicester while Brighton suffered a 1-0 home loss to Walsall.
In response, Sousa made five changes after leaving the Walkers Stadium empty-handed with Dobbie, Jordi Lopez and Orlandi stepping up from the bench while Federico Bessone and Matty Collins occupied the full-back berths.
Adam Virgo had the chance to level a minute after Monk had opened the scoring but the former Celtic centre-back saw his header drift wide.
Brighton manager Russell Slade made a double substitution at the break, introducing Adam El-Abd and Mark Wright.
But despite the changes, the visitors failed to inject any life into a disappointing display as Swansea increased their lead.
Dobbie's initial effort ricocheted off a Brighton defender but Swansea's newest hitman was sharp enough to poke home the rebound.
Then Dobbie latched on to Guillem Bauza's cross to coolly flick the ball over Kuipers in injury-time to seal a fine personal evening's work.
Brighton skipper Adam Virgo admitted: "We're disappointed but we won't be facing Championship sides like Swansea week in, week out. Now it's time to concentrate on the league."
