da dobrowin: Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier was disappointed with his young team's display in the 2-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers that left them in the bottom half of the table.
da winzada777: Morten Gamst Pedersen netted in each half to extend Villa's dismal away record and Houllier had few complaints with the final result at Ewood Park.
He admitted after the loss:"I don't think we gave a fair account of ourselves. We had a couple of chances in the first half and, when you are away from home, you need to take those chances, otherwise you can be punished.
"We then conceded a goal probably at the worst moment in the game, in (first-half) added time.
"It puts you in a different position because you know they are then going to play deeper and more defensive, and deny us space.
"The second goal was just a tactical mistake, so the difference between the two teams was a free-kick by Pedersen and a corner.
"We showed better initiative and passing afterwards and, had we scored, maybe it would have changed the morale of the team – but of course we didn't."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
