Houllier: We didn't give a fair account

Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier was disappointed after his side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Blackburn. Morten Gamst Pedersen scored twice but Houllier felt the defeat owed more to his players' inability to make the most of their opportunities to score. "I don't think we gave a fair account of ourselves," Houllier said. "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."
