PAUL KONCHESKY has admitted he was to blame for the goal which condemned Liverpool to defeat at Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.[LNB]The 29-year-old left-back was caught out by Aaron Lennon's stoppage-time burst and was quick to accept responsibility afterwards, whilst also admitting he is still adapting to life on Merseyside following his summer switch from Fulham.[LNB]'Straight after I knew that I'd have to hold my hands up,' said Konchesky, 'But we also had chances to win the game. That's part of football and we've got to try and take the positives out of the game.[LNB]'I was gutted (with the winning goal). Being the last minute as well, it didn't give us any time to get back into the game. But that's life, we've got to put it behind us, and I've got to put it behind myself for the next game.'[LNB] Konchesky has established himself as first-choice at Anfield since he followed manager Roy Hodgson from Craven Cottage in August, but the former Charlton, Spurs and West Ham man says he is still learning about the demands of being a Liverpool player.[LNB]'It's taken me a while to settle, and I got injured early on so I'm just getting back to playing at full fitness now,' he said.
