Liverpool and Gerrard acknowledge failings


(Reuters) - Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has rarely suffered criticism in an illustrious career but accepted he deserved some flak for his below par performance on Saturday - even if manager Brendan Rodgers did not agree.

Rodgers is attempting to transform the 33-year-old into a deep-lying midfielder but Gerrard was overrun in the role by Aston Villa's youthful and energetic lineup in Saturday's 2-2 English Premier League draw at Anfield.
