Steven Gerrard admitted he shared supporters' growing frustration after he was booed off the pitch after losing a third game in four.

The attacking midfielder gives Moyes options up front and adds to a growing squad of internationals in east London. We would like to be playing much better we are in the middle of trying to change some players around and see whether we can keep up with the big boys.” We share our supporters' frustration and there is no one more frustrated than me but the players have to stay together and find results now to move up the table.” And he insisted they remain a side in transition having added players to a squad that punched well above their weight last season.

It was a game of fine margins which Villa simply couldn't afford to lose with fixtures against leaders Arsenal and champions Manchester City to follow this week. With plenty to mull over for Gerrard, here are the main talking points from the defeat at Villa Park.... Lucas Digne's in-swinging corner was adjudged to have gone out of play before the centre-back reacted at the far post to tap in from Coutinho's header, which hit the woodwork.

Former Premier League winner Chris Sutton has posed a major question of Steven Gerrard's role as Aston Villa manager.

In their next home game they take on league leaders Man City. Dean Smith must be thinking he was hard done by bearing in mind where Villa are at right now since Steven Gerrard took over. “Dean Smith must be thinking he was hard done by bearing in mind where Villa are at right now since Steven Gerrard took over,” he

Gerrard will hope to turn his team's fortunes around quickly but has a tricky week of fixtures ahead, as well as juggling the impending transfer deadline.
