Gerard Houllier has said that he is still confident that the team can come back from their bad run of form. Villa boss Gerard Houllier remained upbeat despite the defeat leaving his side hovering dangerously four points above the relegation zone.
"I think it is a poor result, but not a poor performance," the Frenchman told BBC Sport.
"The mistake was made was conceding a second goal, after that we knew it was difficult. We got a goal and probably deserved an equaliser which we didn't get. "
Villa have been linked with bids for Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Vela in the January transfer window.
