Steven Gerrard: 'I won't feel sorry for myself' - Aston Villa boss believes he can turn form around

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard says he will not "feel sorry for myself" as he looks to steer the club away from the Premier League relegation zone.

The former Liverpool midfielder was jeered after Villa's defeat by Chelsea on Sunday, but he insists he has "total trust" in himself and his players.

"The outcome was a defeat but we'll take the positives," said Gerrard.

Appointed as Dean Smith's successor last November, Gerrard led Villa to Premier League safety but the club's fanbase has grown increasingly disgruntled this season after just two wins this term.
