Liverpool defender Paul Konchesky has taken responsibility for his side’s 2-1 Premier League loss to Tottenham on Sunday.
The Reds left-back allowed Aaron Lennon a free pathway to goal in second-half injury time at White Hart Lane, before the Spurs winger struck the winner to deny Roy Hodgson’s men what would have been a hard-earned point.
“Straight after (the goal) I knew that I’d have to hold my hands up, but we also had chances to win the game,” Konchesky told the club’s official website.
“That’s part of football and we’ve got to try and take the positives out of the game. I was gutted. 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.”
Despite sitting mid-table, Konchesky thinks Liverpool are starting to gel under Roy Hodgson’s tenure at Anfield.
“I can see signs that we’re starting to play in the style he wants,” the former Fulham defender said.
“The more we work on it on the training ground, the more the players get used to what the manager wants.”
“We’re taking it into games. The performances have been of a much higher standard in the last two games.”
