Steven Gerrard accepted responsibility for Liverpool allowing two points to slip against Wigan. The Liverpool skipper admits an attempted one-two with Paul Konchesky cost the Reds dear, with a misplaced pass leading to Hugo Rodallega cancelling out Fernando Torres' opener.
Gerrard is, however, happy with his form overall, with Liverpool having shown signs of recovery over recent weeks.
"I tried to play a one-two that, if it had come off, could have been a good move," he told the club's official website.
"You don't expect it to lead to a goal but, when it does, you have to take responsibility.
"Then when I went through on goal, I maybe struck my shot too well but I should have scored, I expected to. As we haven't taken maximum points, maybe people should point a finger at me.
"Besides those things, I'm happy with my form. After a fantastic win over Chelsea and having gone 1-0 up, of course we understand why people will be slightly disappointed."
Gerrard admits the effort required to claim a 2-0 victory over league leaders Chelsea on Sunday left Liverpool slightly drained for their midweek trip to the DW Stadium.
"Maybe our performance suffered after the energy and intensity we put into beating Chelsea," added Gerrard.
"You can often find that happening after you play a game 72 hours after a big fixture.
"But we have kept our unbeaten run going, Fernando has got another goal and there are other positives.
"It's going to be tough at Stoke (on Saturday) but we will have to stand up and fight, stick together and if we get a win, that would be a superb result. We will be ready for it."
