Aston Villa did not show the poise necessary to beat Liverpool at Villa Park in the Premier League on Monday.

That is according to a frustrated Tyrone Mings, with the defender outlining his team's issues post-game.

Villa were spirited throughout the contest, but were beaten 3-1 by a more clinical Liverpool.

After the match, Mings told reporters, per the Express and Star: “Tonight is frustrating because we didn't manage to put the ball in the net as much as we'd have liked.

“But that's not me saying the attackers need to be better because we should've defended better as well.

“We conceded some poor goals. They're a fantastic team but any team, if you give them that amount of chances, are going to score at some point.

“I don't think it was a case of them being too strong for us. I think we maybe should have defended better for the goals."
