Steven Gerrard has called on his Aston Villa players to 'stand up and be counted' after the loss to Watford on Saturday.
The result leaves Villa sitting 12th in the Premier League table, after a run of just one win in eight matches.
He said: "In previous games we have had that creativity, that inventiveness, we have looked exciting in a lot of games.
"But after the last two I need to demand more from the players in the final third. We are getting into crossing positions, we are getting in and down the sides.
"We had 20 shots on goal on Saturday but only managed one on target. For me that is a quality issue. That has to come from within the dressing room.
"We have really talented players, so it has to come from within. People have got to stand up and be counted. I will take the heat and the pressure. The responsibility is on me, of course it is. But when it is a quality issue in the final third it has got to come from the dressing room as well."
