"In the last couple of games, we played really well, but in the final third we couldn't find the killer pass," Brendan Rodgers told
"Maybe that is a lack of energy because of the number of games we've played - the speed of our attacking combinations is not quite as we want it. Our heart and effort is there though."
Villa stay 15th but, after a torrid run of form, Gerrard said this first goalless draw of the season offered a "good base", while captain Mings acknowledged it was "important to put the losing streak to bed".
