Gary McAllister admits Aston Villa have underachieved this season and will not use all the changes which have taken place during the past nine months as an excuse.
Villa will bring the curtain down on a campaign in which four different managers have been at the helm - Martin O'Neill, caretaker Kevin MacDonald, Gerard Houllier and now stand-in boss McAllister.
They have been hovering above the relegation zone for most of the season after three top-six finishes in a row.
McAllister knows they have to improve on that but can also see grounds for optimism ahead of the final game with Liverpool at Villa Park.
He said: "It has most definitely not been a successful season. This place is geared for better than that.
"It has been a massive season of change and you can maybe look for that as an excuse - but we don't see it as an excuse. It's been disappointing.
