Leighton Baines has warned Everton teammates not to dwell on their current situation.
Sunday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Birmingham City has left David Moyes’s side hovering just two points above the relegation zone after winning just one of their last 11 Premier League games.
"There is a feeling of frustration because Birmingham was another game that we feel we should have taken the three points,” left-back Baines told the Daily Post.
“We started so well but we are conceding goals and it is taking a lot out of us. We have to keep our heads up. We have come away with another point so it is not a complete disaster.”
Baines admits that Everton’s worryingly porous backline – they have kept only one clean sheet in 17 games – and brittle confidence are affecting performances.
“The games are coming thick and fast now so we can’t afford to have our heads down,” he said. “We have got to be as confident as we can in order to get the victories.
“Sadly when things aren’t going your way your confidence does take a step back especially when you allow the opposition to get a goal. That showed against Birmingham when they equalised.”
