Dwight McNeil acknowledged Everton’s attacking confidence is low and costing the side right now, but stated the group must stick together as they prepare for the final 10 games of the campaign:

“We had a lot of chances but didn’t score a goal. We get a lot of chances but we just aren’t getting the final bit right - scoring goals. That’s hurting us at the minute and we aren’t picking points up because we can’t find the back of the net. We try and work on it every day. We getting there in the games, those final moments, I had a few chances and should have scored definitely one I think. I put a lot of pressure on myself but we had other chances and we didn’t take them and we got punished.”
