Roberto Martinez has said that Everton need to be "more aware" of their performances in order to climb up the Premier League table.
The Toffees have won just four of their first 14 matches in the league this season, having been held to six draws so far, leaving them 11th in the table.
The manager told reporters: "The truth is this season has been intense, it has good in the way we have been tested over the first part of the season and I believe that will help us in the second half of the campaign.
"Have we got the points we deserved? Probably not but we need to address that. We are disappointed to have had draws where we should have won and we feel if we do the right things we will get the rewards.
"We need to be a bit more aware of the performances and at certain moments of the game we need to control the ball better and sharpen up our performance and once we do that it will help us get those wins."
Everton travel to Manchester City this weekend.
