Australia international Tim Cahill is adamant that the current Everton squad is too good to be relegated.
Sunday's 2-0 derby defeat to Liverpool at Goodison Park left David Moyes' side just three points above the relegation zone and they have won just one of their last eight Premier League matches.
Midfielder Cahill remains upbeat though, saying:"I think that's the best we've played in a while. Our passing was good, we made lots of space with our movement and had two disallowed goals.
"We were strong from corners too. It's hard to take but at this stage it's not going to get any easier. We're in a lot of trouble – the only way we can get out of it is by playing and working our way out of it.
"But we're too good to be in this position. It's just one of those things and nothing's going to fix it except our mental attitude as individuals and a team.
"I'm a lot more positive though – we played better football and had a much better attitude. We couldn't hit a barn door at the minute but I'm much happier with our approach.
"It's the overall attitude and mental toughness that counts. The attitude against Hull wasn't good enough but yesterday it was a lot better and we will keep fighting."
