Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford felt confidence was the problem for defeat at Southampton.
The Blues were dealt a blow in their quest to climb the Premier League table as second-half goals from Stuart Armstrong and Shane Long consigned the visitors to defeat at St Mary's.
"I think we started really well," said Pickford. "The first 10 minutes we had a couple of chances, but we just couldn't continue that and we let Southampton grow into the game. We know, at their place, what a good team they are.
"It was a disappointing because we've had a couple of good results at Goodison since the new manager has come in. We just need to gel away from home – we can't just rely on home games.
"It's about coming away, standing up and getting results. We wanted to come away with something today, but Southampton were the better side.
"I think they grew into the game better than us. Unfortunately, it wasn't our day, but as a group of players, we have to keep working hard on the training pitch and pick up results.
"We've got City next week – they're the best team in the league but it's about us being a unit and having that togetherness home and away to pick those results up."
