Everton defender Conor Coady says they must address last night's defeat at Newcastle.
The Blues lost 1-0 on Tyneside.
Assessing the match, Coady says the Blues must show a stronger desire to convert pressure into goals after an improved second-half display.
"A ruthless streak, a goal [was missing]," he told evertontv. "We needed to push as a team - all of us. We need to be ruthless, we need to be relentless with it.
"I thought we had 10-15 minutes before half-time where they got the goal and it became a bit panicky but you're going to come to places like this and be under that pressure, you have to withstand it. We have to be strong enough as a team to withstand that and we stayed in the game.
"We had the ball [in the second half] but we needed to score, it's as simple as that. As a team, I don't think we did enough to do that.
"We need to get through a tough patch. We can't dwell on this... What we have to do is learn from it as quickly as possible because we need to stop this little bit of a run we're on at the minute and get back to our best."
