Everton veteran Ashley Young admits the responsibility is on the team to ensure they avoid relegation.
The Toffees are in the drop zone due to the ten point deduction they were given by the Premier League.
While Young acknowledges that appeals and further financial breaches charges are troubling, the players can only try to win games on the field.
I think everything is in the back of our minds but we have got a job in hand to do and that was to try and win the game," said Young to reporters after a battling 2-2 draw against Tottenham.
Everything is out of our hands apart from what we go and do on the pitch and that is to win games. That is all we can do.
We were losing but it showed the team spirit that we have got. Everyone is pulling in the right direction and everyone is on board with the manager's ideas and his vision for the club.
We want to make it tough for every team to come here. We have got to worry about what we do and not other teams and that is to get wins on the board."
