Everton skipper Phil Jagielka feels that the Toffees need to iron out a few things to improve their defensive record in the Premier League.
The Toffees have the third-best goal-scoring record in the Premier League this season, but their leaky defence has cost them a lot of points as they sit 11th in the league table.
Regarding the defence of the Goodison Park outfit, captain Jagielka said: "It has been difficult but it is not just down to the defenders. Some of the goals we conceded could have been stopped at source, so it is frustrating.
"It has been a test of character. We have a lot of young lads, who have not been here a long time, and it is all part of their character growing at such a great club.
"There is no panic button being pressed but there are a few things that need working on. We need to iron those little things out now, and have a progressive second half of the season. We are getting stronger and stronger with more experience."
