Mikel Areta is hoping Everton manager David Moyes can find a new striker signing this month.
Although Moyes cannot afford the type of striker which could catapult them from mid-table to Champions League qualification contenders, Arteta said the players will not complain about the lack of resources.
He said: "I think we had some really good games without any end product - that is the biggest criticism we could have.
"Not getting the points and not closing the games when we have had the chance makes it a harder season because it means you've not won enough games, we have drawn too many.
"But David Moyes he doesn't want anyone complaining about how sorry we feel because we haven't had the money to spend or we have players injured.
"He says 'Take it as it comes' and we have to go out there and do what we are paid to do. We need goals, goals and more goals.
"The difference in football is to have someone scoring 20 to 25 goals a season. Probably that will be enough.
"Physically it is a really tough league. The difference between the teams is so small, everyone is beating everyone.
"The title is open, relegation is open, European qualification is open."
