Everton midfielder Ross Barkley admits that his form has dipped this season following his breakthrough year at Goodison Park under Roberto Martinez last term.
The England international scored six goals in 34 appearances last season and helped his team to the fifth spot in the league. In contrast, this season he has only managed just two goals as his team languishes in 13th.
Of his 2014/15 shortcomings, Barkley told Premier League World: "From my point of view I haven't done as well as I know I can, but things like this happen.
"You have to go through bad days to get to the great days you have in your career.
"Everything's a learning curve. We haven't been going through the best period at the moment but we're going to come through this and be really good at the end of it.
"I don't feel pressure. I believe in myself and I know what I can do. It's not me feeling pressure, it's just me putting pressure on myself if I don't do my best, and I know I can do better.
"I just focus on getting better every day, putting things right in training and then hopefully what I'm doing right in training I'm going to show in games as well."
