Everton boss David Moyes insists their top four hopes remain intact after drawing against Southampton.
Moyes' frustration led to a vastly improved performance after the break and his players may even have snatched all three points had the usually predatory Nikica Jelavic not squandered a gilt-edged chance.
"We got better after we had a word at half-time," said Moyes. "The chance for Nikica Jelavic was a real big chance but we are a little bit like that at the moment.
"This time last year we were stealing the goals but it will come.
"We are in a good position and we have as much chance of anyone of getting that fourth spot."
