Everton boss David Moyes feels they've underperformed at times this season.
Everton have finally shaken off their tag as slow starters after a strong first half of the campaign and can leapfrog Chelsea with victory over Rafa Benitez's men today.
If they can continue in the same vein for the rest of the term, they should be well in contention for a Champions League place.
Moyes said: "I think we have done okay. I think we have played well at times. I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get a few more victories when we maybe could.
"But we have been on a pretty good run and are pretty consistent in what we do. I can't ask for an awful lot more. The players have done really well."
