Everton captain Phil Neville says they're now showing true grit.
Neville believes the team have displayed the kind of attitude in adversity which has allowed them to flourish in previous years.
"The teams around us are all scrapping too, and maybe we have to go back to three or four years ago when we had to grind out results," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"This club is ingrained in that kind of spirit and that's what the manager wants from us now.
"On the quiet we're developing a nice little run."
