Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart hopes they can regroup during the international break.
City have one win in six matches after drawing 2-2 at QPR on Saturday to sit eight points adrift of Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea.
"It was a tough game," goalkeeper Hart said.
"We struggled a bit, but we came back into it well and we did well to get the second goal.
"We stood up, quality shone through. We'd like to have won it, but we'll take the point.
"I'd like to think we're going to come back fresh. We're going to be together for a lot longer now - we haven't got an international break breaking us up over Christmas.
"We've got four months to really get our heads down and get ourselves into this league."
