Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez feels his team is now coming together.

Their goalless draw against Liverpool - having held Chelsea 1-1 at the weekend - took the Latics' haul from six matches to nine points, with just one defeat in that time.

"We have a bit of belief and a bit of momentum - more than we had five weeks ago," said the Spaniard.

"In that period of eight defeats we did many good things individually but we never reached a level as a team with real belief and confidence and understanding of each other which allows you to play well and get the result.

"I only think we have played badly twice this season and that is something for us to adjust.

"The other games we have played well but it is not enough to play well - you have to be ruthless, defend like lions when you have to and be a team and we showed all those attributes against Liverpool and that makes me proud.

"We keep working on the training ground and growing as a team and that allows us to have nights like yesterday.

"As a football club we want to be in the best league in the world and to have the two performances we have had against Chelsea and Liverpool I am sure the fans will be extremely proud."
