Leon Osman says Everton are in good shape for a second-half season surge.
Yesterday's clash with Birmingham City was called off.
"We have to remember it has been a strange season and while we have not picked up the results we have wanted regularly enough, we are still not that far off the European places points wise," Osman told evertonfc.com.
"It is still all there to play for and hopefully we can put a real run together in the second half of the season.
"We need to start converting chances - that is the first thing. And once we do that, I think we will put a run together and end up nearer the top of the league. I am confident on that."
