MIKEL ARTETA admitted Everton have scrutinised every aspect of their game as they bid to overcome their current bottom of the table malaise.[LNB]Prompted by a manager with a painstaking eye for detail, the Spaniard said that the Blues have left nothing unchecked as they try and put things right on the training ground.[LNB]But he warned that recent visits to Birmingham City's St Andrews ground, where they go tomorrow, have emphasised that any mistakes by the away team can be costly.[LNB] The 28-year-old play-maker said: 'You try to do everything you can to get better. Every single detail at the moment is really important, so that's what we're working on.[LNB]'It's very frustrating to see yourself in that situation and I don't believe that we deserve to be where we are at the moment, but that's football sometimes, so we need to keep doing things right, and keep improving on what we've been doing really well.[LNB]'We were disappointed after the Fulham game; I think we should have won the game. We controlled it really well, and we kept a clean which was the first time this season, so hopefully we can build from there and get the three points on Saturday.[LNB]'Birmingham are really organised, they work really hard to get that, and it's a tough ground to get the three points - but it's not going to be an easy game for them as well.'
