Midfielder Mikel Arteta urges Everton FC to rediscover scoring touch
Mikel Arteta 300[LNB]MIKEL ARTETA insists Everton must find their composure in front of goal if they are to arrest an alarming early season slump.[LNB]The Spaniard believes this current team are far superior to the side he joined back in 2005 - but feels they must start showing it soon.[LNB]Despite only picking up two of a potential 15 points up for grabs in the Premier League, and a third round exit from the Carling Cup, Arteta is confident they are close to rediscovering a successful formula.[LNB]He said: 'This team is miles away (from the one that was here when I signed), but at the moment we're not showing it with our results. We need to be patient and we need to keep doing a lot of the things that we are doing.[LNB] 'The difference has been what has happened in both boxes and we need to improve,' he added. 'We have conceded goals through mistakes and we haven't been able to put the ball in the net when we've had the chance.[LNB]'Football is about goals. We're dominating the games, we're playing good football and creating chances but that's not been enough to win the games at the moment. It seems like every time somebody gets a chance (against us) they put it in the top corner.[LNB]'We need to stand up and we need to show our character now. I know it's tough and we've got some tough games coming up. It is not going to be easy but we have to start winning now.'
