Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso admits they need to improve if they are to challenge for honours at the end of the season.
The Reds were held to their third successive draw after the 1-1 stalemate with Everton in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Rafa Benitez's men have lost top spot in the Premier League to Manchester United after dropping points to Stoke and Everton in recent weeks.
The recent run of form has raised question marks over Liverpool's title challenge, but Alonso is confident they can recapture their best form to keep their bid for success on track.
"We have to keep going, that is the way we have to carry on if we are to have success this season," he said.
"Being critical of ourselves we need to improve in certain areas.
"The performance (against Everton) was better than Monday. We controlled the game much better.
"Of course we are not happy with the mistake we made (conceding the goal) but it was better.
"It was a good ball (from Fernando Torres for the goal) but we had a few more chances to score a second goal and it is something we have to work on and correct.
"We are disappointed. We always expect to win home games but after they scored it was a difficult situation.
"The team kept playing the same way and trying to score and we were unlucky.
"We know he (Cahill) is good in those situations and for the future we will have to get that right.
"We are confident we can go to Goodison and win. We don't have to fear anyone. We respect them but you can't fear anyone."
