David Moyes bemoaned a lacklustre display from Everton following the 2-1 defeat to Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Peter Crouch scored with two headers to give Pompey a vital victory after Leighton Baines had broken the deadlock early on.
Moyes was unhappy with Pompey's opening goal but offered no excuses for his side's overall performance.
The Toffees had been in fine form in recent matches and Moyes was surprised and disappointed with the way his men played.
He said: "When we got in front we should have been going for a second goal instead of handing the initiative back to Portsmouth.
"We lacked spirit and punch throughout the match. It was one of those games, I just didn't feel as if I could see those qualities.
"I don't think it should have been a corner in the build-up to their second goal but we still failed to defend it.
"This game has been a big disappointment, but the previous 17 or 18 were not too bad."
Moyes also refused to hide behind the injury problems that have plagued Everton throughout the season.
He added: "We have had injuries, but every club has had them.
"The squad isn't really big enough but there isn't much I can do about that right now."
