Martinez: We need to push on

Roberto Martinez says he and his players won't be resting on their laurels after their good start to the season, insisting that Everton need to push themselves in order to fulfil their potential.

The Spaniard maintains that his team's record so far, one that was an unbeaten one until their most recent game against Manchester City, merely represents a start and that they can't afford to let up.

"We are pleased with the start but it is only a start," he says in The Independent.

"We are in October and we will try to keep on growing, getting better and learning from experiences.

"We feel disappointed we dropped six important points in the opening three fixtures but now looking back what we need to do is carry on developing a way of playing which is going to be consistent and strong throughout he season.

"The squad is ready to do that and that is our next target; to concentrate on Saturday and make sure we carry on with the level of performance we have shown this season.

"In the league from winning to drawing there are more details and that is probably the difference that we have from earlier in the season.

"But we haven't done anything to sit back and relax.

"Now is when we really need to push ourselves and make sure we fulfil our potential, which I feel as a squad of players is huge."

Three wins, three draws and that solitary defeat mean that the Blues sit four points off the summit of the table and two points behind Chelsea in third place going into this weekend's home clash with Hull City.
