Bit of a sickener, Tarkowski toldPrime Videowhen asked for his thoughts. I thought we were the better team, we implemented a style of play that we were all happy with, I thought we moved the ball well most of the time but then we got punished late on with a typical Wolves goal in a counter-attack.
We understand the frustration [of the fans] because the results arent good enough, but from my point of view, I thought we were the better side so we have to take positives from that and keep our heads up. Theres some experienced players in there so we need to get round the younger lads who maybe havent been in this situation before.
Were together as a group. We back the manager and he backs us. We have performed poorly at times this season but that definitely wasnt that. We were the better team and looking for the goal late on and just get punished, maybe we threw one too many bodies forward and got caught out.
Everton might not have needed to commit so heavily, had they taken one of several chances throughout the game.Anthony GordonNeal MaupayandAlex Iwobiwere all guilty of squandering decent chances while many others saw their final ball wanting.
Asked what Everton needed to turn the tide, Tarkowski added: Goals. If we put one of our chances away then I think wed have won the game comfortably. Obviously its going to be worrying from the outside, looking at results, but I look at my teammates and the way were playing and Ive got full belief in us to go out there and pick up wins.
We just need to keep sticking to what we do.
