Izzy Christiansen on Leicester City motivation and 'special' Everton moment after Aston Villa win

Things have definitely picked up in the squad following the win over Aston Villa last week.

We knew collecting a couple of wins would definitely improve the feeling amongst the group and that is what it has done in the short-term.

But we want to make that feeling stay, so it is important we keep winning football matches and that is what we are fully focused on now.

The next game this weekend is at home to Leicester City at Walton Hall Park, so we are really looking forward to that one and hoping we can capitalise on the momentum we have created already.

VERDICT: Everton are facing the unthinkable after disgraceful defeat

OBITUARY: Gordon Lee was a fine football man whose Everton legacy deserves new perspective

ANALYSIS: What Everton players did at half-time spoke volumes as alarming combination emerges

We’ve said it, frustrations from the outside in terms of the results haven’t been pulled together as much, then on the inside we are football players and we all want to win football matches.

We know we have not been good enough yet and we fully accept responsibility for that - and we have looked at ourselves and had some harsh words.

But we have worked really, really hard, and I think credit to the group, everyone worked really, really hard to grab on to a winning mentality.

Everyone is really putting an extra few yards in during training and the challenge now is to keep on doing that.

Shout out to our special supporters

We’re really hoping we are going to get a massive crowd behind us on Saturday night at Walton Hall.

It is a really good time and chance to come and watch us and with the men not playing until the next day, we have got a bit of an Everton weekender ahead.

We’re really looking forward to it and hoping to see as many Evertonians down there as possible.

I just want to shout out to the fans who made the trip down to Walsall against Aston Villa on Wednesday night last week.

Watching the game back and listening to their voices and in full song was just incredible, and after the game a real special moment between the players and fans.

And I woke up this morning thinking about that moment because that was my motivator for this morning’s training session was our fans.

I thought to myself that was a really special time for us to connect with the fans and one that we haven’t really had yet this season.

So I think that was a really special time for us. We have got to hold on to that and get more of them and stay hungry for it.
