Gylfi Sigurdsson has opened up about his targets for the season and the mentality of the Everton dressing room.

The Blues playmaker is suffering a slump in form at the moment as are a large part of Marco Silva 's squad which has seen the Toffees succumb to winning just twice since Boxing Day.

Sigurdsson said the players are not happy with the way things are going right now and the Iceland international also vowed to break his record of scoring 11 goals in a single Premier League season.

"It has been good to score the goals I have but I am targeting that record.

"I always set a goal target at the start of the season.

"Then I always get asked at the end of the campaign whether I have achieved it or not.

"I won't tell you what this one is, but I will tell you I want to beat 11."

The midfielder said he was excited about Everton 's future but also spoke about the squad not being happy with the recent results and the fact they are confident of finishing the season stronhgly.

"We've always felt we are doing the right things and we are working hard," he said.

"That's why it's so frustrating when you're not getting the results but I think the team is more than confident of finishing the season off really strongly.

"It's the manager's first season and when he came in he was going to want to make changes to the thinks he wants on top of the way we play, the team and how he wants to move the club forward in the future.

"It is a process when a new manager comes in and I think he's doing a very good job.

"It does take time, of course. As a club - as players and fans - we want to be higher up in the league. When we were sixth, I don't think any of the players were happy because it's about where you finish at the end of the season.

"We feel the same way at the moment; we're not happy. Our aim is to finish the season in a strong spot."

The Toffees now have an extended break without a game and are set to return to action away at Cardiff City on February 26.
