Everton defender Leighton Baines has insisted that the team must not look to change from their attacking brand of football.
The Toffees lost 4-1 at Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday as they attempted to take the game to Arsene Wenger's side.
Baines has claimed that Everton need to maintain their attacking intent despite the heavy defeat.
"When we're chasing the game and we go 2-1 down we try to attack. Always we try to attack because we're an attacking team but we've got to get the balance right so that we can't get countered on," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"The nature of our play is that we are a bit expansive at times but it's something we don't want to compromise on. We just want to get better at it, and ultimately that will lead us to getting better results.
"We're sticking to our guns and our style. We're buying into it and trying to improve every day. It's got to be a collective thing."
Everton host Cardiff City in the Premier League on Saturday.
