(Reuters) - Everton's squad must stick together amid an eight-match winless run in the Premier League, manager Rafa Benitez said on Friday, stressing that their dip in form was not due to a lack of commitment.

Wednesday's 4-1 defeat by local rivals Liverpool condemned 14th-placed Everton to their third straight loss and sixth in seven matches to heap the pressure on the Spanish manager, who had an illustrious past with the team's Merseyside neighbours.
