Zuiverloon condemns 'unacceptable' performance

The defender Gianni Zuiverloon admits West Bromwich need to find the winning habit quickly if they are to survive in the Premier League after branding the performance at Fulham on Sunday as "not acceptable".

Albion have collected only one point from their last four games and were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Roy Hodgson's side – their 10th away defeat in 13 games. They now face Everton away on Saturday before entertaining Arsenal on Tuesday.

Zuiverloon said: "We need to start winning. It doesn't matter how. We just need the points. We need to try to win all our home games and some away games, too. We can cause an upset at Everton. We have enough quality to win some games against teams people wouldn't expect us to beat. We have to focus on away points, too – but it needs belief from everyone."

Zuiverloon added: "We know Sunday's performance was not acceptable. We lost to a better team. But if you don't believe you shouldn't be playing football. We still have a chance and we know we can do it [escape relegation]."

The West Bromwich midfielder Filipe Teixeira is a major fitness doubt for the trip to Goodison Park. Teixeira suffered a fractured toe during the Fulham defeat in what was his first top-flight start. It was the latest injury setback for the player who spent eight months on the sidelines with knee ligament damage. The Albion manager, Tony Mowbray, wants Teixeira to have rejoined training by tomorrow to give him any chance of being able to face the Toffees. "Whether Filipe trains on Thursday, we'll have to wait and see. The main injury he's got at the moment is a fractured toe," he said.

Captain Jonathan Greening and Jonas Olsson are both back in light training after knee problems but Mowbray said he will not rush either of them back and risk losing them for longer. He said: "I don't think either Jonno or Jonas have got a chance for the weekend [even though] they're both coming on really well."

Greening has been out since the FA Cup match against Burnley on 24 January while Olsson has not featured since the League meeting with Aston Villa on 10 January.
