It has been a nightmare start to the season for the Toffees, with them rooted to the bottom of the table with just three points from their opening six games.
David Moyes' side were tipped to be challenging for a European place after a strong end to their last season, but they must turn their fortunes around quickly if they are going to be in with a shout.
Everton managed to hold Fulham to a goalless draw at Craven Cottage in what was their third draw of the season,
And the Spanish maestro admitted that they were working hard in training to try to gain a result in a tough away fixture against Birmingham this weekend.
"We don't deserve to be where we are at the moment by the way we've been playing," Arteta said.
"But at the same time we haven't been able to hold the results, so we need to try and change the way we play and to try to get the points.
"The spirit at the moment is that we need to get back to getting wins and getting the points.
"But at the same time we've been doing a lot of things right and we've been playing some really good stuff. But we haven't been able to keep the clean sheets and score enough goals to win the games.
"So that is something we've been training really hard for in the last couple of weeks so I think we saw an improvement after the defeat against Newcastle.
"At Fulham we deserved to win the game, and I know it's tough against Birmingham, but we need the points now."
