The 27-year-old feels his side can still pull off a great escape and avoid relegation from the top-flight for the first time since 1987.
Aston Villa captain Micah Richards says the club has not given up on securing Premier League survival, despite being cut adrift at the foot of the table.
Tuesday's 3-1 home defeat to Everton was Villa's 18th loss from 28 league games this season, leaving the club eight points adrift of safety with 10 fixtures remaining.
Villa has won just three top-flight matches in 2015-16, but skipper Richards still believes the club can still pull off a great escape.
