Boss Gary Rowett said improving defensively will be key to steering Leicester City away from the Championship relegation zone.
The Foxes came from behind to lead Stoke City with two minutes left, but conceded to draw 2-2.
"The players are devastated because they want to win games of football," Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester.
"It's very easy to judge and label players, but sometimes you have to just see what they're about.
"At the moment, they've been really receptive to the ideas. They want to get out of the position they are in. They all recognise that it's not acceptable to be in a position we're in with the quality that we've got.
"But it's about doing it on the pitch. We can talk about it till we're blue in the face, but it's about showing it. And, in the second half, they did.
"We've got some really, really good players. But we need to do is find a really nice defensive base so that those players in the forward areas haven't got to score two, three, four goals every game to go and win it. We certainly have to be a little bit more solid."
