Even though they lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup, the defender said they showed they were still fighting for their boss.
They went into the game under a lot of pressure after their thumping at the hands ofBrighton left them in the bottom half of the table.
This was a much better display than the one we had last time.
Coady said that they need to keep fighting.
"We are in a bad place and everyone wants to get out of it," said the 29-year-old, who scored an own goal.
We stuck to our plan when we arrived. It is sad that the game was lost to an own goal and penalty.
We need to get out of it as soon as possible. The manager understands the football club and is great with all of us. We have to listen to him.
The effort of their team, who had a Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal ruled out for offside by the VAR at the end of the game, was applauded by more than 9000 fans.
The attention then turned to protests against the board, with banners held up saying "sack the board" and "no communication, no plan, no vision".
Coady, who is on a season-long loan from Wolves, said that they are focused on trying to get results.
We are not a team that can play pretty football but we give 200%.
It's not under my control. "I don't want to focus on that."
"I want to focus on what I saw tonight and that was a performance that every manager wants with the attitude of the team and the focus."
You have to work really hard to get out of a difficult run in this league and it can change very quickly.
I don't want to talk about my future but I want to talk about the players. I'm focused on this team and getting a win.
When the players perform with the spirit of anEverton player, the fans will respond to that, even in defeat, and that says a lot.
We need to make the fans feel good about the team and then try to win the game at Goodison next week," he said.
"It felt and looked bad, we are hoping it is ankle damage and not more," said Frank Lampard after Alex Iwobi was injured in the second half.
