Despite a troubled season for Carlton, coach Mick Malthouse is confident of the team's revival.

The Blues are currently standing in the midst of rubble after having no win for four rounds, fuelled by a pathetic performance against Melbourne on Saturday.

Mick Malthouse, who took over the helm to steer the team to a proper direction since the end of 2012 has a strong faith on his team.

I have the utmost faith in our footy club ... I'm very confident that I have the player group going in one direction ... Now, at the moment, yes we're zero and four. But we do know what we have to do ... It's not as if we go out on the field and there's just total disarray. We know what we have to do," Malthouse stated on Channel Nine's Footy Classified on Monday.

Earlier it was thought the reason for Carlton's failure was for the unavailability of a good field marshal. But as Malthouse joined to fill the gap, the Blues still could not revive and are nowhere even near to top four.

"I don't think I over-rated the list. This is a good football club and a good football team ... We had shots on goal against Richmond that I believe professional players should kick ... We dropped marks at centre half-forward that we should take. For me, that's a confidence thing ... The players are basically devoid of confidence," Malthouse added.

Malthouse have earlier faced similar situation when he coached Footscray and he believes his experience would help to regain the glory.

"In 1987, when I was coaching Footscray, we lost the first three games by 42 goals. The next week, we played the reigning premiers, and we won. There has never been a game that I'm not confident we can win ... I have been through periods like this before and at the end, the team does go up ... When you lose confidence, it goes. We need to find a way to get that back ... Maybe it's a lack of confidence in their abilities," he further added.
