Ashley Williams hailed the way Everton kept hold of possession as they progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup in Frank Lampard's first match in charge.
Everton ran out 4-1 winners against Brentford at Goodison Park to put their name in the hat for Sunday's draw and to fill their fans with optimism.
Former Chelsea boss Lampard has had less than a week in charge of Blues but Williams can see the changes he has made to the team already.
"It’s been night and day from what they’ve produced recently, especially under Rafa Benitez," said ex-Everton defender Williams on Final Score.

"I think they’ve had way more possession. They’ve been in control. They’ve got a good structure about them. They’ve defended well.
"I think the big thing for me is the possession. They’ve kept the ball really well. Their reaction to losing the ball has been quick, sharp and high energy.
"They want to go and win the game. Obviously with new manager Frank Lampard coming in he’s had a few training sessions but he’s made a big difference already."
