Everton boss Frank Lampard expects tough challenges ahead.
They start with a relegation six-pointer at Newcastle on Tuesday and the former Chelsea boss knows the 4-1 FA Cup win over fellow Premier League side Brentford proves little.
Goodison Park certainly warmed to their new manager “Super Frankie Lampard" ringing out at the end and the ex-England international responded by applauding all four sides of the ground.
“I have to put some perspective and calm on yesterday," he said after seeing goals from substitutes Yerry Mina and Andros Townsend bookend strikes from Richarlison and Mason Holgate.
“It was a good performance and we are through to the next round but we have a lot of work to do, we need to get results within that process because it is so important for our league position.
“When we go to training I will say, 'Well done, here are the positives, but we need to get better'.
“We want to play and make more passes and support each other better in possession.
“We are an Everton team, we must be aggressive and sprint and tackle when the ball is there to be won.
“And those things were there in abundance, which makes me very happy."
