Frank Lampard insists he can harness the 'huge talent' within his Everton squad.
The Englishman was recently appointed as Rafa Benitez's successor at Goodison Park.
He is now tasked with getting Everton away from the relegation zone as they currently sit four points above 18th-placed Newcastle United.
Speaking at his first press conference since starting his new job, Lampard said: "Of course nobody would be happy with the run that we've been on, but I also have to bring in an element of calm and also an element of looking at ourselves and saying that there is a huge amount of talent.
"If I didn't believe in that and didn't think I was the man to come and harness that, then I wouldn't be here.
"I just want to come and make sure that I get to work very quickly and the players respond to that quickly. I believe that if we do that, we can go in the right direction.
"I knew the squad but it's always different when you see people in the flesh - see them on the training ground, how they act, their body language. I've been really impressed.
"I've seen a talented group, maybe that has had a hit in their confidence, which losing games can do. I've been there many a time.
"So I have a clear idea of what my priorities are to try and get the uplift that we need straight away. I'm very trusting in this group and I'll work with them."
