The cultural overhaul of the Everton dressing room continued over the summer with the introduction of a fine system designed to uphold standards.
Frank Lampard - who put one in place while he was the Chelsea boss - had decided against a similar move when he arrived at Goodison Park. But away from the high-pressure of last season's relegation battle he has now brought one in, explaining many players like what is essentially an attempt to police discipline.
It is part of a series of changes in the dressing room, another being the creation of a leadership group within the squad. That came about towards the end of the last campaign and its members have changed over the summer. Lampard said he had not always appreciated the value of a core leadership team while he was a player but his view had changed - boosted by the "trust" he has in his current crop of stars.
