Frank Lampard believes a lack of confidence was the main culprit of last season's woeful Everton away form.
Results on the road almost cost the Toffees their Premier League status last term, with a run of two draws and 12 defeats between September and April dragging the club into a relegation fight. Performances at Goodison Park - backed by an incredible home support - just about dragged Lampard's side to safety, helped by a vital first away win in nearly eight months at Leicester City in May.
That away-day form was symptomatic of a lack of leadership and brittle confidence among the squad, but despite a couple of recent defeats at Newcastle and Tottenham, both of those characteristics have arrived in bucketloads over the summer.
