Seamus Coleman has said it will take time for Everton’s players to get used to Ronald Koeman's “different” way of doing things.
The Dutchman replaced Roberto Martinez in the close season, and Republic of Ireland international Coleman has revealed that Koeman is trying to introduce new "good habits" ahead of the new season.
Martinez's three-year tenure at the Merseyside club was brought to an end in May after the Spaniard oversaw a disastrous campaign at Goodison Park, leading Everton to 11th in the Premier League, their lowest finish in the last nine seasons.
Coleman said: "Every manager is different and I wouldn't say there's any right or wrong but when you play in a regime for a certain amount of time you will pick up habits that stick for a little while.
"I'm sure this manager now will be wanting to get his good habits into us and we'll have to forget some of the others that we had. That's part and parcel of changing managers.
"I've only been back a week and I'm still coming to terms with what he (Koeman) wants and what he doesn't want but you can definitely see that... he's not afraid to mix it up.
"We were a bit direct at times and a few of the channel balls got Geri (Deulofeu) in during the first half. It's about keeping possession and then being direct when we have to be direct."
Meanwhile, Koeman admits he is flirting with the idea of deploying Gerard Deulofeu as a striker following the winger's impressive display in a pre-season win over Barnsley on Saturday.
"We had a lot of pace up front with Gerard. Maybe this is a new position for him but I know he played there for Barcelona 'B'," the former Southampton boss said.
"Because he is very fast, we created a lot of danger from that. A full-back has two options - play the ball back to the goalkeeper or play it down the channels (to the forwards). I don't like the first option.
"When you have Gerard with that speed up front, and good passes to pick him out, that makes it difficult for the opponent."

Koeman said that not Coleman.

Yes I know. Should have been clearer...Seamus is most comfortable moving forward - that is what I meant. He is the archetypal attacking full back.
Hope to see more of this under RK.
That is our Séamus!!
Best player on the field by a country mile against Man u, recaptured his speed,was tenacious and sorted out the tit that is Ashley Young plus chucked in a mouthful to Mourinho for good measure.

unless he improves he will be shipped out. offers nothing going forward now a days. appalling crosser and runs down blind alleys too much for my liking.

Thought he had a great game in Wednesday. Played the ball in for our best chance. He playes better with someone who tucks in like Miralles rather than a pure winger like Del and Lennon.
Sorry Bitter you're no better with this one.
