Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar has hailed the impact of manager Roberto Martinez this season.
The South African has been back to his best since Martinez's appointment.
"The manager is a very positive guy, he always wants us to play with a smile on our faces," said Pienaar. "He was a bit annoyed after we beat Fulham 4-1 last weekend, because some of us seemed disappointed.
"He doesn't want us to play with inhibition. His team talks are, 'Get over your fear, play with a smile no matter what happens'. It relaxes us."
