Everton players have urged manager Roberto Martinez to adjust his tactics.

Romelu Lukaku revealed that the players have asked their manager to exploit his power by being more direct.

He said: "We mixed up how we play a bit more against West Ham.

"At times we were a bit more direct and that makes it easier for me because when I am one versus one, running on a defender, that gives me a better chance.

"The players were asking about doing that too. I asked them and we all said to the manager, 'can we play a bit more direct sometimes?'.

"We have a style of play where we keep the ball a lot, but knew we needed to take more responsibility, play to my strengths more and they did it perfectly. I tried to deliver for them and I did it."
