Sylvain Distin has expressed his delight at Everton's style of play under Roberto Martinez since he took over in the summer.
The Spanish manager guided the side to a 2-1 win at Swansea City on Sunday that saw Everton climb to fourth in the Premier League table and continue their impressive start to the season.
"It's based on possession, a lot of passing, which starts from the back," Distin told reporters.
"Even last season we played a lot of good football but now it's just constant."
Everton host Sunderland on Boxing Day.
