Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has told Roberto Martinez not to change his playing principles at Wigan Athletic.

The Latics have had an inconsistent first season under Martinez as they attempt to adjust to his style of play.

"He is doing well," Benitez told liverpoolfc.tv. "It is not easy in a team who has changed their manager, has to compete at the bottom of the table and without big, big money. I have experience in Spain of this situation.

"The main thing is to carry on and keep doing your job until the end. If you have an idea about what to do, I think it will be easier for you to achieve what you want."
