Everton boss Roberto Martinez will not change his playing principles.

The Toffees have conceded 31 Premier League goals already this season - with only struggling QPR and Crystal Palace having worse records.

But Martinez said: "We know as a football club where we want to get to and how we are going to get there. I will allow the results to speak for themselves.

"Our style is very clear. Our style was very successful last season, giving us the biggest points tally in the Premier League in the history of our football club.

"I don't work on having a good defensive record to win things.

"We work on other aspects and I like to have the talent that wins football games and to try and build something that will allow the football club to compete against sides that have spent a huge amount of money.

"It is not a question of style, it's about being very good at what you do. You don't win games by changing the style. You win games by being very good at what you do.

"Changing only brings doubts. I've been in this situation too many times."
