Fulham defender Heitinga holds no Martinez grudge

Fulham defender Johnny Heitinga holds no grudge against former club Everton.

Heitinga spent five years at Everton but fell out of favour when Roberto Martinez replaced David Moyes in the summer. He holds no ill-feeling towards the new manager at Goodison Park but does want to dent his former side's ambitions of finishing in the top four.

"He [Martinez] is a top manager and is doing really well," Heitinga told the London Evening Standard. "I trained more than I played under him but the training sessions were really good. Everton are doing well and they have a talented squad but we beat Newcastle in our last home game so why can't we beat them this weekend?"
