FABRICE Muamba has vowed to keep putting his boots in where they’re not wanted.

The Wanderers enforcer came under fire from Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez a fortnight ago after his challenge at the DW Stadium resulted in a lengthy lay-off for James McCarthy.

But there were no signs of the criticism playing on his mind during Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Spurs, and it was his perfectly-timed challenge on Spurs ace Sandro that created the first goal of the afternoon for Kevin Davies.

Muamba – whose performances in the last 12 months have won over his doubters at the Reebok – comes up against an Everton midfield he rates as one of the toughest in the Premier League.

And he claims he won’t be changing his style despite close scrutiny from the “tackle police”.

“I cannot control what happened at Wigan,” he said. “Things happen in football, accidents happen and people land awkwardly and stuff like that.

“My strength is to break up the play and keep the team moving. One incident will not stop me doing that. It pays my bills so I will continue to do my best for the team and everybody else.

“Tackling is part of my game and I have to keep going. I can't stop after one incident and do what I do. It’s great to hear the fans sing my name, but the main thing is that the team is winning.”

Muamba has never won at Goodison Park but with Wanderers in high spirits, the England Under-21 international believes it could be an ideal opportunity to register back-to-back wins for the first time since March.

“We will go there with the belief that we can get three points,” he said. "It's a tough place to go to, a difficult place. The team are really organised and work hard for each other. We must make sure we go there with the right mindset.

"Everton are a very good team and we really have to be at our best to get three points. I believe we can do it. As a team, we believe we can beat anybody. You can see the quality we have in our side now and hopefully we can go there and get another three points.

"If would be great if we could get back-to-back wins and then we have another massive game against Wolves, which won’t be easy.”

Muamba also holds out hope that like Davies and Gary Cahill, his performance against Spurs could have nudged him up a few places in Fabio Capello’s reckoning.

“We will see what happens,” he said. “You can never predict who will be in the squad. If it’s meant to be for me, then it’s meant to be.”
