Alonso wants Everton revenge

Xabi Alonso wants to take revenge on Merseyside rivals Everton on Sunday in the FA Cup.

The two clubs drew 1-1 at Anfield on Monday in the League.

“This is our chance to take real revenge against Everton,” Alonso said.

“The players were gutted and destroyed by the late goal we conceded against Everton, but we plan to make sure that the fans will be celebrating after Sunday.

“Tim Cahill’s goal was unjust because we had worked so hard for victory and Steven Gerrard scored a fabulous goal. We deserved victory, but it wasn’t to be.

“There will be just as much passion for this game and maybe more because there will be more Everton fans at Anfield for this FA Cup game.

“However, we want to make them cry and the way to do that is by being ruthless and taking control of the game.

“We need to make sure we score when we are on top, and maybe more than once, and then stay calm and hold our nerve.

“It is important to show mental strength as well as quality in our football.”
