Benitez calls for the right ‘attitude’

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez has called for his side to show “attitude” against Reading in their FA Cup third-round replay at Anfield tonight.

The Spaniard has been on the end of a couple of cup upsets to lower-placed opposition: Burnley in 2005 – which came during his first season in charge – and Barnsley two years ago.

With the FA Cup representing Liverpool’s best chance of silverware this season, although they have yet to launch their Europa League bid, Benitez is keen not to allow their visitors from the Championship a glimmer of hope.
