We were very poor at Reading last Saturday but we should finish the job in Wednesday’s replay at Anfield.
Sometimes in the Cup you get days like that but the main thing is we got away with it.
You can’t take anything for granted and we’ve been shocked at home by lower league clubs a few times before so the warning signs are there.
The Barnsley defeat sticks out and we also under-estimated non-league Havant.
It’s crucial we prepare properly, treat Reading with respect and do a professional job.
I heard Jamie Carragher talking about how he wants his kids to have a day out at Wembley watching him play.
A trip to the capital is long overdue and it’s a huge carrot for the players.
We couldn’t ask any more than a home tie with Burnley in the fifth round so if we get past Reading there’s a golden opportunity to progress to the last 16.
