REUTERS: Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti said his team must produce the perfect game in their FA Cup third round match at Liverpool on Sunday if they are to end two decades of disappointment in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
"A normal performance is not enough against them. Everything has to be perfect," Ancelotti, who masterminded a 2-0 Champions League win over Liverpool with former side Napoli in September, told reporters on Friday. "The last trophy Everton won was the FA Cup so we have to have confidence... Everyone knows how Liverpool play, fantastic in counter-attack... we have to attack well because you can't defend for 90 minutes and we don't want to."Ancelotti is no stranger to derby matches having played for and managed AC Milan among other elite European clubs in a trophy-laden career.
