“There are no easy games in the FA Cup – I could tell you that from the teams we’ve been knocked out by over the years,” said the Liverpool defender, as the club prepare for their FA Cup fifth round tie.
“We’ve had some bad results against lower league opposition, but that’s what makes the FA Cup what it is.
"That’s why it’s so special when you do win it because you realise the pitfalls along the way.
“It would be disappointing if we were to go out having knocked Manchester United out of the last round.
“It’s a massive game for us and if we win we’ll be into the quarter-finals, and if you do well there then you’re at Wembley. It certainly keeps the season going.”
