Rafa wants derby reponse

Last updated : 24 January 2009 By Al Campbell
The Reds dropped two points against the Bitters on Monday thanks to an 86th minute equaliser. Rafa Benitez is expecting his team to make amends for that in tomorrow's FA Cup fourth round game.

"It is always important that you respond well if you suffer a disappointment and this is what has happened," he said.

"I have been really pleased with the last two training sessions we have had because the attitude of the players has been really positive.

"We have been analysing Monday night's game and we know that we made some mistakes. So we will try to adjust the small details that can make such a big difference.

"But it is important to remember that we drew on Monday night, we did not lose the game and we have not lost any game for more than two months.

"There are a lot of positives and now we must try to build on them in the second half of the season."
