David Moyes made in clear in his press conference that he will be taking the competition seriously having tasted an FA Cup Final once with Everton. But make no mistake he’s aware of the challenge ahead.
We go and we try and win the FA Cup," said Moyes. He went on to say "I’ve been lucky enough to be in the final once and I’d like to get there again and win it if I can. We have to make sure we get through, but all these games are much tougher and we need to make sure all the players understand how tough they are and what you need to do to win. So, we will do everything we can to get through in the cup.
