Liverpool boss Benitez insists Reading result no setback

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists their FA Cup draw at Reading is no major setback.

Benitez cites Leeds United's shock at Manchester United on Sunday as how anything can happen in the Cup.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "We were really pleased after two wins in a row. The mood was really good but we didn't play well against Reading. We could have won, we could have lost - but we didn't play well. But it was a Cup game - anything can happen. Talk to Leeds about this! So, the players still have confidence that we can do well and improve."
