This is one that we can win. “It’s the early stages and there are a lot of tough games to come, I’m sure.“Everyone loves the FA Cup, whether you’re playing a top team like Everton or a lower-league side it’s never easy. It’s a fantastic competition to win and it’s time we put another bit of silverware on the board.” While Milner opened the scoring against Everton, it was £75 million record signing Virgil van Dijk who snatched a dramatic winner.The Netherlands international has been drafted in for his defensive qualities, amid plenty of struggles for the Reds in that area, but he has already shown himself to be of value at both ends of the field. Milner added on a fairytale debut for his new colleague: “That’s why he has been brought here.“He is a top player and to step in like he did, into a big game like that, is the reason why he has come – to play in those sorts of games. “He handled the occasion fantastically and defended well. He has already shown he is going to be a big threat in the other box.“I’m delighted for him; you always want your debut to go well and it couldn’t have gone much better for him.” Liverpool will be hoping for more of the same from Milner and Van Dijk in their next outing, with an ongoing effort to secure a top-four finish set to see Jurgen Klopp's side welcome Premier League leaders Manchester City to Anfield.</blockquote>
