Holloway wants Everton scalp

by Setanta Staff , 08 February 2012 blackpool team

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has challenged his side to go to Everton and cause a shock in the FA Cup fifth round.


The Seasiders booked their trip to Goodison Park thanks to the easiest of 3-0 victories in their fourth-round replay at Sheffield Wednesday, which came courtesy of first-half efforts from Matt Phillips and Lomana LuaLua and a Ludovic Sylvestre strike after the interval.

All three goals were top-class finishes after an incisive attacking display and Holloway wants his side to reproduce that form on Merseyside.

"We have to try and replicate that at his place against his team," Holloway said when asked what Everton manager David Moyes would have thought of Blackpool's performance.

"They beat us 5-3 at their place last season and we drew 2-2 at our place and they kept their status and we didn't.

"We have to go there, a very tough place to go and they will be favourites, but let's see what we can do.

"We have got some unbelievably exciting games before that, though."
