The Reds enjoyed 70 per cent of possession against their neighbours but couldn't add to Gerrard's second-half leveller, meaning the game ended 1-1.
The tie will now be settled at Goodison Park on Wednesday, February 4 - just three days after Liverpool's crucial Premier League clash with Chelsea.
"If we go and play like Sunday, we'll beat them," said the skipper, who now has 15 goals this season. "They were worth a point in the league game but we dominated them second time around.
"It's natural to be disappointed after that because we had the chances. We will just have to be a bit more clinical in front of goal and watch the set-pieces.
"I think we completely dominated the game - their goal was frustrating because we had worked on that.
"Both sides could do without the replay. We have just got to put in the same work-rate at Goodison and if we do we will beat them.
"I'm sure we can go there and win, we've done it before and we can do it again."
On his own performance after a difficult week, Gerrard added: "I'm focused on my football, whatever else is going on. It's not about me, it's about the team. I might have scored but I'd rather be here without a goal, knowing we were in the next round.
"I'm happy with my performances. I'm a footballer, I'm focused on my football and will continue to show that." |
