Fellaini focusing on Boro

06 March 2009 09:58
Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini is putting thoughts of a Wembley appearance to the back of his mind as he prepares to face Middlesbrough on Sunday. The Toffees host Boro at Goodison Park in the FA Cup sixth round with a place in the semi-finals at stake. The 21-year-old would love to cap his first season at the club with an FA Cup final showdown but he admits that he isn't looking any further ahead than this weekend's clash. David Moyes' men are unbeaten against Boro this season, drawing at home and winning 1-0 away at The Riverside, but Fellaini insists his team-mates need to make home advantage count. "It would be fantastic to get to the final in my first season, but we're not there yet. We can't talk about victory," he told Everton TV. Concentrate"We have to concentrate on doing the right things on Sunday and make sure that happens. "It's a very important game for us. The important thing is that we are going to be at home and we're going to do all we can to get that victory, but being at home is decisive." The Belgium international has played just one of the club's four games in the competition so far due to injury and suspension but despite his absence, he admits he has enjoyed the run to the quarter-finals. "It's been good. First of all we started out with a victory against a lower division side," he added. "The game against Aston Villa was a great occasion and now we have a game against Middlesbrough. "We've got to be there on form, give 100 per cent and above all, get through."
