Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has praised Jay Spearing’s recent performances. He wrote in his column fo the Liverpool Echo:
“Jay Spearing had his best game in a Liverpool shirt against Sunderland. It was great to see and the more experience he gets the better he will become. Spearing is a terrier. He did really well to win the penalty and was only denied his first goal by a brilliant save. He was excellent and only Luis Suarez stopped him from getting the man of the match award. Spearing is a better player now than Lucas was three years ago. Give him three years experience of being in the squad and he will mature into a fine player. Kenny Dalglish clearly has a lot of faith in him and everyone wants to see him do well. He’s a local lad and you can see how much it means to him to pull on the shirt. We’re all behind him and now he’s got to take the bull by the horns and have belief in himself.”
Aldridge also believes that Liverpool can still finish fifth:
“Finishing fifth is still going to be very tough but Liverpool have given themselves a chance of catching Spurs. We’re on the front foot and have to keep this winning run going. All we can do is focus on getting three points at West Brom a week on Saturday and hope Spurs slip up. There’s no doubt Harry Redknapp’s side have got a tough run in as well as the distraction of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. They’ve got Chelsea away as well as Arsenal at home. Crucially, Spurs also have to come to Anfield. That last home game of the season for Liverpool could be huge.”

Aldo is a better player now than Lucas was 3 years ago and is ever likely to be! Wake up people,just because that awkward oaf who cant run properly,who gives away free-kicks just out-side our box because he cant tackle and constantly gets in the way of our own players,is improving slightly, does not mean he deserves a place in our first team. I wouldn’t have him in the reserves because he would waste a place for some real potential talent.
you’re wasting your time mate – apparently the stats prove that Lucas a better player than Gerrard and that Kuyt is better than Torres was… *sigh*
Fair play lad great comment
comparing Lucas with Spearing is an absolute joke. A full Brazil international with Spearing. Xenophobia anyone! Some people do make me sick. If ever there was a case of positive discrimination, see Spearing.
Lucas, has been the most consistent player this season. Continuously improving and will only get better.
What about his attitude and mental strength. First class. To have your own supporters booing you and to get back stronger, shows character. His potential is not realised yet but if i had to put money on anyone to improve further, its this guy.
Offer the guy another contract. For those who think we wont win the premiership with players like that. Its the best squad who wins it…..and not the one with the most local lads. Go and watch Sunday league.

Spearing will do well filling the Mascherano roll but I think we need a more powerful midfield play who can carry the ball forward.
