“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.”

Alberto Aquilani is likely to sign with Juventus at the end of the season, according to the player's agent.
The Liverpool midfielder returned to Serie A on loan last August after only one injury-affected season in the Premier League. And Aquilani's representative, Franco Zavaglia, has suggested the Italian is ready to extend his stay in Turin despite being linked with his former club Roma.
"Aquilani to Roma? That will be difficult. Juve has the priority and I don't think they will let him escape," he told the Italian broadcaster Radio Mana Mana. "On 30 June Juventus will be able to buy Aquilani and they should act now.
"They could sign him by making three to four delayed payments, a system which was established last summer. The agreement between Liverpool and Juventus is already there, it all depends on the willingness of Juventus. I think Aquilani will stay at Juventus and there will not be any obstacles."
