Liverpool are currently 3 points behind 5th placed Tottenham Hotspurs. Though Spurs have a game in hand, they have to face tough opponents in the form of Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Liverpool fans with high expectations would expect Liverpool to win the rest of their matches and would expect Tottenham to lose to Liverpool and Chelsea and draw with city. If that is the case then Liverpool would have a chance to sneak in through the back-door into the Champions League spot. However though this scenario is possible it is not probable. Getting back to what Spearing had to say,

"We can't look too far ahead, we have Newcastle this weekend and we need to get three points and keep the pressure on Tottenham," said Spearing.


"We can't keep worrying about what other people are doing in the league, we have to keep working.


"The club seems on a high at the moment and we are keeping it going by putting in good performances.


"We have been doing a lot of work together and it is starting to pay off in games.


As every other player in the team Spearing also had praise for Kenny Dalglish.


"The confidence which Kenny gives everyone bounces back to him and anyone who comes in (to the team) gels straight away and the training we are doing every day is showing on the pitch.


"We are working hard for one another and the good thing is as soon as we lose the ball we are fighting to get it back again and it is that desire in the side now that we want to keep going until the end of the season and finish on a high."


The academy graduate seems to be enjoying his football under Kenny Dalglish and he is grateful towards Kenny Dalglish for the faith the legendary Scot has shown in him.


"For a lot of us, including myself, it is a chance for us to get a step in and show people what we are capable of doing," he added.


"For me it is about putting pressure on the likes of Stevie G and for Jack and Flanno it is to put pressure on people like Glen Johnson so you can see there is a fight for places."
