Spearing Eyes Regular Start

Jay Spearing admits he needs to prove to Kenny Dalglish that he does not need to strengthen his side with anymore midfielders.

The academy graduate had been lined up to replace Lucas, who is out for the season with a knee injury, but was sent off in his first start of the season in the Premier League against Fulham.

Summer signing Jordan Henderson filled in for Saturday's victory over against QPR but Spearing is keen to prove he is the long term solution.

"The club is massive worldwide and the owners have come in and shown that they're going to back the manager," he said. "A club the size of this is always going to attract big players.

"It has always been my dream to play week in, week out so it's up to me to prove to the manager on a daily basis that when the transfer window does open and he has money at his disposal that he can look at a position like mine and think: 'There's no need to sign anyone there - we're pretty strong.'"
