In defence of Jay Spearing

So just because a player has a bad game we should sell him, well according to some “Fans” and expert pundits we should.

Yes Jay didn’t have the best of games against Chelsea in the cup final, however you need to give the lad credit for the other games he has performed exceptionally especially in the Derbies.

Jay is a product of our academy, he is Liverpool through and through. He is the kind of player a club like ours needs if we are ever going to sustain a decent title run.  He doesn’t demand a huge salary and is happy and ready to play when he called upon, he plays for the badge and not for himself. Speo had big shoes to fill and with Lucas Leiva injured for most of the season Jay has been called upon to fill that holding midfield role.

The only way for us to become title contenders is to have some depth while maintaining a lower salary bill. We just can’t afford top class players making huge salaries sitting on the bench. The formula to success has to be to have an exceptional starting eleven and then having players who are hungry to play and not demand a huge salary to fill in.

Spearing fits that mold and while he will not be an automatic starter he will get his decent share of games and he will be happy to play for the club and give 110% for the club he loves.
