Liverpool FC midfielder Alberto Aquilani asks for time to prove his worth
Alberto Aquilani 300[LNB]A TELLING exchange took place between two Liverpool fans on the approach to Anfield on Wednesday night.[LNB]'I hope Aquilani has a good game,' began the conversation.[LNB]'Same here,' came the reply. 'It's about time we started to see a bit more from him.'[LNB]Less than three months ago, the only question surrounding the summer acquisition was whether we would ever get to see him at all.[LNB]In that sense, Aquilani has come a long way in a relatively short space of time.[LNB]From his debut at The Emirates in late October, to the part he played in setting up Dirk Kuyt for the first of a match-winning double against Tottenham this week, Aquilani has had to learn to walk before he can run again.[LNB]Still, whether he plays or not, he is well aware that the weight of expectation hangs heavier around his neck with each passing game.[LNB]But, although he accepts people are waiting for tangible proof that he can justify his substantial price tag, Aquilani subscribes to the notion that good things come to those who wait.[LNB]'I know a lot has been said and written about me so far without me being able to prove my ability in matches,' he agrees.[LNB]'Soon, I believe that I will.[LNB]'I understand that people are still wondering whether I will be a good signing for Liverpool.
