Liverpool FC midfielder Alberto Aquilani asks for time to prove his worth

Alberto Aquilani 300A TELLING exchange took place between two Liverpool fans on the approach to Anfield on Wednesday night.'I hope Aquilani has a good game,' began the conversation.'Same here,' came the reply. 'It's about time we started to see a bit more from him.'Less than three months ago, the only question surrounding the summer acquisition was whether we would ever get to see him at all.In that sense, Aquilani has come a long way in a relatively short space of time.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.Still, whether he plays or not, he is well aware that the weight of expectation hangs heavier around his neck with each passing game.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.'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.'Soon, I believe that I will.'I understand that people are still wondering whether I will be a good signing for Liverpool.
