However, it is fair to say that Aspas has struggled badly for both form and goals since he first arrived on Merseyside during the summer, with the 26-year-old having still to even find the back of the net for his new club in this campaign. In total, Aspas had featured in six Premier League matches for the Reds before suffering his injury setback in training at Melwood ahead of the club’s trip to take on Newcastle United in the Premier League at St James’ Park on Saturday lunch time in front of the live TV cameras. And now Liverpool head coach will be without his diminutive front man until at least December, although the Northern Irishman may have England international Glen Johnson back from injury against the Magpies this weekend. Liverpool have started this season in fine form again, but Pardew is hoping to atone for last season’s nightmare result with an improved display this time. “It was one of my worst days as Newcastle boss, for sure. It’s happened to bigger and better managers than me though – Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, they’ve all had those days, too,” he said. “If there isn’t an extra bit of fire in the bellies of some of our players this weekend, then there’ll be something wrong. “There’ll be quite a few players playing who played on that day, and I’d be disappointed if they don’t respond. That’s what you like to see. “I certainly want to get a result more than in most games that we play.”
