Liverpool ended a four-game run, which included three defeats, without a win on Monday when they beat Everton 2-0 at home in the Merseyside derby.
But they are still sitting ninth in the Premier League standings and have a treacherous road ahead of them if they are to break into the top four by the end of the season.
The Reds will be travelling to St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle later today and Aldridge stressed the importance of the game for their top four hopes.
The Liverpool legend admitted that the team need to find some consistency from somewhere if they are to remain legitimate contenders for the Champions League spots.
He insisted that Jurgen Klopp’s side are in need of an unbeaten run and cannot afford defeats against their fellow top-four rivals, especially at Newcastle today.
Aldridge said on LFC TV: “That’s [consistency] the key between now and the end of the season.
“We need to go on an unbeaten run, better if they are all wins but we have to go unbeaten.
“The likes of Newcastle and Tottenham we have got coming up and United, Chelsea – they are all six-pointers.
“If we have got any chance of making fourth place, you can’t go there and get beaten.
“Especially [at Newcastle], it would be a big knockback after winning the derby.
“We have got to try and get some continuity about us.”
Newcastle’s only league defeat in the ongoing campaign came against Liverpool at Anfield.
