Liverpool FC draw a blank Czech against Sparta Prague - Liverpool Echo

KENNY DALGLISH enjoyed many glory nights in Europe as a player for Liverpool. But due to the Reds being banned from Europe after the 1985 Heysel disaster, it meant he never tasted any as the club’s manager.
Last night’s clash against Sparta Prague was the first time the Scot had led Liverpool into a European fixture.
And while a scoreless draw at a freezing Generali Arena was perhaps not the most romantic European managerial baptism, it will still be hugely welcomed by the Scot as the Reds head back to Merseyside for the return fixture in seven days time.
You would hardly have guessed Sparta Prague had not played a competitive football fixture for two months.
Ensconced in their winter break, the Czech side have been in effective hibernation during these icy Eastern European months.
Not that it was at all noticeable, nor could Liverpool take advantage of any perceived lack of recent match practice on Sparta’s part.
Josef Chovanec’s men set about the Reds with a relish that Dalglish’s men struggled to subdue at times.
In truth, this was a listless display from the Reds whose excellent form since Dalglish’s appointment deserted them last night.
They desperately missed the influence of Steven Gerrard up front as Liverpool’s midfield never had any grip on the match.
You almost felt sorry for lone striker David Ngog, who lacked support and understandably failed to make an impression on the Sparta backline.
