Liverpool FC draw a blank Czech against Sparta Pragueby Luke Traynor, Liverpool EchoFeb 18 2011 Kenny DalglishKenny Dalglish 300

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.

Liverpool Defender Jamie Carragher: We Have The Advantage After Sparta Prague Stalemate (Goal.com)

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher insists his side have the advantage over Sparta Prague following the 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Europa League tie in the Czech Republic.

The stand-in Reds captain believes his side are in pole position ahead of the second leg at Anfield next week despite not getting an away goal.

He told Five: "A goalless draw away from home is always a decent result but you would like the away goal of course.

"But it is advantage us. We just have to make sure they don't get the away goal now."

Kenny Dalglish took charge of his first European game as Liverpool manager nd despite the stalemate, Carragher is not worried by the lack of goals.

He added: "The last few weeks we have been winning games and scoring goals, but tonight we haven't done that.

"In Europe it is a slightly different game, especially with two legs but we are quite pleased with a 0-0 draw."

Liverpool, who were without the injured Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger, Andy Carroll and the cup-tied Luis Suarez, will now fancy their chances of getting a positive result at Anfield.

Carragher continued: "The manager changed a few players around so it was a good experience for a few players.

"But now we just have to make sure we do the job at Anfield."
