Dalglish content after lifeless Liverpool draw

Despite having zero shots on target, Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish was happy with the 0-0 result with Sparta Prague in the Europa League.

The Reds came to the Czech Republic looking for a draw and will leave contented that they got the job done, even if it meant keeping a lid on their attack in their Round of 32 fixture.

"It wasn't a classic but we're reasonably happy," he said.

He added on Five: "The onus was on them to put us under pressure and they didn't really, most of the time it came from us misplacing passes.

"I think 0-0 was fair enough, we're happy with that."

Dalglish pointed out that some of his personnel were either coming back from injury or making their European debuts and said to look at it from that point of view was pleasing.

"We had a few out injured, and a couple more came in who needed a game," Dalglish added.

"(Martin) Skrtel did well at the back, (David) Ngog ran about up front and did reasonably well and Danny Wilson played his first European game, so there was value to come out of the game."
