Europa League: Utrecht v Liverpool half time report
Utrecht 0 Liverpool 0
Liverpool are level after a half of two halves against Utrecht in the Netherlands.
The Reds started this Europa League Group K encounter well, and Raul Meireles, Lucas, Joe Cole and Fernando Torres all tried their luck from distance, but the hosts were to come into the half the longer it progressed.
Jan Wuytens saw a goal disallowed for a push, before Dries Martens brought a smart save out of Pepe Reina amid sloppy Liverpool defending, and Tim Cornelisse headed a corner over.
Not for the first time this season, this has been an unconvincing first period display from the Reds, and boss Roy Hodgson will hope that his half time team talk inspires his team.
