		Without going as far as saying that Smicer crumbles under the merest of challenges, it has to be said that he isn’t too fond of though tackling.
		The expectancy piled on Smicer’s slight shoulders hasn’t been made any easier by the fact that he’s been assigned the number seven shirt, the one made legendary by Kenny Dalglish.
		Perhaps, Smicer’s being played out of position - some of his best performances for the Czech Republic have been as a withdrawn striker — or it’s simply a matter of lack of fitness.

		Smicer's club-mate Patrik Berger returned from suspension with Tomas Rosicky dropping to the bench while defender Petr Gabriel made way for Milan Fukal.
		After the interval Smicer began to impose himself upon the opposition's defence and tested Peter Schmeichel twice in the Denmark goal, albeit with tame efforts.

		Smicer had his heart set on a move to Anfield where he could join up with his International team mate Patrick Berger.
		Inconsistent form and injuries meant that Smicer was in and out of the side throughout Houllier's reign and even into Rafa Benitez's first year in charge, after which he was released by the club after his contract expired.
		Smicer did however end his Anfield career in the greatest possible way - coming on as substitute against AC Milan, scoring the second of the come-back goals and even notching another in the penalty shoot-out!

		Even though he regularily outshined everybody at the training ground he didn't show off his talents at a regular rate in competitive matches.
		Smicer ended his Liverpool career in style in the Champions League final vs. Milan by scoring Liverpool's second goal and in the penalty shoot-out after coming on as a substitute.
		Truly the nicest fellow you could ever meet, but that doesn't count on the field and hopefully he will resurrect his career in France.
