Luke Chambers pleased with Liverpool start in Bangkok

Luke Chambers was pleased to see action for Liverpool against Manchester United in Thailand.

The 18-year-old started in front of more than 50,000 fans in Bangkok on Tuesday for the 4-0 defeat.

"It drives you for more," the Preston-born full-back told Liverpoolfc.com after the United game. "I think once you do get your first taste of playing in front of a lot of fans, you just want to play in front of them all the time. So, it's something to strive towards.

"It's something new with all the fans and putting yourself up against the best is what I wanted. I think it was a really good test for me and I think I took a lot out of the game.

"That's one of my goals – to try to be in and around the first team as much as I can. And when I do get opportunities, I need to take them as best as I can.

"It wasn't the result we wanted but I think the lads and I can take a lot of experience out of it and I think it has been a really good lesson for me.

"We are off to Singapore now, so that should be good, and then I'm just looking forward to the next game against Crystal Palace."
