Jamie Carragher: Sort out Xabi Alonso’s future – Liverpool FC latest

He said: “We’re disappointed because we didn’t win but it was a decent game.

“It’s still early days for us and we just need to concentrate on getting better with each game.

“Credit to Thailand because they worked really hard and every Peter Reid team is competitive.

“I’ve really enjoyed our time here and it’s been great to see so many fans.”

Liverpool fly on to Singapore today to prepare for Sunday’s friendly with manager Rafael Benitez sweating on the fitness of defender Martin Skrtel and m idfielder Nabil El Zhar.

Both limped off injured in the second half of yesterday’s game.

“They were not the best conditions here today and the worst thing was to lose Skrtel and El Zhar,” Benitez said.

“The idea of the game was to improve match fitness, so to lose two players is bad news.”

Meanwhile, Javier Mascherano’s agent has claimed the midfielder is unsettled at Liverpool and keen to move to Spain.

Walter Tamer said: “Barcelona is the easiest deal to set up as Javier wants to go to Spain. He is tired of life in England.

“His wife has not been given a permanent visa.

“She has to go through an odyssey each time she wants to go. Liverpool refuse to sell, this can be overcome with an extraordinary offer.”
