"After playing in Holland, what we need are some tough tests and Nottingham Forest gave us a tough test," he told the official website.

"Forest were on a different level to the Dutch teams, and they were better than we were on the night.

"But don't forget, that was their fourth pre-season game and our first - that's a big difference.

"We're not too bothered about the result, that's not important. What is important is that we continue to build up the fitness with the friendly games we have left and make sure we're ready for the Champions League game then the first game of the season."
