The level of team we played in preseason wasn’t far off what forest and Bournemouth did, but they seem to have done alright. The teams you play aren’t what makes or breaks pre season, if we were undercooked this year it’s because we hadn’t done enough ball work on the training pitch not because we didn’t play Real Madrid in a friendly.Hopefully we've learned from last pre season. We need to play matches against good teams and take them seriously.
Last summer was a bit of a mess. We were playing poor sides and weren't even taking the games seriously. I think these games matter much more than people think, especially the second half of pre season.
