So the only real sense I have is kind of how journalists around me are reacting to the game.

And it was a sleepy first half.

Yeah, I mean, it's a quick turnaround now.

I mean, look, you would think against Democrats for the Republic of Congo that whoever England put out of their 26-man squad should be good enough to win that game.

So I don't think he'll take a risk with Rhys James.

I'm not sure Rhys James would be ready for that game in any case.

I think he'd be lucky to be ready

for the round of 16 even, to be honest.

I presume he'll move Jed Spence over to that right side, O'Reilly on the left, and then probably Saka.

It would feel crazy to not have Bukayo sat.

He's meant to be the best of all of those wingers.

So my instinct would be, you know, you give Saka another hour in that game and you hope that it starts to click for him.

It feels like it's a question of is it fitness or is it form with Saka?

And if it's a bit of fitness, then you need minutes.

If it's form, then that's a different thing.

And I think that's what we're sort of trying to get to the bottom of really at the moment.

And it might be that it's a bit of both things.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I'm not sure how much he can rotate when it's a knockout game.

I mean, imagine if you make seven changes and then loses against Diokongo and you're like, what the hell are you doing?
