00:00I'm sure you're absolutely delighted for Dom Solanke to make the England squad.
00:04In terms of James Madison, who's had a really good start as well,
00:07you've formed an international manager yourself.
00:09He's an emotional guy and he speaks so well.
00:11What have you said or what will you say to him?
00:13Because I'm sure he'll be disappointed.
00:15Yeah, look, I'm sure he's disappointed.
00:17But, you know, at the same time, he's playing well.
00:20So, you know, sometimes that's all you can do.
00:24And, you know, these things come along at times.
00:30It's not always perfect in your career
00:32and there are situations and circumstances
00:34that don't mean you don't always get what you want.
00:37But it shouldn't deter or detract from everything else you're doing.
00:41So he's playing really well for us.
00:43I think he's been outstanding all year.
00:46He's making an impact in every game he plays.
00:48He's a really important part of our midfield set-up.
00:50And if he continues to do that,
00:52I'm sure he'll get selected again.
00:54But, you know, you can't just sort of put everything in one basket
00:59of just being disappointed because you haven't missed out.
01:02I said that shouldn't have any effect on him
01:04and the way he's playing because he's been brilliant for us.
