Emma Hayes

Sometimes you think, just take it on, take it on.

He did today, and I'm so happy for him.

Yeah, it was, you know, he had a chance in the first half of his head and you'd be disappointed.

But this one, again, Nasri with the little touch, which was perfect, and it was just inviting him on to take it.

And, you know, sometimes M1s are better when you don't have to really think about it.

You just, it's more of a reaction and he put it straight in top corner, great finish.

I think it's the second phase.

It's sometimes the most important phase in a set pitch.

You've done your job and sometimes people switch off and it goes wide and the second ball comes in and there's someone free and Declan was free there and he tucked it away nicely.

I'm trying to think of a defensive midfielder in the Premier League who does it better than him at the moment.

I'm not saying he's the best in the league because he's got a long way to go, but he's on the right track.

His reading of the game, his maturity.

Today I saw a little bit more where he wanted to go forward a bit more.

I think he can bring that to his game and he'll be a real talent.

Yeah, I can't believe he's still 19.

When I first come to the club, I've obviously heard about him.

He played a bit last year, but to see him day in, day out on the training field...

He's only 19.

It's unbelievable, really.

He's got a great future ahead of him.
