Emma Hayes

You know, it was a difficult start and as Jamie said, people were questioning him, but he was confident and he believed in us.

And, you know, the boys are putting in the performances to make him proud now.

Yeah, but it's not really for me to comment on the club and what they're going to do.

I spent 10 good years there and they were brilliant for me.

But I think what Jamie said about going away from home, it's almost like when you go away from home, you change your mentality.

And the most important thing is be hard to beat.

Because when you watch Arsenal play at home, they're brilliant to watch.

It wasn't that long ago they beat Tottenham at home and they were playing unbelievable football and everyone was saying, oh, they've changed.

But away from home, you have to change something and you have to be hard to beat and not be easy to play through and sometimes you can play through them a little bit too easy.

Listen, it's a good chance for them to bounce back.

As I said, they're good at home.

It'll be a tough game for Chelsea, but it'll be a tough game for Arsenal as well.

But you'd like to think Arsenal could cause the Chelsea defence some problems.

They just have to tighten up a little bit.

And then, of course, everyone knows about Arsenal's record in the FA Cup.

So it's a difficult run of fixtures.

Yeah, but it will be difficult for the fans to accept because we've been so successful before me, but as well, we won two FA Cups, three FA Cups and Jamie talks about Tottenham being so good and not spending, but Tottenham haven't won anything either.

No.

With Arsenal and the fans, it's difficult because everyone knows how Arsene left and how some fans felt about him.

They wanted to change, they wanted it to happen straight away.
