Got to admire Flynn Downes' professionalism. Telling Sky that Moyes has put his trust in him to play tonight when he must know it's only because our other two centre midfielders are sick.
Feel for the lad really. Finally gets a start but it's at City away in a weakened team. He's on a hiding to nothing tonight.
Those sickness bugs that hit your first team starters. So inconvenient.
Arsenal fans are going to be spewing. Does seem incredibly unlucky that our best fit defender and best midfielder get sick for a game that we're going to get tonked in.

I assume that academy players did not travel with the first team. Hence their absence from the squad and only seven on the bench.
If the absence of Rice, Soucek, Aguerd was planned then Moyes would have drafted in some youngsters. It is still an experienced team.

Possibly the slowest back line in the league against one of the quickest attacks.
Ah well, here we go...
Not I.
