Jon Flanagan on playing against Arsenal - “It was great to be back in the team and get the chance to play but it would have been more enjoyable if we had got a decent result. “I only found out I was playing a couple of hours before kick-off. We had a team meeting beforehand and it became clear that Jonno was struggling. “The manager told me I was starting and I just had to make sure I was ready. It had been a long time since I last played in the Premier League. “There were a few nerves but once the game started I was just focused on getting into the game and doing my job for the team. “I played in the game at the Emirates a couple of years ago so I knew what to expect. “I felt like I did okay but to be honest it was all about the result and we were all frustrated by the defeat.” Flanagan could head out on loan in the new year - “I had a tough time with injuries but hopefully that’s all behind me now. I’ve just been training hard, giving 100% and trying to force my way into the manager’s plans. “Hopefully I can get another chance and keep showing what I can do. “If I don’t get another chance then a loan is certainly a possibility. Everyone wants to play games.”
