No surprise to see Liverpool go full strength. They need to win games like this to give the players and fans belief they can do something in the league. United may need to do the same to give some fans belief (the ones who seem to doubt Moyes already)
Yep, and fair play. We are struggling, they just beat us, why not go for it at our place?
Januzaj please! And not Young! Everything else is fine by me.
Are Liverpool playing one of the strikers on the wing or both up front?
What channel is this on?
Giggs and Jones CM? Ewwww
Giggs and Jones.
Jones - Giggs centre mid partnership. 
Interesting CM partnership.
That CM
Did Fergie choose that?
I'd be disappointed if Giggs starts ahead of Nani/Kagawa/Hernandez. Nothing Moyes shouldn't know about Giggs and these guys need time given how Moyes hasn't really given them all the sub appearances he could have.
Liverpool do look strong, will make it all the better a test for the team after Sunday I guess.
That CM
Jones and Giggs in CM, really? I mean really?
I'm sure Giggs' experience will pull us through this tie.
Moyes has had a phone call with Sir Alex I see.
Giggs-Jones in midfield.. Buttner-Evans-Smalling at the back versus a full strength Liverpool.... This should be interesting!
Define 'interesting'.
Fabio on the bench, Buttner starts. Great..
It's like Fergie hasn't gone anywhere
Before people go into meltdown, I'd expect Rooney in there around the midfield and Kagawa obviously dropping in there too. It won't be a basic two in the middle of Jones/Giggs.
Still, Nani, Kagawa and Hernandez
RAFAEL!! we'll gonna beat them good.. 4-0
Hmm strange lineup, be interesting to see how it goes. I beg of Nani and Kagawa to play good for a change!
Based on the teams, Liverpool should win.
That CM is hilarious!
Had this not been a League Cup fixture, then surely this place would have imploded by now?

Just supping up in Chorlton. Not as excited as usual. Let's hope it is just cos I'm knackered.
We need a passionate response from the players tonight. If a few squad players play, I'd expect them to want to impress. Moyes needs to realise he has quality options.

Delighted to see Kagawa, Nani and Hernandez start but Giggs-Jones....wtf?!
Its a shame Fellaini's cuptied, would have been perfect for a game like this.

I'd hope so or we will get overrun!Gutted I can't see this and have to follow on text commentary
That midfield. Jesus.
Twitter: "Jones-Giggs CM pair may just be competing with Rafael-Park as the weakest in MUFC's recent history."
He does have a point.
He does have a point.
Wow... I cannot understand why Anderson/Cleverley aren't starting.
Making Rooney captain is a pretty transparent attempt to settle him down.
Moyes is taking the piss here... fielding Giggs and Jones in central midfield. Christ!
Wow. Didn't think we could beat the midfield of Giggs-Ando that we played last season in this cup at Stamford Bridge.
It's Giggs and Jones in midfield. Soz
Moyes has got to be shitting us with that lineup. Can see us getting whipped here.
