Maybe we don't want to risk Fabio for the City game or maybe we want Smalling available for the City game and he needs match time.
Like the line-up. In fact I fecking love it.
I'm surprised Nani isn't on the bench though.
I don't think he'll want to play Fabio at Eastlands... so giving Smalling some game time before that.
Suspended.
Now white text?
Where the feck is Nani? Was hoping he'd finally get a start.
Might just be for the aerial duels, Smalling is solid in the air.

Right. hope he starts against City ahead of Young.
I don't want to moan because there's nothing wrong with the Rio-Vidic partnership, but the lack of games Evans has been given is a bit concerning. He was as good as Rio last season and is hardly young and inexperienced now.

I don't think that one will catch on

Wow. What a line-up.. City Sunday and Liverpool next week (cup I know) but I'm impressed with the team.
Was sure he wouldn't play both Ferdinand and Vidic.

The line up makes me erect.
bench?

I like this team. I hope we get to see it for a few games with Rafael coming in for Smalling and Nani for Valencia.
Great team.
The bench isn't very inspiring though

Anyone know anything about their left winger? Worry a bit about Smalling's turning circle. Decent for a centre back, woeful for a full back.

I hope so
Where is Nani? Injured?
Cracking line-up, though I wouldn't expect much from our right wing with Smalling/Valencia teaming up. Excellent that Giggsy isn't in the squad either... I hope he only comes back in emergency cases, as much as I love him (I also hope he isn't saved for City away on Sunday...). COME ON UNITED!
One of the best impact subs in world football for me.
Bold but, Hernandez ability coming off the bench is amazing.
Otherwise, nothing special I agree but we start the game with lots of firepower so it shouldn't be much of a concern.
Suspended from his ridiculous red card against Real.
Yes. Apart from Nani, that's the best line up we could've used. No Jones on the right, we went with Smalling with is middle ground between Fabio and him.
Carrick and Fellaini brings me so much happiness, and Shinji/Rooney/RVP.
Rejoice! We'll win 8-0.
Nice team, guess need to see fellaini and carreick gel ahead of city. Reckon smalling is in for his height. Bit suprised at giggs not playing, reckon unless its an injury he's a cert to start against city unless kagawa has a brilliant game and looks fit. An sure welbeck will play if he's fit so only one space left.
thats a great team. Lets hope Moyes has it playing to its strength.
Attack Attack Attack.
Attack Attack Attack.
Yeah, true enough but nothing much in the way of creativity from the bench. Will have to hope Valencia is on his game today as unlikely as it might be
4-3-3 with Valencia sitting closer to Carrick and Fellaini would be the best utilization of that line up for my money.
Great team selection.
You're all very welcome.
Great looking line up, not the biggest fan of Smalling as a fullback, but it's not exactly a big issue.
Spectacular. There can be no excuses tonight, short of Rafael and Nani coming in for Smalling and Valencia that is basically our best XI.
Love that team!
Looking forward to this. Guess it will be Kagawa left but it will be interesting if Moyes changes it and goes for Rooney there

Surely you'd want kagawa tucked in rather than Valencia? Otherwise would becom very narrow and not like smalling gonna give much on the right. I'd rather let kagawa drift from the left with Valencia providing the balance by maintaining his width.
No Bender today, Emre Can is surprisingly starting for Leverkusen.
Leno - Boenisch, Toprak, Spahic, Donati - Rolfes, Reinartz, Can - Son, Kießling, Sam
