Good team. Lets be having them.
surprised Anderson is not playing
#MUFC Bench: Kuszczak, Owen, Anderson, Smalling, Hernandez, Scholes, J. Evans
Good Bench.
Good Bench.
Nani vs BAE will surely be an area we will look to profit from
Nice team.
As good as any we've put out this season - hope I'm right.

So only no Valencia, Park and Hargreaves......we´ve a nearly full squad. 
Rooney, Berbatov, Nani, Scholoes, Fletcher, Ando, Giggs, Vidic, Rafael, Evra are all so shit there is no chance any of them will score.
Wow. Seriously attacking lineup. Can't complain at that. Must be Rooney wide and giggs behind berb?
Arguably our best team
No chance of Rooney returning to form today.
good team and also some good options on the bench.
Great team. Incredibly strong bench.
So we are all agreed for once. Good line up, good bench options.
Can i sit back and relax for this one ?

The two line-ups both point to goals, probably be a dull 0-0
I´m only surprised that Giggs starts for Anderson.
4-4-2 away from home against Spurs is a bit risky.

4-3-3. Rooney wide like Birmingham.
I would have just played Rooney up front and a 5 man midfield with Anderson. This game is going to be way too open.
Perfect line up.
come on united
Great starting 11, great bench.
COME ON UNITED
COME ON UNITED
Come on united! Let's smash the daylight out of them.
Maybe. We won with a 451 there last year and I thought fergie might replicate it. Having said that if he was looking to do the same I guess ando would play.
Giggs will probably tuck in and Rooney slightly wider.
I told you we'd play 4-4-2
Indeed you did. Your blue peter badge is in the post
EDIT: That conversation seems like an absolute age ago.
Berb up, roo wide I reckon.
I disagree. No natural wide players; either fullback or winger. 4/11 of the team have no natural cover, while 6/11 of the team are covered twice.
Very happy with the line up but at the same time surprised at the lack of Anderson.
Should be an open attacking match.

Remember lads, we're playing at Old Trafford...
Tottenham Hotspur

So if Nani or Rafael take a knock, you think Evans at fullback and Hernandez on the wing count as "good" options?
@Berlinknives
FB is more of an issue, but Fletcher can provide us something from RM if needs be, so we'd just bring Anderson/Scholes on

Surprised Spurs went with Crouch, both teams pretty much as expected though. Should be a cracker.
The football fan in me wishes to see an open and attractive game but I'd take a scrappy 1-0.
If it is indeed 4-4-2 it would suggest Fergie is supremely confident.
I sue hope not, Scholesy.
Could be though, that Giggsy might move inside, making it a three-man midfield with Carrick and Fletcher. Nani on the right side and Rooney on the left - then again, hopefully we won't see that.
I am loving that team. Exactly what I wanted.
why do we need 2 center halfs on the bench?
