fabio wont play

i hope rooney makes the bench because we really struggle without him

Big blow if he doesn't make it.

We'll have to defend ruddy well for a change because I don't see a glut of goals in us without those two.

Rooney will play

Welbeck's form is our only hope for some goals

I doubt he will, Moyes didn't seem too optimistic in his presser. He's not trained and he's meant to have 3 weeks rest with his groin problem but since we have no one else to fill his void he is being rushed to play.

Chicharito should not be starting games for us.

In fairness, that's about the strongest team we can put out taking into consideration all the injuries, however, to me it highlights how weak our squad is. I am not confident that that team will win tomorrow. Where will the inspiration come from?

We better hope our back 5 are on song and we can pinch a goal or two.

if rooney doesnt play, then id go with

----------------------------------De Gea---------------------------------

Smalling-----------Jones-------------Evans-------------Evra

Valencia------------Carrick---------Fletcher------------Young

--------------------------------Januzaj-----------------------------

-------------------------------Welbeck----------------------------

Inspiration will come from Danny "the English Henry" Welbeck.

yep would go along with that

Carrick and Fletcher is too defensive, at least with Clevs he'll get forward and maybe help set a goal up with the other attackers.

Welbeck is a very in form striker right now. I was talking to Danny the other day and he said some crazy Indian guy had been sending him hate mail and it inspired him to bury every chance he's been getting.

I also gave tins of beans to Bebe and his family this christmas.

Every little helps.

i'd have cleverley in there.

hasnt been that bad recently.

Also not seen Adnan play behind the striker for us, he's usually out wide.

We might finally see something I have hoped to see for a while.... Welbz and Kagawa (unless he is injured too?)

------------------DDG----------------
--Smallo - Evans - Vidic - Evra---
Young - Carrick - Clevs - Januzaj
-----------------Kagawa--------------
------------------Welbo---------------

I really hope it isn't that team above.

from De Gea's legs........*

Spurs are missing Paulinho, Sandro and Walker so it's not all bad.

why doesnt anyone want Kagawa playing?

DG Legs - I suspect we will see Cleverley in there for Fletcher. I would go with that team then, I just never feel confident when Hernandez starts. We certainly need to defend properly though or it will be another home defeat!!!

that does look a better team to be fair

JSP - I have a feeling Valencia will certainly start - not sure who will play on the left though - Young or Januzaj

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because he's not doing enough when he does.

I'd go Welbeck and Hernandez. Neither look that good upfront alone but with a partner they both look better.
