After seeing the line up I feel a bit more confident in my optimistic bet that I placed earlier.

Don't care who plays, as long as we just win this.

Can't believe we haven't won the FA Cup in 10 years!

C'mon Moyesy.

Think it's time to stick some money on Swansea winning this one.

I bet if I had a left foot and played for United I'd get in ahead of Fabio.

Not too thrilled by the lineup which means we'll probably win.

Suppose with injuries it's as expected. I'm not a fan of Welbeck and Hernandez as a front two personally, don't think there's any real balanace there, hopefully Kagawa will be given plenty of scope to drift from the left. Still don't get Fabio's absence. Zaha I sort of understand as he's not proven yet at this level, Fabio is though.

Looking over my shoulder.
Why the somethingworsethanfeck is Büttner playing again? He screwed up the last time he played, Fabio scored a goal the last time he played. The pick should be obvious... alas. I also think Smalling should stop playing fullback - I really do like the guy, but mostly as a CB.

Why do I need to get so mad every time United plays? WHY? It's either from playing shit, or from having a shit line-up (not that shit, but please play Fabio)

I just hope that we'll throw everything through the left flank and pretend we don't know what right flank is.

And it's another game where people are surprised and annoyed that Fabio is not playing, just fecking wow guys, get over it.

Disappointed to see the same combination on the right today after it cost us points. Fabio could surely do no worse at right back and Swansea aren't a side you would expect to cause us problems aerially.

Also disappointed that Kagawa appears to be starting on the left although I appreciate we have injuries.

No Nani or Zaha?

That's a bit disappointing given Valencia's player seeking crosses. Also if Buttner bombs on and Kagawa is cutting inside the left flank has a massive bullseye on it so far as Swansea are concerned, or at least it should.

The more I look at that team, the more awful it is. There's not even any Rooney to bail out the weakness of the CM and produce a set piece or moment of quality. And you've got Buttner who's a defensive liability and Rio who's either out of form or past it, which one it is this season.

For feck sakes, do we have to play Smalling and Valencia. I hope Kagawa has a decent game, he's the only creative player in that midfield but I don't think he's ever had a decent game for us from the left.

I'd hope that it's 4-5-1 with Welbeck on the left and Kagawa behind Chicha but I'm 99% confident that that won't be the case.

Welbeck is on a run of good goalscoring form, so I'd personally prefer him play centrally.

Disappointed to see Smalling & Valencia starting down the right, would rather see Fabio and Zaha given a chance.

I'm gonna put my neck out and say Buttner will have a good game. I'd rather have him at left back than Smalling on the right.
