You can tell its serious because I've dropped Tony Hibbert..

Lineup - David Moyes' Famous 4-5-1 (or 4-1-1-2-1-1 however you look at it)

--------------------------8.Saha----------------------------
-------------------------17. Cahill-------------------------
---20. Piennar--------------------------------------7. Bilyaletdinov
-----------------------------------10. Arteta---------------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------25. Fellaini------------------------
--3. Baines---15. Distin----------6. Jagielka---18. Neville (c)
------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------24.Howard--------------------------

Subsitutes

1. Carlo Nash
2. Tony Hibbert
4. Joseph Yobo
26. Jack Rodwell
21. Leon Osman
22. Yakubu
??. Landon Donovan

I just think that coleman instead of hibber on the bench would be perfect

I like it but you've got to put Heitinga somewhere in there.
 
If every player in the squad was fit & on form, for a cup final my 11 would be almost identical to the 1 posted by number 25 there

GK: Howard
RB: Neville
LB: Baines
CB: Distin
CB: Jagielka
DM: Rodwell
CM: Arteta
RM: Bilyaletdinov
LM: Pienaar
AM: Cahill
CF: Saha

The back 5 don't need explaining & while I hate the idea of dropping Heitinga & Fellaini due to the form they've been in recently, I think a fully fit & Rodwell is a complete midfielder, he hasn't shown his best ability this season but the lad's a class act. Again, Cahill hasn't shown his best form this season, being played everywhere in midfield hasn't helped him but make no mistake, he's still got a huge amount to offer & when he gets a couple of goals under his belt I feel certain we'll see it again.

It shows the depth of the squad that we have when you think that my bench would have the likes of Yobo, Heitinga, Fellaini & Yakubu on it, with the likes of Hibbert, Neill & Coleman fighting for a place on it. Also shows how bad the injuries have been this season

I want to have Fellaini in there somewhere, but I also want Neville partnering Arteta, so...

Howard
Neill-Jagielka-Distin-Baines
Bilyaletdinov-Fellaini-Neville-Arteta-Pienaar
Saha​

Or something like that. Push Pienaar and Bilyaletdinov further forward and more centrally, so something like Arsenals system, switching between a 4-5-1 and a 4-3-3. Plenty of steel, plenty of creativity. It just needs Pienaar to score more regularly and it'd be perfect.

And Yak and Cahill as super subs
 

moyesy' gonna have to take painkillers cuz he's gonna heve some bad headaches if all players are fit and on song.."how can i play hibbert,osman in the same team"...moyes feb/march 09

I'd go with this EXCEPT Heitinga in for Fellaini at DM. Now don't shoot me. I understand that Fellaini is on top form. So. With that being said, I'd put Fellaini in for Cahill at the moment and have Cahill on the subs bench at the expense of Osman or Donovan.
 
With a completely fit squad it all comes down to form for me, although these 7 would be starters everytime (y)

Howard
Neville
Jags
Baines
Heitinga
Arteta
Peanut
