The writings of Mulla Ali Qari and Imam Zahid Kawthari make it clear that the differences with regards to the ambigos attributes of Allah (face, hand etc.) have been an issue of contention from the very very early days between the ahnaf/maturidis and the many amongst the hanabilah. Imam Kawthari (i believe it was him) even mention that Imam Ahmad Ibn Hambal's son adopted the "salafi" position. Mulla Ali Qari sometimes make references to the heretics hiding amongst the hanabilah in his sharh of fiqh al akbar.

I'm content with the fatwa of Mufti Taqi uthmani which has been posted earlier on various occasions. in reality the salafis use a language that can be problematic but they don't actually view Allah in a physical sense therefore they are not anthropomorphists. im content with strict relegation with regards to these attributes which is what Imam Abu Hanifa promotes in Fiqh Al Akbar (if i can recall correctly), i do not take a metephorical interpetation, nor a literal one.

I don't wish to speak any further on aqeedah. all fo this boils down to a difference in wording while no one actually believes ascribes anything like the creation to allah...thats enough for me.
