A pair of deckchairs would look very strong against Crouch, he has been woeful.

Deco 
Thought that myself, James didn't do all that great.
After a good day yesterday with Ashton, Torres and Nasri - my FF side is crying after James today
Chelsea looked solid, Portsmouth looked crap. James upto his usual tricks.
United team:
GK: VDS
RB: Brown
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Vidic
LB: Evra
RM: Fletcher
CM: Carrick
CM: Scholes
LM: Giggs
CF: Campbell
CF: Rooney
Happy to see Brown get the nod ahead of Neville. Tevez has had a death in the family apparantly which sucks but nevermind. Gonna be a close game I think.

Wayne Rooney recovers from a virus to lead the line for Manchester United and he is partnered by youngster Frazier Campbell, as Carlos Tevez has flown back to Argentina following a family bereavement
I didn't realise Tevez wasn't playing
So we have one unfit striker and one unproved one? I hope we sign someone soon.

However.
Portsmouth pretty much stood there and let Chelsea pick how many goals they wanted. Quite how Deco scored that is beyond me, David James should have saved that easily, rather than just palm it into his own net.
And of course, we'll see the "performance of the season" from Pompey a week tomorrow.
I assume Saha will never pull on a United shirt again?

NUFC: Shay Given, Habib Beye, Charles N'Zogbia, Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor, Nicky Butt (c), Danny Guthrie, Jonas Gutierrez, Damien Duff, Oba Martins
Subs: Steve Harper, Jose Enrique, Geremi, Alan Smith, David Edgar, Sebastien Bassong, Ryan Donaldson
Not sure why we've only named ten players.
BBC say Milner playing now! Phew

Our teamsheet just looks crap, if Rooney doesn't score I can't see who else will.
Rafael and Rodders on the bench though

Strongish side for us today then, our back 5 is the strongest we could put out.
Nice to see Campbell start, he had a good game when he came on against Pompy.
Fletch was hot and cold in that game, did really well at times and had some flops at others.
Shame for Tevez

If he stays fit then probably, I like Saha - his quick and a good finisher. He just spends most of his time in bed with a hotwater bottle or on crutches.
