given what is available that's the right team. Cuellar just coming back from injury should be on the bench and especially in light of Baker's performance at the weekend. I thought Warnock was also very good in midfield.

Nice to see a little bit of experience on the bench for once.

Cuellar, if fit, should play against Stoke, Baker was out moved by Ivanovic for both the Chelsea goals that he scored against us from set plays.

Bannan - I would have gone Garnder on sheer size.

Apart from that, fingers crossed eh...

Where did Licaj play versus Liverpool.  Basically what formation does that team play?
Looks a bit disjointed to me.

Lichaj plays LB. That's a 4-1-3-2 formation, Herd sitting in front of the back 4, Bannan and Warnock playing wide either side with Ireland in the hole behind the forwards

It appears to lack genuine width for me, but in AMc defence there aren'y many other options.
