-----------------Reina----------------- Kelly-----Coates--------Carra--------Enrique ------------Spearing----Lucas---------------- Bellamy--------Adam-------------Suarez -----------------Kuyt---------------------------- Coates is big enough to deal with the aerial threat of Stoke, though his inexperience in the English game is a worry. Spearing deserves a game, he could provide a platform for Adam and co. Adam in a forward role removes his defensive frailties and allows him to concentrate on feeding the forward players. Bellamy will be up for the physical challenge of Stoke and has the pace and guile to get in behind what is a solid, but sluggish defence. Huth/Shawcross/Wilkinson/whoever won't know what to do with Suarez in a left wing/free role. Kuyt deserves a game, Andy should be kept for the Everton game (Jageilka is looking soft at the minute).
