I think against most teams in the league we should be playing 2 strikers at home, if we went with 3 at the back with Kaboul/Thudd/Wilson in front of them to protect/receive/break up/ bring the ball out/ hit an early ball out to midfield, the number 5 being dependent on our opponent.
6/7 as wing backs, Lennon doesn't get enough praise for his defensive work IMO with Bale on the left, if the opponent has a tricky winger you use Hutton or Benny instead of Lennon or Bale so we still keep an attacking threat and pace but with a bit more protection on that wing.
8/9 Rafa and Luka both can drop deep and receive the ball under pressure both can play a killer pass either out to the wing or through the middle so one stays high one drops deep and both work their barbarians off for the team.
10/11 Defoe and Pav i believe is our strongest pairing each creates space for the other.
1.Gomes
2.Kaboul/Daws
3.Daws/Gallas
4.Bassong
5.Kaboul/Thudd/Wilson
6.Lennon/Hutton
7.Bale/Benny
8.Rafa/Piennar
9.Luka/Piennar
10.Pav/?
11.Defoe
Or should i lay off the strong cheese?
