For Joe, I think his best position would be behind Torres, in a fairly free role in which I am sure he would be capable of creating plenty of chances for the Spaniard as well as knocking them in himself.
However, with Gerrard fairly certain to be playing in this position, Cole would have to be playing out wide, and Meireles in central midfield (with Lucas).
So I'd have Cole on one of the wings.
Since our other wingers have been far from exceptional so far this season, I'd put Jovanovic, Maxi and Kuyt all in a big bag, shake it up a bit, and pick out one of their names randomly every week to play on the other wing.
Or drop the lot of them and play Pacheco.
And don't think I haven't forgotten Babel. I put him in another bag, sealed it, and chucked it in the Mersey.
