I reckon after today's game, T.P should keep playing him.
He was on fire in his first start against Spurs, and he was outstanding again today.
Permanant first team place maybe?
Im thinking we play him on one wing, and Tonge on the other.

He played well but at the same time TP got the timing of his sub spot on. I'd play either one of them on the wing and then do what we did today.

Stoketom, are you trying to get attention? Bit bored tonight! Soares was far from good! Tonge was 5 times the player!

Thought Soares was pretty poor today to be honest, especially his crossing. Only decent bit of play was just before he got subbed!

Yeah, im trying to get attention?
I think Soares was cracking today mate. Tonge was good too, im not taking that away from the lad.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so dont start slating someone for putting theirs down.

Taw I totally agree. I laughed to myself when Pulis took him off as I thought he looked his most promising! Hasn't impressed me greatly at all.

You sometimes wonder if people are watching the same game as you ?? At what stage of the game was Soares 'cracking'??. Not saying i dont rate the lad but as i said pretty poor today.

Again, I was thinking the same. What did people see that I didn't? I look for the best from Stoke players but I haven't seen too much from Soares. I am sure he will improve tho

He will improve, even if we do have different opinions.
He is only young, but i think if Tone works on him a bit, he could turn out even better.
He can play well, got pace, skill and can cross a ball very well.
He's going to be a top player in my opinion.

Do think he has potential stoketom but just on todays showing felt he came up short.Do think he would be helped with a more attacking mentality from our midfield though.

I thought he was OK, nothing spectacular. Tonge looked class to me though when he came on.
We're missing Lenny though.

I want to see more of Tonge (and Soares in the future)

We're missing Lenny though. See, i dont think we are really. Look at the games we had without him...we beat Arsenal, Spurs and Boing boing baggie shit, all at home. I think that Soares and Tonge are better players than him. This time last year, id be killed for saying that i dont think Lenny should play. |

Ha ha Tom! I promise I am not being contrart but we miss Lenny!! He is alot better than Saores at this moment in their careers

Post by swampySCFC on Nov 22, 2008 22:43:14 GMT
Lennys crosses are quality. afraid Soares'are'nt at the moment.
And of course 15 goals last year.
Is it a case of out of sight out of mind.

Post by AstroTom on Nov 22, 2008 22:43:23 GMT
Haha fair play. I will agree though that Lenny has got more experience, and when he is playing properly, like he wants to play, he can be one of our best players... Its just so far this season, he hasnt really cut it. (well, the games he has played  ) |

It would help if he wasnt fucking about off the pitch.

I thought Soares did well but there You go! His corners were good which is something we've been lacking.

In the first half, all of his deliveries were spot on. In the second he had two that were very poor. Apart from them he looks solid.

He played alright yesterday without being as good as he was againt Spurs. I was impressed with Tonge after he came on though. I'd like to see one on each wing but I doubt it'll happen.

Soares delivery was poor, both from deadballs and on the run. He's a good player, great with the ball at his feet and skips past players, but with no end product , he needs to work on that .
He was NOT great yesterday, and I thought Tonge did more usefull things in his time on the pitch .
He's still young, and if he can work on his delivery he will be a very useful buy, he needs to spend a bit of extra time after training working on it, he needs to make the effort to work on it as often as possible to improve that aspect of his game , if he could get his delivery worked on he could be an exceptional player

He was superb against Spurs... but yesterday?... weak.
Looked out of his depth and his delivery (barr one or two) were terrible. Hasn't earned a first team place yet.
Thought Tonge was superb when he came on.
