Soares just isn't up to it! I have seen NOTHING from him. He isn't pacey, he isn't skillful, he isn't trcky and he isn't hard working! What does Pulis and some people on here see in him? He is soft as well! How many challenges does he pull out of?
I am sorry, but I don't see it whatsoever!

i thought his balls into the box wern't good enough today. I can't knock his commitment but he lost the ball to many times today. We really need a quick pacey winger

ok I will give him about 20 mins in one game, but apart from that?

He's been schit for us, only one good game against Spurs which isn't good enough. Tongey looks far better.

Had a poor game today but i wouldnt write him off totally just yet. The Spurs game shows he has potential and he is still young so i think he should be given another chance

We do need a winger,but we need to stay up this season by whatever means.When our survival is secured then we can start to add more glitz to the team

Mediocre Championship player as are Tonge and Olafinjana. We are missing Lawrence and it was little surprise that Pulis was talking about signing players in the New Year when he spoke after the game. Our honest endeavour has put us in a sound position for this stage in the season, but we might now be able to attract more 'quality' who will ensure a second season in this League.
I must admit I am still loving every minute of being in the Premiership.

Me and Ukstoke nearly ended up ripping each others head off last week with this exact argument...
Im gonna be honest now Ukstoke. I give in, he was absolutely awful today, and Tonge looked far better when he came on.
Saying that, i dont think anybody played particularly well today. It was a dull game, and we played bad against a really crap team that we ought to be beating.

I have to disagree there, Tonge and Olly have looked great value for money, and i was somewhat surprised that TP didnt start both of them today. |

TP wanted to keep to the winning team from last week, he can be stubborn at times!

By the looks of him, his confidence is a little shot.
He'll be back though

To be honest with you mate, he didnt look like he could play in the championship with todays performance.
Im gonna go with you, and say that Tonge is looking the better man.
It would be best if he played Tonge for an hour, then Soares on for the last 30 or so.

Can we just add the word YET to that? He's patchy so far and you'd have to say he hasn't made the transition, but we've seen quality at times too. Realistically I'd say he's a squad player/'one for the future' who's having to do more than he's up to yet because the real signings in that position didn't come in, let's hope they do in January.
Meanwhile yes, Tonge's a lot more solid. He feels like a proper Stoke player.

when you have a team as big as ours set pieces are crucial,his deliveries were poor today and the same same against w.brom,lawrence was also not at his best before he got injured.

He just needs a run in the team to get his confidence up, i don't know how you can say he has no pace? he is the second quickest in the team behind Fuller!
Don't forget his prefered position is in CM - and speaking of CM how can A Faye still get a game? he offers us nothing, he is not as good as Diao in a tackle, he is no good at passing, he has no pace, he can't shoot, he reminds me of Russell - but at least Russell ran around alot!
Give Soares Time he will come good, i'd like to see a team with him and Tonge in with Delap in the Middle with Diao
