Taking Soares off for Tonge.....

[DelapsWankingArm]

I would ov took of amdy faye and put delap in the middle with diao soares and tonge for me offer alot more going forward.

Taking Soares off for Tongue is a little extreme, tif they are taking him off, it should be for a rest, for treatment or to change the formation. Hoho.

[big bea]

soares is the worst player for stoke this season out of people who have been starting a few times.

I like Soares but he was shit on Saturday and bringing him off was absolutely the right move IMO.

That said, I'd have put Whelan on for Amdy as well.

[petemac]

I also like Soares but his first touch sometimes is piss poor and he has one good one bad game at the moment. Yes he is defo one to develope. I do like the look of Tongue, he seems to get things going when he comes on (similar to Lenny) looks good and composed.

I would have taken Faye (the shit one off), but then I would not have picked him or even allowed him anywhere near a red and white striped shirt in the first place.

I won't take much to get us back to playing how we were prior to Man U, but dropping Faye or Salif is a must.

At home our midfield at any stage of the games should read:
Soares Delap Whelan Tonge

Then revert to:
Delap Diao Faye Tonge to see out a home win!

Soares is crap! FACT

I think that's a bit harsh. As a squad player, I think Amdy's been ok. He was toss on Saturday but was excellent against Villa and played well against Arsenal and West Brom as well.

Diao was the worst player on saturday by a mile and Soares,Tonge,Whelan need minutes on the pitch like Faye,Diao always seem to get who are garbage every week...FACT!!!

I think I agree, you can see that Delap tires a lot by the end. Although we do seem to get a lot of throws in the last 10.

[crimesy]

i wouldnt as he is NOT a one trick pony.

His tackling is OK but sometimes reckless.

He cannot pass, and his awareness of his colleagues is shocking.

He has no pace and very little skill.

His only real plus point is as a stopper between the defense and the opposing attack, but surely we can find someone who can do that who can pass as well?

I don't think it's harsh at all. He was excellent against Villa and Arsenal tho. I think you must have been pissed against WBA because he had the look of a Sunday league player to me. .

[ukstoke1]

Salif was worst player on the pitch? Wasn't he MOM???

[MrMagic]

UK - did you see the amount if people laughing when that was read out. If ever there was an example of pissed-up sponsors staying in the bar and not watching the game this is it.

Reminds me of how Brownsword associates always picked Clive Clarke regardless of how well or badly he played.

Nothing to go on I'm afraid
