Tony Pulis wants more goals

Tony Pulis has said that he wants Stoke City to score more goals from midfield.

Stoke have managed just eight Premier League goals from midfield and wide this season.

"I want to get more goals off them," Pulis said. "Where we've been a little bit disappointing is the fact we haven't scored enough goals from other areas.

"That's what we've got to look at and analyse. We could do with more goals from wide and midfield - it's something we'll look at an talk about further down the line.

"They get opportunities, there's no question of that, given the number of balls we get forward. They've got to contribute more to help us score more."

Stoke are currently ninth in the Premier League, 30 points of leaders Manchester City.
