Former Sheffield United midfielder Michael Tonge admits he's frustrated by the lack chances he's had at Stoke City this season.

"I would like to have played more games than I have," Tonge - who has made just one league start this season, against Portsmouth - said in the Daily Star.

"But I have just got to wait for my chance. The lads who have been playing have done ever so well so you can't argue with that.

"The manager has said it is not just going to be 11 players who keep us in the league, it is going to be the whole squad.

"Everybody has a really good attitude and we will need that throughout the season."
