I'm not one to automatically jump on the manager as soon as we have a bad result, but I feel Kenny has to take the blame for this result.
Five defenders at home to Stoke is just not acceptable. Okay, you may say Johnson and Enrique were wingbacks so there were only really 3 defenders, but even with a back 4 all season, those 2 players have been bombing forward, so that doesn't excuse it.
Carroll should have started today. Kuyt doesn't have what it takes to play the lone striker role.
We do need to sign a striker and a right winger, but those tactics for a home game aren't good enough. Yet another 2 points dropped at home.
