Pulis praises Kenwyne Jones return to form
Potters boss Tony Pulis has praised http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kenwyne-Jones-c20659’ performance in Stoke City’s win over Everton last weekend. Kenwyne Jones scored the opener against Everton, which was also his first goal for the club since November. Pulis’ eight million pound signing has
scored seven times this season, and is one of the key members of the Stoke City squad.
Pulis said, "Kenwyne has done smashing. Although his performances may have dipped a little bit, we have great belief in him. Playing with two wingers suits him and his goal was a fantastic header. There were a few moans and groans but you get that at most
grounds. They were brilliant with him; I'm so pleased for him.”
The Stoke City manager continued, “Kenwyne has had an issue off the field which I don't want to go into, it's a family thing. He's a loving kid and a good kid. It might have affected him a little bit but we have dealt with it the way we do. I've put no pressure
on him and let him do it. I was very pleased with the goal today and I think that gave him the confidence to play as well as he did."
