Stoke City boss Tony Pulis had no problem with Tuncay's strop after being hooked during yesterday's 2-1 defeat to Hull.

Pulis angered striker Tuncay when he substituted the player just six minutes after bringing him on, because of Abdoulaye Faye's red card.

Tuncay shook his head and walked straight down the tunnel, but Pulis could understand his reaction.

He said: "I've got no problems with that, but it still won't stop me doing it again.

"It is not about me or Tuncay; it is about the team. We have lost a centre-half, so we had to put another defender on."
