Pulis tips side to bounce back

18 September 2009 07:15
Stoke boss Tony Pulis has stressed the need for his players to put last Saturday's agonising injury-time defeat to Chelsea out of their system. The Potters took the lead through Abdoulaye Faye 32nd-minute goal but Didier Drogba equalised on the stroke of half-time and Florent Malouda stunned the home side with a last-gasp winner. Pulis said: "We had a good chat on Monday. I was gutted myself but me and the rest of the staff have to be in the mood to pick people up. "We have to take the defeat on the chin and move on, which is something we've done successfully on a few occasions since we came into the Premier League. There is a terrific spirit in the group and I'm sure we will be ready for Saturday."
