Pulis - Team comes first

Stoke manager Tony Pulis admitted he could understand the reaction of Turkey striker Tuncay after substituting him late on in the 2-1 defeat at Hull.Pulis angered Tuncay when he replaced the player because of Abdoulaye Faye's dismissal just six minutes after putting him on.Tuncay shook his head and walked straight down the tunnel but Pulis said: "I've got no problems with that but it still wouldn't stop me doing it again."It is not about me or Tuncay, it is about the team. We had lost a centre-half so we had to put another defender on."
