Stoke City boss Tony Pulis had no problem with Tuncay's strop at being hooked during their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.

Turkey international Tuncay showed his frustration after being withdrawn but Pulis said that did not bother him.

"He's a great lad but it makes no difference to me what names they are or what they have or haven't got," added the Potters boss.

"It is all about the team for me, which is more important than any individual.

"I've never changed my philosophy and that's the way it will always be for me."
