Pulis - Goal should have stood

Stoke manager Tony Pulis was disappointed his side were not awarded a goal in their 1-0 defeat to Everton.
The Potters were beaten at Goodison Park with Yakubu's strike midway through the second half enough to see off what had been stubborn resistance by the visitors.
It could have been very different however as Tuncay bundled the ball home from close range eight minutes earlier, only to see his effort disallowed by referee Lee Probert for a dubious-looking push on Leighton Baines.
Pulis was frustrated to see another decision go against him, having already spoken of his annoyance at some decisions given against his team this season.
"It's a good goal looking at it and it's just fell on the wrong side for us. If you have a look, Baines is already going down when Tunny puts the ball in the net or when there's contact he's already gone down," he said.
"You need decisions to go for you at both ends of the pitch, they took their opportunity and ended up winning the game 1-0.
"It's a very poor decision again, but we seem to be on the end of it at the moment, we just have to keep going.
"We can't keep bleating about it and you can't blame the referee for the goal they scored, we've got to get on with our jobs and do our jobs properly.
"But it doesn't help if you're not getting a proper decision go your way. If we'd have scored that goal I think we'd have gone on and won that game."
Pulis has faced a tough time of late, with four defeats in a row in all competitions, and a tricky trip to Sunderland in front of them next up.
However he had a degree of sympathy for his side, with the Potters having just completed three games in a week, with three of their last four games coming away from the Britannia Stadium and their only home fixture against Manchester United.
"We've come here with (Jon) Walters, Tuncay, Kenwyne Jones and (Matthew) Etherington, four forwards, and I think we've got a better squad and can compete," he added.
"But we need to keep clean sheets and that's a big thing.
"For me the team has worked really hard, we've had a three-game week. I'm just desperately disappointed that we haven't got the results.
"If you look at the five games with Sunderland coming up, four of them have been away from home, with the home one being against Manchester United, so we knew it was going to be very tough."
