Stoke manager Tony Pulis insists his side need their luck to change to break the "habit of losing". The Potters' 1-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday was their third in a row and the club now sit 14th in the Barclays Premier League. Tuncay Sanli had a goal disallowed for Stoke at Goodison Park and Pulis told the official website: "It was a very poor decision to disallow Tunny's goal and we`ve had a few things go against us in recent weeks. But we`ve got to keep our heads up and battle through this difficult spell because we do need to get some points in the next few games." Tuncay's effort was ruled out for what was deemed a foul on Everton defender Leighton Baines, but Pulis added: "Baines was on his way down when they went shoulder to shoulder, so for that to go against us was very disappointing. "We need that little break because we need to get out of the habit of losing. We are under no illusions about how difficult this season is going to be for us."
