The predictable drop off...

[Pentridge]

That's the scoop on Mane as I've heard it too.

Koeman is a harsh taskmaster in that respect.

Quite right too, I hate it when people have tardy timekeeping.

I don't have a problem with Managers taking charge of players rather than the other way around. Did it cost us the game, who knows? I doubt it, but it did send a message that everyone needs to stay together as one.

Has it begun? Have we been found out?
I think it's time to drop Pelle, he's ineffective and something needs to be changed.

Discuss..

I have had this discussion with Oz. Basically we cant drop Pelle because there is no like for like replacement and he is important to the way we play. Like it or not, he is what we have got up front for the remainder of the season. He is off form no doubt, but as has already been said the service to him is poor. I noticed in the second half Pelle often seemed to be coming short or running into the wrong space, consequently when the ball was delivered, he wasn't where he should have been.

With regard to Marne apparently he was benched for turning up late. Maybe we hurt ourselves by drooping him but I wholeheartedly agree with Koeman's stance on this issue. However when he did make an appearance for me it was screaming out for him to play down the middle, off Pelle - not wide where Liverpoo
