When Pelle was given the wave to return to the bench to come on, he was warming up with Mane. It took him a slight while to realise it was him getting the call.
Is it lack of match sharpness, or confidence - perhaps a half-game with the U21s to try and get him a goal at least.
Yes, the ball was moved closer to the goal, inside the penalty area in fact.
The wall was then pushed back into the goalmouth as a result, in fact it may even have been behind the keeper!
I think some were abusing it to their advantage... i.e. getting a free kick moved to a less threatening area. I do remember one instance of a kick being moved into the penalty area, which meant the wall could go on the goal-line.
It would be a 3-game ban, had Wanyama not been stupid in the Bournemouth game, and then inexplicably again in the Norwich game.
Had it only been a potential 3 match ban, I can see Saints appealing, otherwise it may end up being 6.
It was the same last season - he was constantly grabbing Pelle in the box - I should think Fonte would have had pointed it out to the ref (if Rooney can be in the referee's face every five minutes....)
