Could Dusan Tadic have earned his place back in the starting line up for the trip to Manchester United, find out what Ronald Koeman thinks here.
Dusan Tadic has had a great impact off the bench in the last two games and he will be eager to repeat his match winning goal at Old Trafford last January, but wil he have to do it off the bench again or has he done enough to earn a recall to the starting XI, Ronald Koeman has given his thoughts on the prospects in the pre match press conference.
"He had a big impact when he came off the bench, scoring goals and assisting in the last part of attacking.
"Sometimes from the beginning it's not so important or not really that level what he showed when he came off the bench.
"It’s difficult because in the last part of the game you maybe get more space.
"I think we need DuÅ¡an on his level, and of course if he doesn’t start normally it’s the reason that I think another player in that position can bring more to the team.
"He has to keep working, keep fighting and show his qualities.”
While Koeman admits it’s difficult to change a winning side, Saturday’s game may present Tadić with the opportunity to come back in from the start.
"It’s sometimes difficult because if the team is doing well, the team is winning and the player has his impact when he comes off the bench, then you don’t change a winning team,” Koeman added.
"It’s a little about the system, a little about the opponent and in the aspects we change sometimes players or positions. We will see what happens on Saturday.”
