minus lives when collide with enemy not working pygame

I am making a pacman style game in pygame using python and i am trying to make it so that when the player collides with an enemy sprite (monster) the score gets reduced by 1. The code for the monster and player are below and also the code i have tried to minus the score. Any help would be appreciated. I can post the whole game code if this will help.

The code i have tried to minus the player lives when colliding with a monster is below.

for monster in group:
    if player.rect.colliderect(monster.rect):
        player.lives -= 1

I suspect the problem is that you only create livestext at the beginning. The should be re-created each time you print it on the screen. You seem to be drawing the text right at the end, after the game (why then?). So move the livestext=... line to before the blit. The lives may well be doing what you want, but perhaps you can't see it?

Also, I'd recommend making lives an instance member:

Do self.lives=5 in the __init__

and use self.lives instead of lives every time it occurs.
