You're the expert, you tell us! It makes no sense. There’s no good reason. Could it be about his inability to last 90 minutes and he wants to release his power as a supersub in the second half when they are tiring a bit?

Strange looking side.
Hard to know why Burgers not starting unless he’s carrying a knock but he’ll be a huge loss.
Good to see Manhoef starting.
Not sure what Haks brings to the party. Doesn’t do anything particularly well.
I’d imagine it’ll be
Iverson
Hoever McNally Rose Stevens
Laurent Thompson Haks
Bae Mmaee Manhoef
Can see the midfield being overrun and we’ll be vulnerable at set pieces but we’ll see.

He came off early on Monday Perhaps he’s carrying a niggle He shouldn’t be on the bench if he is. Correct. I once had a colleague who asked to come in work at 10am instead of 9am as he had a doctor's appointment. I said to him "If you're free to come in an hour late, then you should be available to come in on time." That showed him.

Hoping Haks proves me wrong, every time I've seen him he looks like a competition winner. Zero end product

It’s not a bad side tbh but that’s just a weird decision.

“If he’s fit enough to be on the bench, he’s fit enough to be playing.” If you are fit enough to sit down and play 10 minutes, you are fit enough to play a full game against a fully fit opposition? Makes sense 😉 If we Thompson breaks his leg in the first minute Burger you would expect would come on. It’s always been a shit argument. You are either fit or not. Do you not understand the concept of risk? It’s unlikely that Thompson will be injured straight away. Burger is still a great option even if carrying a knock but if he doesn’t have to be risked further, why bother? Edit: if you are exhausted, you may not want to drive. If you have an emergency in the house, you may care a little less about being cautious.

If he's able to do 30 mins instead of 60 there's a place on bench for him.
You don't want to disrupt the flow if going well 30 mins into first half.

More like the team that beat Hull,and should have kept the same team against Huddersfield,changed it and was a poor performance, you would think bringing in Baker and Burger would make us stronger, but it doesn't, neither of them pick up runners in midfield, certainly didn't happen against Huddersfield, that's why they have been benched I would guess, more so than anything else,Whelan said on the commentary,that Burger runs around too much,and should be sitting in and dictating play.

Hak’s starting and Burger starting is an odd one.

Limited other options given that Pearson is injured. Sidibe? If we were in midtable and not struggling, he should be starting every game until the end of the season. He seems more like a Laurent replacement than a Burger replacement to me.

Maybe burger has been dropped because he didn't play that well in the last game?

All changes are tactical - JT preferred to burger to give us more speed in thr middle of the pitch.
Burger will have a part to play.

To be fair, Burger was poor last match, and if SS has got over his playing favourites fetish it’s no bad thing.
I’d like to see Sidibe on the bench also - he didn’t look out of place in his early season cameos.

Agree with the formation, but I think it’s more Thompson holding and Laurent and Bae as the two CMs. Manhoef and Hakšabanović will be the two AMs behind Mmaee.

Burger is our best player. Tbh I thought him and Thompson would play today. If he’s fit enough to be on the bench, he’s fit enough to be playing. Just seems an odd one. Yeah, it does. If he’s fit he should be starting. As someone who plays football competitively, no... Being on the bench doesn't mean you can play 90 minutes. We literally have no one else who we could put in the bench, and if he can give us 30 minutes at his most then that's what he can give us with avoiding risks of reoccurring injury. Truth is no one knows. He was poor last game also. If he's fully fit, he should start, but I'm not that shocked really.

And if they’re fit enough to be on the bench they should be starting. Guardiola often puts his best players on the bench. Thomas Frank has Toney on the bench today. Klopp has put Salah on the bench before if he’s not quite right. They’re three fairly decent managers.
