Vincent Kompany injuries

[BLUEMATT23]

I think he won't play either

Possibly other options are
Walker Ferna Danilo
Just shit that we paid 35 million for a defender and noone has any confidence in him even Pep.

He always starts the season well.

Kolarov was also constantly rotated with Clichy. Didn't help either of 'em. As far as I'm aware he's playing regularly for Roma as a wing back. We occasionally played Kolarov as a wing back, and when that was the case he was usually a threat going forward. The flat back four didn't make the most of his strengths.

I disagree mate, get him on straight off the bat, keep a clean sheet whilst knocking a couple in at the other end then bring him off, job done..

Only play him if he's fit. If he's not fit, he'll over compensate and that can lead to problems. Fully fit - best on the planet both in terms of ability and leadership.

Totally agree mate, that's my point, if he's fit enough to be on the bench I would start him and see how he goes, if he's not fit he shouldn't be on the bench

Dreamt last night that he plays on Saturday - I woke up before the match ended so can’t predict how long he’ll last, sorry!

Did your dream last until the second half at least ? And what was the score at that point ?

 

[Impeccable One]

Or Danilo or Tosin

If he's been training and fit but Pep feels he can't turn to him with Otta out, when will he turn to him? He has to play and if Pep doesn't think he can be risked, it's pretty much over for Kompany.

Yes, I think that logic is difficult to argue with. If not now, when? I just wouldn't play him for more than 45 minutes at the most. That means, of course, that you've got to bring someone else in to replace him. As others have suggested, Danilo could do a job there, so probably could Fernandhino. Even Mangala, possibly, will be less flakey with a solid back line playing round him, and above all a keeper in blistering form behind him. I'd like to try to fair to Mangala. I don't think he's a good footballer, nothing I've seen has made me think otherwise, but he has often been very exposed in the past with what he had next to him and behind him.

We are coming to the crunch with Kompany I think. He hasn't played for about 6-7 weeks, and only returned to full training this week, but it is important that when he returns, he does not break down so I think City maybe a bit cautious. We'll want to know before the transfer window whether Kompany can be an effective player in our squad.

It's a lot longer than 6-7 weeks. He got injured on 31st August which was 11 weeks ago.
