Vincent Kompany - 2017/18 performances

[paull1]

Needs a run of games. Those silly lunges are all down to match sharpness. let's hope he can stay fit

A few overreactions in this thread after the game, saying he is finished. I have rewatched his last two games. Vs Leicester he was fine apart from the tackle on Vardy. Yesterday wasnt a great performance, but isnt he allowed to have an off game having played brilliant in almost every game the last 7 years? And this myth that he is a poor passer is nothing but that, a myth. Obviously Stones is our best ball playing CB, but Vinnys passing is really underestimated among some of our fans.

well his passing gave me heart failure last night....how many times was he so so close to getting it intercepted in key areas. You cant keep doing that and not get picked off sooner or later.

We probably won't see the good old Kompany ever again. So many injuries just have to cause some consequences. He is still capable to do the job in some games but for me Stones and otamendi should always be the first choice.

His passing was poor yesterday, but that doesent mean he is always poor in the build up. Actually, i thought the whole teams passing was poor. I do agree that at the moment, Stones and Otamendi is our best partnership, and Vinny has got to fight to prove he deserves to start ahead of Nico when Stones returns.

Anyone know what his current issue is?

Pep saying he was not available to play today.

I presume saving him for Sunday.

This is slightly worrying

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

M.E.N reporting he could miss the game at weekend? Hope we buy a CB in Jan....for different reasons we cant account on Kompany or Mangala to do a job for us!

But Pep Guardiola was forced to deploy Fernandinho in the middle of a back three when Kompany felt discomfort ahead of the 2-1 Champions League defeat.

"Kompany didn't feel good," said Guardiola. "I wanted to make him play, but he didn't feel good so it was an opportunity for the others play. "

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It's worrying that he couldn't play, but probably even more worrying that Pep wanted him to.

He will be up for this Sunday,the game he looks forward to the most,and will lead us to victory v them.....again

I agree, I think it is all smoke and mirrors. We have seen how Vinnie views the derby and he will be buzzing and making sure all the newbies are too. Bring it on raggies

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Is he actually injured? Last thing we need is Vinny out again.

 

[Easy]

Don’t know if posted. Vinny speaks on the derby.

according to various sources VK is doubtful , if that is the case i would move Dinho to centre back , i know we lack height but Mangala is not suited to our football playing out from the back and will also make mistakes , and would rather have a 80% fit Vinny than risk Mangala.

 

[manimanc]

I'd stick tosin in there, he's got to spread his wings one day and I thought he did alright in shakhtar. Tall, got a good turn of pace and a great touch. Throw him in I'd say, it's obvious vinnie isn't 100%.

I’d agree Fernandinho to CB if Vinny’s injures. I might be tempted to put Gundogan in midfield because I think they’ll man mark Silva and KDB.

Yeah, I like Tosin's height, pace and tackle. Not so much his touch though.Not just yet.

 

[Dax777]

It has to be Mangala or Tosin. You can't weaken 2 positions. Leave Dihno alone and find a defender to fill in.

Doesn’t appear to be in the Instagram pic the club posted earlier. Not conclusive that he isn’t in it but he’s usually easy to spot. On the plus side, Delph is clear visible.
