Player thread: Vincent Kompany (2014/15)

[malg]

So why are the asking a question I've answered? Are you a bit slow?

Nobody on this forum is as clever as you.... So you 'think' anyway Mr Boring carry on with your 'anal' ramblings...I pity your wife.... That's if you have one?

It seems "yes" was the word you were looking for there mate.

It's hilarious that I have elicited this reaction out of you because I dared to suggest that perhaps we should remove the captaincy from a player and gave a big list of reasons why and told the logic behind it. I'm not sure if you understand how ridiculous this is making you look.

Stop dodging the issue........are you married?

I keep telling you that I'm not interested mate.

vinny was the best player in a city shirt against burnley , didnt put a foot wrong , maybe his distribution could have been better , but he got back to basics and cleared his lines , hopefully a first step back to the CAPTAIN we know and love.

This isn't the Vinny we want, I want to see the commanding composed leader of the last four years NOT the 'scared to death of making a mistake' player I saw hoofing the ball as far away from himself that I saw yesterday.

We had a world class central defender on our hands before we turned from a defensively sound unit into the kamikazi attacking outfit we've become. Burnley's Boyd has been doing the media rounds and saying what many have known & been pointing out for the last 18 months, we're far too open at the back when we attack and are generally short of numbers in defence when our attacks break down as our players don't track back in sufficient numbers.

Even Shaun Dyche and his Burnley outfit have sussed how to beat us because we lack the basic ability to remain tight at the back. I just hope for our sakes that we claim a top 3 finish this season and have the summer to reflect, recruit and make changes where necessary. I don't think wholsale changes to our squad are needed, but I dread going into next season with the same clueless & predictable 442 formation without the squad to play it at the highest level.

All players have bad spells but in all honesty, he hasnt been 100% all season Really, pretty poor at times.. if it carries on which im sure he's got it in him to get back to his as we all know him, then he should be dropped the odd game again, i dont think it does any player any harm IMO.

You maybe right about his foot but his woeful header that fell straight to the feet of Boyd ( you could see his anguish as soon as it left his head ) cost us another two points.

First rule of thumb when you defend with the head do not head into on coming traffic especially if you don't know the colour of the shirt.

Can't blame him for the goal but the spotlight is on him so a normal header gets scrutinised where if it were a Demichelis header it wouldn't.

I find it incredible that its been allowed to come to this and there seems to be no desire to try and tighten things up. I think thats one of the reasons I fell off the fence yesterday because although I do think its admirable to a degree that the man likes to stick to his attacking principles, when it so blatantly isnt working.....change it for fucks sake.

I don't se any kamikaze attacking football

If only there was

We still have a lot of possession but the build up play is slow and predictable meanng we get few shots on goal

I'm sure it's you lot that are mad and not me. I don't see City's defence under siege with \hart getting hammered from all angles, we're just under par going forward, and our game has dropped a lot. Whatever the problem is it's not tactical

Since the takeover, I don't think I've ever seen our defence as exposed as it has been this season and while you could hardly call our attacking play kamikaze (at the moment) time after time we seem to commit way too many forward leaving no cover. Very much tactical imo, if it ain't working and we keep getting hit on the break as a result (which we do)....change it.

I am very much still mad tho, my judgement may well be clouded by rage :D
