Vincent Kompany - 2016/17 performances

[Gabriel]

I feel for him and hope he makes a full recovery, but while others are focussing on the wayward passing, I'd put more focus on his lack of movement when we're in possession. He's good when we're under pressure, but he's static when we've got the ball and are seeking to play out of the press. If he's not moving smartly, we have less space and time, which in turn means he runs a greater risk of conceding possession with poor passes.

As much as we missed him second half, I think it was shown up by the lack of a decent replacement.

Went to pot second half when he was replaced by Kolarov. CB and LB in the summer.

Carragher: Kompany's withdrawal was the difference
After being so scathing of Ibrahimovic at half time, Jamie Carragher says that the withdrawal of Vincent Kompany allowed the Swede to express himself more after the break, because the Belgian was “bullying” him in the first half!

In the second 45, Otamendi was very poor and that gave opportunities to United’s front players.

agree.....stupid from ottomendi on numerous occasions......He won't last under Pep of he keeps doing what he has in the last few games....

confirmed...planned replacement

i wonder if those jumping the gun have the bollocks to say they were wrong and were very judgemental towards probably one of the most valuable, dedicated and important players in our history.

He was and can be again. But definitely not now and not tonight. The Occasional misplaced pass?? Honestly. I'm not blaming Kompany at this moment of time, but you can't defend that.

We looked miles better with Kompany at the back as you'd expect. He over hit about 4 long passes and 3 of those times there was nobody showing for the ball. If anybody seriously believes Kompany isn't still be far the best defender we have when fit then it's time to start watching a different sport. 6 months out and getting snagged for over hitting a few long passes. Brilliant

Ottamendi is the one we need to bin he's so rash. As for vinny more get time and he will be back to his best

 

[lazerblue]

Great defender but not sure that's enough for pep as his passing is shocking, I fear for vinny

His passing is far from shocking and if you've watched him for years whilst fully fit you'd know that.Is Stones a great passer out of interest?

Fully fit he's the best CB in the world. I think that will be enough for pep.
