Vincent Kompany - 2016/17 performances

[Bewar3them00n]

Clichy spoke to him, says it's just tiredness, and that he's OK
Probably at the back of his mind that any twinge is another breakdown.
Thought he played well within himself tonight, as if he'd reigned in the sudden lunges and aggressiveness for a more silky performance

Hope he's OK, he looked back to normal tonight.
But a centre half walking off with a minute or 2 still to play is anything but normal.

 

[Neville Kneville]

What by playing him in his first game back for the full game. Ok then!

Matches are completely different to training

Maybe but he's been training for fucking ages & he's a centre back. It's not as if he's been sprinting up & down the pitch. In fact he probably only sprinted ahout 4 times in the match.

No way did he look anything other than fit. He's two yards quicker than Stones for a start.

They've had several behind closed doors friendlies as well. Gundogan mentioned them when he played 80 minutes on his return.

Amazing how so many people know better than doctors on here whenever anyone gets injured. It's obvious for everyone to see the lengths the club has gone to in attempting to get Vinny fit and stay fit. You think they'd go to the lengths of monitoring his blood after training for signs of inflammation but then get caught out by playing him for too long?

Vinny bleeds blue & its disgusting the lack of respect he's being shown by some on here tonight

 

[jaiguruKun]

Nothing wrong with him, will be on the bench on Saturday.

 

[City Raider]

This is really odd. He obviously thought something was wrong, he wouldn't just walk off. So it's either buggered again or he might be feeling a little shamefaced if only cramp.

 

[bert38]

He will be injured. Hope I'm wrong.

Your missing the point, with his history he needs managing carefully. Get an hour in his legs on a match day, then build from there. He might be a centre back, but a match day will see the tension, pressure and fatigue sky rocket compared to training. Look at Gundogan, over an hour in his first game back, and over 70 minutes in his second game. Exactly as it should be for someone coming back from a long lay off. It's indisputable we got it wrong tonight, he walked off the pitch with play going on behind him FFS. Totally needless for that to happen.

I really dislike this place at times.

Why do you think I only post now & again these days?!!

Vincent Kompany deserves more respect than he's getting from some posters on here at the moment. He is still, from the reports I was reading, didn't see the match here in Canada, playing very well, with his usual passing accuracy & gravitas. IMHO
