Vincent Kompany - 2017/18 performances

[Gabriel]

Well that will be handy if he get sa ban with the rags and spurs coming up

Four games started and three bookings. The open manner in which way we play almost makes it inevitable that someone is going to have to take one for the team during a game.

Then he needs to pick up 2 in the next 2games to get the ban out of the way before the rags and spurs games

I'd love to know how many times he's been booked this season and that spell he was fit back end of last season. I'd guess at virtually every game.

Booked this season against Leicester, Bournemouth, and Everton but a clean slate at Brighton. Last season, in the 8 league games he started from April onwards, he picked up 3 consecutive bookings against Leicester, Crystal Palace, and Middlesborough. That actually makes it 6 bookings in his last 9 starts. Makes Otamendi look a Saint. :-)

 

[Easy]

With Stones out. We should really manage Kompany's fitness. One game per week is enough:

Feyenoord (CL)-Tuesday-Rest
Huddersfield-Sunday-Start
Southampton-Wednesday-Rest
West Ham-Sunday-Start
Shakhtar (CL)-Rest-(shouldn't even travel)
Rags-Sunday-Start

 

[ws01]

Yeah no midweek games for him atm

He should not be playing unless it's really needed

“Of course, we have to take care of him [Kompany], we are trying to do that. He miss more than two months and a half because he play against Gibraltar with 0-9 in the score," said Guardiola.

read between the line.
i don't think Pep is please with Kompany, ignoring his advice to withdraw from the Belgium team.
Kompany did the same thing with Pellegrini, and later injured for months. i'm sure Pep aware of that.

 

[kaz7]

He did the same under bobby as well,he seems to have made the club v country decision himself,with the world cup coming up he will keep doing it

 

[Tom_mcfc]

He gets booked for making daft, rash challenges and usually quite late. if he ended up with a ban he would only himself to blame.

If he somehow gets to the derby without being banned for it it would be a miracle,take 2 in the next two games and get it over with

It would be, and not through any bias or agenda but the sheer fact he is committing silly fouls. will be frustrating if he was out of key games.

After calming down from the excitement of the winner, I have to say...he was really poor tonight. Everytime he had to go a little bit wide, he either fouled the player or got done 1v1. He jumped out of the line at bizarre times, and then dropped deep when everyone else played the offside trap. Even Otamendi seemed back to his erratic self from last season after a while playing next to him.

Gave away the ball with some really simple balls into midfield too, one of which lead to a dangerous counterattack.


And if you'd told me 6 weeks ago that Kompany replacing Stones would see our defending at set pieces go to shit, I'd not believed you, but that's exactly what's happened.


He's been out for a while, I didn't expect him to be back to 2012 Kompany from game 1, but today he did a worrying impression of someone who's past it. We need Stones back ASAP, and we need Vinny to sharpen up in the meantime.

 

[kaz7]

yeh not his best game,getting booked every game as well

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Looked all out of sorts. I guess its to be expected after being in and out for so long but we gotta figure something out before Jan.

 

[BigOscar]

Honestly don't think he's anything like the player he was before the injuries, every game he seems to really struggle to turn around and has to end up just knocking people over when anyone else would just run back with them, while his passing isn't anywhere near as crisp as we need it to be. Good that he's staying fit though so hopefully it's just rust, but he was really poor today and has been a bit of a liability ever since Stones got injured

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Vinnie not at his best tonight , he's been out for a couple months so very surprised Pep risked him tonight , he definitely requires a rest against the Hammers need him back to his best for the Rags.

 

[SapperBlue]

Got to rest him v West Ham otherwise another yellow and he's out against the rags.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He was terrible. One of his worst performances for us. I hope it's not coming to the end for him. We really need to sign a CB in Jan.

Hope its not Van Dijk because he was shite.

 

[Nasri's Hair]

He looked like he just couldn't move out there. It's quite sad, but not sure if he will get his mobility back
