I'm no idiot because there is only one idiot who would put an injured player on the bench.

But you are missing the point our defenders in particular Stones take chances when they are playing out from the back.

The big difference year has been the man in between the sticks and Stones developing as a player.

In relation to Mangala what most non haters could see was that he was overloaded and exposed on a number of occasions due to the inexperienced left back. Also the fact that Pep didn't take him off said a lot about his performance during the game.

Firstly, no one is advocating putting a literally injured Kompany on the bench FFS.

Secondly, "our defenders in particular Stones take chances when they are playing out from the back".

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Do not try to draw comparisons between Stones possibly making a mistake while playing progressive football that's integral to our build up play, and Mangala not being able to read the flight of a football, or constantly get caught out of position. Mangala doesn't take risks with possession, that's one of the main reasons he is beyond all hope. If he did, then we could hope for a Stones'-like uncertain phase being followed up by some great play. Mangala though, doesn't take risks on the ball, he plays very poor, sideways or backwards passes and doesn't start attacks at all.

Secondly, Mangala was not "overloaded" at any point in the game. Wolves had 1 player left up for Mangala to deal with, there was no overloading, no having to defend 2 or 3 players because Zinchenko was out of position, there was just 1 teenage, back up in the Championship player who mugged Mangala time and time again.

The fact Mangala stayed on means nothing either, except Wolves weren't trying to attack, just go to penalties.
 
People talk about it being the club who pays the wages.
As a matter of interest I thought that if a player is injured on international duty then the country/FIFA pay the wages till they are fit again, is that not the case?
 
Think the ship has sailed with Vinny, would love it if he became a City ambassador like Summerbee or takes his Uefa badges and start coaching the young kids. Think he has his heart in joining the media which wouldn't be a bad thing. Would hate to see him leave like Zabba has although I understand his reasons
 
Unable to read the tweets that hve been posted, what's been said? another set back?

Vincent Kompany got good news from dr. Cugat. He will step up his recovery. He had a minor calf injury, that kept him out for 8 weeks. #mcfc

thank you karen.... i read that as 8 weeks from the start of the injury... give up predicting when or if he'll come back anymore tho, stresses and saddens me far more than it really should!!
 
If Kompany is fit, does he walk straight back in? It's hard to mount a case for him at the moment. Perhaps for the Carobao cup.
With the schedule we have, we will need to rotate CH's/DMs out for 1 game in 5/6/7 depending on their injury record.
AMs/Fullbacks/Wingers should be rotated out game in 4/5/6 depending on their injury record.

We need Kompany back fit in mid Nov and Sanchez in Jan. Tuesday told me that Mangala is awful and Tosin is borderline (but I'm still hopeful).
