What I don't get is why does he start breaking down at the start of games? Why is it not in training or in the pre match warm up?
I think it's a mental issue perhaps.

Vinny doesn’t do all the training that the other players do. Some days he has specialist sessions with the physios when the other lads are training. Vinny knows his body best and will come off the pitch now when he thinks he is close to a serious injury. That is a lesson Vinny has learnt the hard way.
 
I'm starting to think that some of these "injuries" (Newcastle a possible example) are in fact part of the management of what ever is the cause of them. Maybe Vinnie is under instructions to come off/not play if any discomfort at all is felt.

It looked that way the other night, even after it was obvious he was going off, he played a part until we had the sub warmed up, and even then jogged off the pitch looking OK, he was clearly feeling something, and the right thing to do now is not risk making it worse.

Its frustrating for us, but it must be hugely more frustrating for him.

It all seems so random. It's not as if he had been overplayed. Some games he can manage the whole ninety and we all think that he's through the worst and then the next game he manages a few minutes. He seems to be having substantial gaps between the minutes he plays and when he's in the starting eleven I, for one, am counting the minutes expecting the scenario we had on Wednesday.

You might be right Jordie but we have conceded very few goals with Vinny on the pitch.

Also conceded very few goals with Mangala on the pitch. I think mostly that is because of the players in front of them. Giving the ball away against Newcastle and Bournemouth you can usually get away with it but it will be different against the better teams in the world.

Yes, Mangala has been playing well. He helped us see out the Derby win and dominate Spurs.

I get the money that they are all on. Vincent is a very dedicated man who has been so unlucky with injuries. This is his career and looks like it's comimg to an end unfortunately and he so obviously loves the club and the fans..thats why I feel sorry for him.

Because you have had to explain something like this to the OP Stevie , I think it will fall on deaf ears .

Compassion clearly isn't something within his make-up, whilst money would appear to be the panacea in his world . Fucking unbelievable !

I try my best Colin..have a good new year mate.
 
He's injury prone, that's not really revelatory. What surprises me is the way Pep has talked about it in the press conferences, it's a first that I can recall where he regularly comments/describes a player as chronically injured.

Is it a message to the management group? Would seem strange since he has a direct line to them and has had it for many years, no rationale to play it up in the media.

Is it a message to the player? Has to be fairly clear to the player himself that he cannot truly be counted on. Otherwise, Pep is letting the player know he needs to start looking for a new club once he finds a reinforcement and before his contract runs out. Still, you'd think that Txiki could make it clear to the player anyway.

Else, is it a message to the press? To justify a big expenditure for a central defender?

Just a bit out of character for Guardiola

He never says more than he has to and, up until now, never called out his players in a way that made them look bad. He could just as easily acknowledge he picked up a knock but there's absolutely something about the way Pep discusses Kompany. He's definitely frustrated as anyone would be, as fans probably have been for years but it is definitely dead man walking talk and why I think the club is probably trying to push the player to accept he cannot be counted on & move on

vinny has 18 months left on his contract,we will not push him out,if he is fit and pep doesn't pick him then thats one thing,i'm sure pep is as frustrated as vinny and the rest of us are as he is a great player and still our captain,the media ask him about him before every game,i'm sure he wouldn't be volunteering his opinion otherwise,you need to wise up on the british press,they love a player v manager story when it comes to us,their questions are soley designed to find an angle for a bad story
