Vincent Kompany

[stony]

It's frightening just how important he is to us. We are a completely different team with him playing. I'm going to pray every night that he stays injury free.

Vinnie is the man, plain and simple. I love the chemistry he and Nastasic have, and the confidence he gives Yaya to move up forward in the pitch. Truly our most integral player.

His reading of the game and his ability to anticipate, step up, intercept and win the ball higher up the pitch is so crucial to the way we want to play. Nobody else in the team is comfortable trying this. Without him and his abilities we look vulnerable. Best defender around anywhere, we are so lucky to have him. City loves you more than you will know.

 

[FjordoftheRings]

loved his interview about wanting it more than them - obviously a dig at shrek's comment about liverpool being a bigger game

THIS. Brilliant stuff from VK...

There's not a footballer in the world I would swap Vinny for.
The leadership and confidence he brings to the side couldn't possibly be replaced.

 

[Esoterik]

90 minutes of rock solid football. Having someone who cares so much leading the team inspires everyone else. He's an excellent player but also a talisman for the rest of the team. Totally indispensable.

Think it was in the last 10 mins him and valencia going for the ball and he just slid at it and hoofed it away.. cool as you like..

 

[HellasLEAF]

Vinnie just gives us that swagger.

 

[FantasyIreland]

He stays fit and we are probably title favourites.

Lose him again and we could drop as low as fourth.

Isnt it just
Pretty worrying really that he is that important
I'd like to think we could destroy teams without him too

I watched Gary Neville summarise his game late last night
Said the same as you,so so important
Also said if he wasn't playing and say Garcia was city would of got ripped to pieces
Don't know abt that.

Edit:
Well fuck, Youtube took it down. Was a good watch while it lasted...

 

[houdini151265]

the captain has become my favourite player , absolutely our most important out field player

 

[bluelassie]

Well that vid isn't helping me get to work..

Love him...fantastlc player, leader, captain, inspiration.

Him on his knees after Nasri's goal is my favourite bit..could just keep on playing that bit again and again and again...

Oon soccer Saturday jeff sterling mentioned that Vinny had said he was happy to face Rooney because he was in top form. The panel(esp Merton) laughed and mocked Vinny saying it was bullshit. Well crackhead I think you need to give Vinny an apology, he is IMO the best centrhalf ATM

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I've just posted in the GIF thread but I will here too:

What a fucking hero Kompany is. Best centre half in the world, a well-balanced, decent family man, a leader of men, a fair man on the field.

And he's our captain. A legend in the making to stand alongside Colin Bell and Bert Trautmann.

Go check out the Pellegrini thread from this time last week. Chock full of people saying that the club sacrificing Mancini to appease the players was the tail wagging the dog, and that man management skills were a virtual irrelevance in the pursuit of trophies. Kompers, Hart and Nasri all got a mention........

Thought so.
On another note what about his pass to Wellbeck. Fuck me if that had gone in and we'd lost he would've been lynched on here. Talk about fine lines.

The one foot he put wrong all game. Other than that he was on another level to any other top centre half in the world today

Actually, he made two mistakes in the game: lost the ball in the corner later in the game but, seriously, he was a colossus yesterday. He is the leader of the team.

I had goose bumps watching Vinny and yaya in that interview.well said tony
Dwight im the daddy yorke on soon ,let's see the shit he comes out with

 

[Gabriel]

The fact that Barcelona wanted to buy him is testimony of just how good he is. That he has committed himself to 'the project' shows how heartfelt his love of the club is and how astute he is at recognising where his best interests lie.
