On Match of the day yesterday Hansen highlighted just how badly Vinnie played. Wrong side of his man misjudged headers and notably bad careless distribution. This is not an isolated bad match. He's being playing poorly all season. I don't think we can write off Hansen as biased at least on this occasion. What's the right reaction to this?


Drop him for a few matches to show him that he's got to buck his ideas up.

Mancini should give him the hair dyer treatment but continue to play him.

Mancini should put his hand up and recognise that his fiddling about with a back three formation and changes in the back line is largely responsible for Kompany's dip in form and confidence.

Stop worrying about it. Form is temporary but class is permanent. Get back to our best settled back four which means Vinnie right and Lescott left and he'll be fine sooner rather than later.


I may try some more of these features seeing how Silva improved so much after my last thread!

Drop him. He has been complete shit and Hansen is a biased cunt in every instance related to city.

He may be right about kompany being shit all the sudden but he wouldn't highlight the same if it was terry or camel gob.

Kompany was just as poor this time last season.

Seem to recall reading somewhere that, apart from playing for over a decade for Liverpuddle, he grew up as a Scum fan, which makes him even more of a two faced, loathsome, cretinous retard to my eyes. Don't know if anyone else can confirm or refute this but his malevolent attitude towards City always shows that same Scum arrogance one sees in all their followers and boot-lickers.

However, for Vinnie's own good, as well as for the good of the team, I think we've got to bite the bullet and drop him. A few games out of the firing line might be enough to revitalise him (or give him a jolt which might act as a wake up call), although heaven knows what our results might be in the meantime.

On the whole, a few indifferent results might be worth it to get the "old Vinnie" back.

Don't worry about it, mate. He's having a poor run of form but will come through it soon enough.

Cometh the hour, cometh the captain.

Drop him for a game or two and make Zabs a temporary captain.

Never drop him! Coach him out of it. His presence brings more than just a player to our team, the oppo strikers will love to see our teamsheet without him. Droppinh him is insane

Agreed. I honestly feel he is suffering from last season. It took a lot out of our players and Vince took the brunt of all that was thrown our way. Lescott was there to take up the slack and ensured when Vince went missing, he got the word out to the lads, organising where necessary.

He'll be back soon enough, his very presence is a sign to the team of what we are about.

If anyone on here has ever paid attention to how Vincent goes about his job, you should know that he will be the first person to be fucked off with his game. City know the stats of his performances, Mancini does, Lescott does, its just a bad patch.

Strikers go 10 games without scoring.

Vinny has no contract issues, no publicly known personal issues and just lifted us the Premier League Trophy.

You don't go shit over 1 summer, (which he rested during) He just needs to keep playing and believe in himself like we all should.

Have a word with yourself if you think dropping him is the answer. Its the exact last thing we need to to right now with all these other changes going on.

Jeez what a bunch of bed wetters - he was exactly the same last season - think it's down to him getting fully match fit so he can rely on his pace and hence timing. He'll be fine soon - chill out!

I think he was poor for much of last season (relatively speaking), and noticed he appears to have put on a bit of timber. Though it may have just been me, but a few others sat around me spotted that at the arsenal game, maybe he has been on the richards weights regime and it has made him stronger but less mobile in the way it fucked micah up too.

Thank fuck, someone with some sense.
Don't get carried away Bob, I said some...not a lot....:-)

yeah he's shite and we need Savic back.





ffs....

Not sure about the weight, but thought he got too many plaudits last season. He always looked worse when Lescott wasn't there to cover for him. Not saying Lescott was better as when Vince wasn't there to cover for him, Joleeeen looked terrible.

Centre halves need to be a pair who act as a pair and cover for each other. I suspect the constant changes at the back either in formation or personal has a lot to do with the problems this season.

Anyway, we effectively had our first clean sheet on Saturday but were cheated out if it by Riise and the ref. That and some real clean sheets will start to breed confidence and improve the play.

I don't get the Lescott love in that a lot seem to be party to, that's not to say that I don't like him, I think he's a half decent player but still can't get it out of my head that I'm waiting for the permanent Lescott replacement

If anyone has any stats to back up how shit hot he actually is please pass them on

Had a lot of games that mean something, His Country have also games that matter.

Drop him?????

Hahahahaaha sometimes you guys really crack me up,the Captain plays unless he is injured as he is the best defender in the league he has got a young family plus he is going through a bit of a rough patch he will come through the other side.

Sometimes football fans make me despair.

'What's wrong with Vincent Kompany?'

'Been playing rubbish all season'...

*Checks calendar*...*sighs*

Is it really that hard to work out? We're about 6 games in. It's just turned October. Players go through bad patches of form, cos they're human. Look at Silva. Woeful a week ago, great on Saturday. Just relax and let him play through it, cos he will.

As i said, this all comes down to the system we used. Vinnie played in that 3-5-2 where he was shite, but so was every defender we had, except Clichy.

Vinnie was as shit as Zabs, Kolo, Lesco and so on.

I've watched him play with Belgium this three games (including the friendly they had in august) and he was FLAWLESS. The same Vinnie we know and love.

The problem is that he isn't used to what Bobby wants from our defence.
