I mentioned on the match thread but Jay Rod rates Kompany and backs him to bounce back. I find that encouraging fr...

I think you have put your finger on an issue which Burnley fans have overlooked, namely Kompany's man-management. He comes across very well on the media but I have increasing doubts about how he is managing his players. His failure to give Muric or Benson a chance if s beginning to look spiteful. Ea...
