Vincent Kompany

[Swizzlestick]

EDIT - never mind

[taio]

Don't see why there's all the discussion really. We've go no full-backs and no central midfield! Playing someone in a number 10 role who's got no-one to link up with (apart from one striker surrounded by 3/4 defenders) and a keeper who's played League 1 at the highest and had no summer break at all. Half the team is non-existent, and it's shown! Seriously, and we think VK is the bees knees? That is awful decision making and anyone at the start of the season who'd have said this was gonna happen would've known the outcome with the opening games (and let's not look beyond the Forest game). Continue like this and after 7 games we'll have 0/1 points and then panic will really start to kick in. You do not go through the same process as the Championship! We're in the Premier League for god's sake! We'll be down beore he gets it right at this rate. The Prem is much stronger nowadays than even 2 years ago. Some people seem happy and are accepting of that. Personally, I'm not. We're here, let's not waste it; nothing is certain about the future if we go down.

P.S. Bulk the squad and throw enough **** will eventually bring an odd decent fee, but ******** to watching that every week. Those three games were embarassing after over 2 and a half months of preparation! And noone can gloss over that or tell me otherwise.

I think you might need to calm down

I think you might need to calm down

30 hours after the game and I'm still fuming!! HELP!!

[Darnhill Claret]

Samaritans will always listen.

It's reyt, that's what messageboards are for, right?

[bumba]

so we signed players for 1-10 million last season and teams really did struggle to compete with us. We have played 3 teams who's cheapest players cost north of 30 for the most part. I genuinely can't get my head around how you don't see the correlation between money and far better players. It wouldn't matter what tactics you play, these top players always find away - it's why the teams with all the money win all the time. Jesus

We are good enough to put up a challenge tho and not be walkovers.
A Sunday league team could beat us at the moment we're so easy to play against

[beeholeclaret]

I think we are all disappointed after 3 defeats but people can’t expect a young side with players only just arrived at the club to beat teams like City, Villa and Spurs with their multi million pound players and squads beyond our wildest dreams. It’s unrealistic to think we would.

Got to leave it to the guys in charge.

Why in any argument do people always assume that if someone isn't happy in a worst case scenario, they automatically expected the best case scenario and that's why they are unhappy.

I too will assume that 99.9% of those who are showing their disappointment over the performances of the first 3 league games did not expect us to win all 3 games. I would imagine the percentage would be low for even 1 game, let alone 2 or 3 to be fair.

[It Is What It Is]

Oohh...a few doubting Thomas's and Panic merchants on Vincent Kompany this thread. Last season he was the Second Coming and Messiah who could do no wrong.
Losing 3 games with virtually a completely new squad is perfectly expected acceptable against City, Villa and Spurs .. Al well established EPL Teams.
We got bad injuries at Forest which affected selection.
Kompany has more EPL experience than any other EPL manager. Keep the faith with Vinny, he knows what he's doing...good times ahead... and it starts at Forest.

They need to start learning quickly. 1-0 up and then a curled ball into space and we are suddenly 2v2 at the back. So naïve it is criminal.

[hoskinsgoalatswansea]

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth last season when were drawing games too.

We have an excellent hard working manager who’s committed to the cause, with a talented group of young players. It’s going to be an exciting and successful 3 or 4 years ahead of us.

I’m gonna sit back and enjoy it, because it won’t last forever.

Was he that good of a defender really?

I know he won things but so did Mark Monington.

Come on Stanley, wtf did Mark Monnington ever win apart from that fight with a Rochdale player in front of the Longside.

Yes, he was an excellent defender, which makes it all the more frustrating and puzzling that he can't put a decent defence out for a game!

[Bin Ont Turf]

Didn't he win the 4th Division with us?

(Straw clutching is in )

Not sure, but he definitely won that fight.

Right in front of me, and there was only one winner.
