Anyone seen anything?

30 seconds of his interview just flashed up on Sky Sports.

He says there is belief within the group that we can survive.

Kompany saying we have to be strong, players, staff etc not accepted relegation...

Not accepted relegation? I think hes totally deluded now

Kompany.

To be fair he has to say this really, he's not going to come out and say yes we're awful and down already

I'd rather he just come out and say we are planning for next season. I'm all for giving people the opportunity to rectify mistakes but his bullshit is wearing thin

Belief we can survive and I’ll continue to pick the same inept players next week blah blah blah.

He said on radio Lancs he’s told the players they don’t need many people to believe in them.

I wouldn't - if he said that we're already down and now planning for next season, he would rightly get castigated.

3 wins from 26 …….58 conceded……..

Not sure what he can say really …………

very true, there are people that will do that regardless

VK - "The probabilities are against us"

He's pretty much said before the 1st game were already down with the way his spoke no wonder the players have had no belief.
He needs to get a grip and stop being sto stubborn, never mind accepting relegation, accept the money train isn't coming this summer because they've bought garbage and put the team and club first

Same old guff. He’s a clever bloke and last season was brilliant but he’s making a hash of it now. He needs to be asked about Muric, Zaroury, Benson etc. That’s an interview I’d be interested in.

If you are expecting him to say “yeah, we’re down aren’t we” in a post match interview I fear the delusion is not all Vincent’s.

I really don't think he gives a ****

Am I hearing that right? Did he try blaming the officials for that cowardly display?

Seems like he doesn't think some of them need him to believe in him with how he's cast off a few.

I'm getting worried by him I can't deny it. Two weeks ago I was VK in. Half time vs Arsenal I was VK in. The sheer lack of anything approaching even a desire to succeed from him or the players, and the amount of flat out untruths he's saying ("the fire in bellies is there, everyone's had a chance to prove themselves, the basics are there") has me seriously concerned about the longer term trajectory with him. That lack of alignment with reality, or lack of vision, isn't good.

I've never called for a manager's head. Even Laws. But I've never seen a continuous capitulation like this from us either.

He said something about there’s 250 million footballers in the world and the current squad have made it as premier league players ok their own, so they don’t need people to believe in them.

Feels a bit Steve Cotterill that to me.

They're in the Premier League but they're not Premier League players. Utter w@ank all over the park. There's only Foster and Koleosho who legitimately look the part. Odobert has a good career in front of him, and I like Beyer a lot, but as for the rest I don't see PL teams coming in for them.

I dont think Foster looks the part to be honest.

I can't imagine a host of Premier League clubs looking to sign him in the summer

decent enough interview. he acknowledges there's work to do, and he mentioned some poor officiating.
He also said he wants to fight to improve things on the pitch.

Can a disaster get worse? If it can it's occuring right in front of us. No fight or desire in that performance right from the moment we early conceded an own goal in the first minute. Totally unacceptable performance; the sort I've seen before resulting in the manager's dismissal. How has it come to all this in just a few months?

Inept management and coaching, promising certain players they will start every week. Not sure what Kompany is doing for someone who comes across as a pretty intelligent man.

We’ve not had a shot on target for 2 games and supposed to be fighting for our lives.

Whatever he’s saying to the players during the week isn’t working. They don’t have any belief and have lost respect with his team selection

It’s a very Partridge-esque thing to say.

Nearly any other board in the league would pot their manager after the last two performances. Team selection ridiculous , stubborn , refusing to accept that they were totally poor performances . Benson Muric Cork???? Questions on tactics . All in all very sad and incomprehensible after last year.

He looked like he couldn't wait to get away.

He looked beaten up and miserable and sounded even worse

Looked like that for some time I reckon

On MOTD there was hardly any discussion on Burnley’s performance. At one point Micah Richards says “I’ve watched Burnley several times this season and since coming up they’ve simply failed to adapt.” Lineker interjects and says “that’s true” and continues to talk about Glasner and Crystal Palace.

Confidence is shot, the biggest reason to change the starting 11

In the old days the Longside would chant we are sick of watching sh1t. More civilised these days, we moan on here.

I’m kind of glad pundits have actually stopped talking about how bad we are now really, just quietly get the next 12 games over with

That's an awful lot of games to 'just get over'.
