Stats 7,142 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 He makes mistakes because he is a proactive cb. Proactive CBs makes mistakes....You can take cahill everyday, I will take david luiz, thiago silva, otamendi, etc. otamendi saved many counters yesterday and was great. Kompany this season was not. he scored like 3 headers, therefore people are confusing his general defensive rating with that. Are you serious? Have you actually watched any City games in the league this season? I have. WBA, was immense. When we played them, Costa could not get a sniff once again against him. Everton he had a good battle with Lukaku and bar one run he was excellent. Watford was not tested really and Palace not sure, did not see but skysports gave him 7 rating which is quite good. Kompany is quite a proactive CB as well tbh. Not as much as Luiz but no different to Otamendi. Otamendi was not good at all imo. Was not as bad as Demi but none of them gave the physical prescence Kompany gives them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany was a proactive CB, nowadays, he is not.... Kompany has been immense for City this season though. No disputing that. Them not conceding a goal in any of their league games when he played is not just a random coincidence. Koompany for them this season is what Terry was for us last season. If he remains consistent throughout the season is another question. He has been faultless this season. His extra work in the gym pre-season has paid off. Looks a total beast and seems to have recovered the pace. Silva has been a loss but as I was saying they have been fine in attack. WHU they were unlucky. Defence let them down and Spurs, first half they were very good and had several opportunities. Kompany not in the team, they look suddenly leaky.

Silva couldn't control the tempo/possession and City were easy to take on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'd be pretty happy if he keeps scoring and City keep losing every time he scores, tbh.... DYC. and iseah100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SykikJV 146 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 He's still a very good player, excellent on counterattacks, he's no silva in terms of controlling the match tempo but his ability is still good.His defensive workrate is poor though.You can say this a thousand times more, doesn't make it anymore true. In any of his City games, KDB was one the players with the highest workrate and distance run. In the West Ham-game he ran the most miles of every players, including the opposition players. City-fans are impressed with his workrate, especially when playing as a number 10.You can't fault KDB for workrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as a belgian you probably seen him more than I. He is a complete liability defensively and has no tactical sense. Also, the whole distance run/miles run stat is complete decieving stat and not relevant to workrate... Guys like Cesc is usually high up there on that stat as well and we know what BS that is.

Guys like Cesc is usually high up there on that stat as well and we know what BS that is.You're talking about defensive ability, Kellzfresh was talking about workrate. Imo the distance a player covered in a game is a pretty good criteria for a player's workrate.Still, KDB isn't the same player as he was 2 years ago. When he was at Chelsea he was young and still adapting to the PL. At the moment I wouldn't say he's more of a defensive liability then other attacking midfielders in the PL. His tactical awareness is pretty good, offensive and defensive.His biggest defensive flaw is that sometimes he takes risks in positions he shoudn't, as demonstrated against Tottenham. But other then that, his workrate is top noch and he's won quite a few balls at City. He'll never be a defensive genius, but that's not necessary in his position.I've just got the feeling that some people here keep the "workrate and defensive liability"-story alive, only to justify Mourinho's decision of letting him go. Watch some more games of KDB at City and the Belgian NT and you'll see that most of the time he's one the hardest working players on the pitch.

Oscar 441 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Didn't watch the last +10 mins of the match, however, I still am inclined to believe that KDB cannot work effectively with David Silva.This idea that silva-sterling-kdb-yaya was going to break every team is proving more and more to be wrong and someone will need to be dropped to give balance to the squad... Losing to a team like gladbach who has been terrible this season really would of been bad for City's confidence...Xhaha is a good player we should look at next summer as a cm.
