Ah, but its our fixture against Citeh!!

Dont squabble

I read that without Kompany and Kolo Toure that Mancini hinted he will be forced to the transfer market to sign another central defender.

Not sure what planet he is on. Kompany is out four games, two of which are Carling Cup games. He has Lescott who is highly experienced, he has Savic a centre back who he signed in the Summer, as well as Richards and Zabaleta who can play perfectly well at centre back and have done so previously. It is not as though Citeh not done without Kompany this season, this being his second ban.

Seems to me the absence of Kompany will probably make very little difference.

i heard david silva struggling. plus we have a good record aganst man c.

in fact we had only lost one game aganst them away in about 8 games untill the gimp scored and own goal last season. god i hate him

Is that why Mancini has only played Kompany with various partners in central defence?

Is what "why Mancini has played only played Kompany with various partners" etc ?

As I pointed out Dave it is VK's second ban of the season - he cannot therefore have been ever present and Mancini has had to do without before - he has not played any CC games so the two games he is missing in that competition are irrelevant - he has hardly shone in Europe has he - why not check how many games MCFC have lost with VK not playing this season then come back and tell us.

I did and couldnt find it, however Sky did put something up the other night and they deffo lose more when his not playing.

Fair enough - VK is having a good season - the point I was getting at was Mancini saying he would have to get another centre back in which seemed bonkers
