Vincent Kompany

Could be out for a month, leaving Man City with just 1 recognised centre half.

Not much of an advantage but maybe it will help our cause on Sunday.

as you say, not that much of a difference really, i imagine they might play micah richards there?

But every little helps i suppose, and he is a big player for them.

its a huge loss to them mate. obviously they have a replacement, but kompany is their best defender by far, hes the leader and one of the most influential players they have, cool and calm and reads the game superb.

I suspect this will have no bearing on the result whatsoever

Correct!

Straws, clutching, worried, 5-nil and its good to get the beating early in the season - all spring to mind.

But for some reason I don't feel so worried about getting a hiding when I knwo it could be from a class team.

Isn't Richards injured as well and isn't he a right back? not a center half!

May give of us more chance of grabbing a goal but won't have a difference on some of the worlds best attackers against a championship defence

Lescot looked rather twitchy on the ball the other day, Pressure and who knows. We can do it.

They'll probably play Javi Garcia at CB with Lescott, could be a bit dodgy. We could do this!

He's their leader, will be intetesting to see how they cope without him.

Still think they'll beat us, but you never know - look at The FA Cup Final last season.

Fine... I'll be the only positive City fan in the world.

If we play to our best ability then I don't see why we can't win... We are the under dogs and have beaten top teams over the years so there is no reason why we can't give it a go.

Kompany missing at the back is huge. It's like Liverpool without Gerrard or Man Utd without Van Persie.
We have them in the air with Cornelius.


Atleast I'm optimistic...

wigan are absolutely garbage and it only took one lucky header to beat them and that was on a huge pitch you thought that they be better suited to, you never know!

Indeed.

So many negative twats on here. Football throws up strange results every season

Peterborough did the double over the Football League Champions last season

Can't believe some are actually saying we can do it because Wigan did. Martinez out-smarted Mancini tactically and they had Mcmanaman tearing Clichy a new arsehole, we have no-one who could do that. Plus Mancini's man-management was poor so they weren't up to is as Wigan were. I think we may snatch a draw but two very different circumstances between us and Wigan.

So you are tell us that Rudy Gestede isn't good enough to defeat Man City? ... Deluded.

Richards can play CB and has played his last few games there being moved from RB.

If he his fit he will easily cover up and Richards is a monster.

Fantastic defender.

Nah. Must be mad thinking we could do it.
