Should Manchester City sign a defender this January? Kompany says No!

Image
Vincent Kompnay has dismissed the assertion that Manchester City must now sign a defender having lost more grounds on the Liverpool. 

City are nine points below Liverpool in 4th place and will a resurgent Chelsea when the Premier League returns. 

Another defeat or draw could end City's hope of winning a third consecutive Premier League tile but Kompany don't want people to judge to quickly. He recalled that City always struggle to beat Liverpool at Anfield with or without him in the starting lineup therefore, people should just relax. 

Even Liverpool have struggled to win the league in 30 years so what is the fuss?

"We always struggle at Anfield. I said that on Super Sunday, you're fighting 25 years of not winning at Anfield and that's difficult, it's two games in one game- you're playing great team and you're fighting history", Kompany told Sky Sports. 

"Flip it around and the same will happen for Liverpool- they will fight the history of not winning the league for 30 years. That should be to City's advantage i still think. As to the defence, the best way for City to defend in the past has been to attack. They have no reason to change that. 

"As soon as they start reconnecting with the best performances, i'm convinced that we can see a sustainable amount of wins". 

Kompany might be right in his assessment of City's strength in attack but as the saying goes: 'Attack win you games but defensive wins you trophies'. 

City do not have a reliable defense, they will win games no doubt about it but, when it comes to winning trophies, they will surely struggle. 

So should City sign a defender or rely on their attack?

Redknapp: Pep Guardiola is not 'playing mind games, he is afraid of SADIO MANE'

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola was playing mind games or attempting to have dig at Sadio Mane.  Guardiola is afraid of Sadio Mane knowing he is Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese international is the star man at Anfield, he has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in just 15 games this season..  He has contributed to 7 wins this season by either scoring the winning goal or having a hand in scoring the winner. Redknapp feels Pep Guardiola is very worried about Mane and the danger he will pose when City visit Anfield in the weekend.  "Hearing Pep Guardiola mention Sadio Mane and diving was surprising", Redknapp told Daily Mail. "It is unusual to hear a manager say that about a rival player, but i don't think it was Guardiola trying to wind up Mane ahead of this Sunday's showdown at Anfield. It wasn't an attempt at mind games, or a deliberate dig. I believe Guardiola genuinely f...

A draw won't be that bad for either side and league, cause the likes of Liecester City and Chelsea will further reduce the point gap at the top to 8 and 9 point respectively. But to avoid a defeat, Jurgen Klopp will have to decide if starting Jordan Henderson will better than the inform Oxlade Chamberlian.  Jordan H enderson  Henderson might not the most creative player in Liverpool team nor the fastest, strongest or the most intelligent player but, he offers Jurgen Klopp something no other midfielder offers.  He will run into ...

Retire no! Juventus star Crisitano Ronaldo reveals the two things he need before ITS OVER!

Cristiano Ronaldo  has dismissed the speculations from sports papers and blogs that he will retire this season or the next. The Portuguese captain wants to play on, he feels he is the best player in the world and winning trophies is his entitlement. Since 2013, Crisitano Ronaldo have never missed a season without lifting club trophies. He has won the biggest trophies where he has gone and at Juventus he is breaking and setting his own record. But before he calls it a quit, Ronaldo wants to do what no other striker or winger has managed to do in 23 years for Juventus. He wants to win them the Champions League, a trophy that have eluded the Bianconeri since 1996.

From £90m to just £15m: Thomas Muller finally heading to Liverpool

According to Bild, Thomas Muller will join a Premier League team this summer after growing disillusioned with life on the bench. The 30-year-old is currently relegated to the bench and only used sparingly to give rest to the likes of Philippe Coutinho or Sergi Gnaby. Such demotion from Niko Kovac has hurt him deeply and now he wants to move to bigger and better club.  Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of his German World Cup and once tried to convince him to join him at Liverpool back in 2017..  Klopp was ready to pay £90m to bring him to Anfield but, Muller felt Bayern Munich still loved him and were capable of winning both domestic and European trophies.  He was absolutely right with that assertion back in 2017 but today, Muller is back up player who can't even get into a team that contains the likes Sergi Gnabry, Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman and others.  Fed up with having to watch others player while he sits on the bench, Muller has reportedly spoke...

Can Sergio Aguero finally score at Anfield? Van Dijk reacts

Sergio Aguero might be Manchester City's all time record goalscorer and the Premier League best striker but, the diminutive Argentina has a record he is yet to break.  Aguero has never scored at Anfield and against a Liverpool team gunning down the Premier League title, if he fails to score or lead City to a victory, the Premier League title will certainly head to Anfield.  Leicester City and Chelsea might be huffing and puffing at the moment but against Liverpool, they're no match in the long run.   Liverpool's Van Dijk was asked if Aguero can break his deadlock at Anfield and he had this to say:  "I think Aguero is one of the best strikes in the league", Van Dijk told reports.  "And he's been doing it for many years. It's a tough challenge and we will all have to be at our best to keep him quiet.  "He won't be worrying about not scoring at Anfield. He has enough experience not to think about those statistics".  Asked if ...

Joel Matip: The Liverpool unsung hero setting the world on fire

What a player Joel Matip has turn out to be be. The former Schalke 04 defender has grown in stature and class and without doubt, one of the best defender in the world.  His partnership with Van Dijk have been sensational, both men have created the perfect platform for Liverpool to win 16 consecutive matches on the spin. Liverpool are yet to lose a game in their opening seven matches of the season and that success is completely down to Matip and his defensive partners who ensures they limit the number of goals going in while contributing upfront.  They're times this season when Van Dijk have really struggled to impose himself on the game but thanks to the presence of Matip whose tackles are timely; aerial prowess sensational and ball distribution phenomenal, Van Dijk have been left off the hook.  What makes Matip very special is that he is the only defender in the world who dribbles his way past players when surging forward.  Matip can dribble past 3 to ...

Did Alexander Arnold commit two penalties against Manchester City?

Liverpool might have beaten Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield but they were controversial moments that shocked the world of football including Pep Guardiola.  The Spanish tactician was visibly seen screaming his lungs out to the fourth official Mike Dean, alerting him that Trent Alexander Arnold has just committed not just once but two penalties.. Arnold first handled the ball in the build to Liverpool's first goal and later, repeated the same theatrics as City were desperately looking for a second goal to pin back Liverpool.  Guardiola has never been furious like this before and if not for his years experience he would've said something about Micheal Oliver, Trent Alexander Arnold, the VAR and even Anfield crowd that kept cheering despite seeing the fouls.  The game is over and the score line can't be revised so the question remains, did Arnold real commit a penalty against Manchester City? 

Finally, Gareth Bale ruins Real Madrid legendary status with stupid flag

Who in the world advised Gareth Bale to carry a banner inscribed: "Wales. Golf. Madrid", minutes after the nation qualified for the 2020 Euros.  Bale's decision was ill-advised and now he never be regarded in the same breath as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Marcelo or even Isco. He disrespected the club that gave him all he has and made him who is today.  The trophies {13 titles including 4 Champions League and 4 FIFA World Club Cup}, the money {over $120m in wages} and the wide world appeal that attracted endorsement deals to him.  No doubt, the 32-year-old have created unbelievable memories like that sensational winning goal against Barcelona in 2013 Copa Del Rey, the overhead kick and long range stunner against Liverpool to win Madrid their 13th Champions League trophy.  But in-spite of those memorable moments, Bale has spent 2 years out of his 6 years at Madrid in the treatment table. He is always injured and hardly fit to play games.  His sa...
