I feel for Vincent Kompany, who is missing again. His head must be everywhere. Hopefully it is just fatigue, not a long-term issue. When he's playing he's the difference between City winning the league and not. You can't win the league without a strong defence.
Guardiola mentioned Eliaquim Mangala playing and that is worrying because what is their relationship even like? He has been farmed out on loan. Has there been a lack of communication? They are very thin at the back.
