Kompany vows to beat injury problems
Manager Manuel Pellegrini has played down the suggestion that his defence can not function without the Belgium global, but his influence is undeniable. You demonstrate what kind of manager you are, and after that you can have another club that maybe they win the title and are sacked. The Arsenal loss was their fifth defeat in nine matches without Kompany.

Pellegrini said of his skipper on the club’s official website.
“I don’t think the score reflected the difference between the two teams”, Pellegrini is quoted as saying by the BBC.
Arsenal’s 4-0 humbling at the hands of Southampton allowed Leicester to stay top and fixed the damage done in City’s defeat at the Emirates Stadium a week earlier, and another slip-up against AFC Bournemouth would open the door for the 2013-14 champions to lead the league into the New Year. As much as you change the side around, which is what I have been doing since I’ve been here, and think you are going in the right direction, clearly we are slipping back into the danger zone and it is hard work to think now what my best team is.
“They beat Chelsea and drew against United – we must consider they will not collapse because they lost”. What I know is that for me, it is very good to win the title.
“We’ve played the whole season with an average of six players injured in every game”, said Pellegrini, referring to the long injury list he has had to deal with this season.
‘There are worst things in life of course and I never forget that.
First-half strikes from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud put the hosts in control before a classy late goal from Yaya Toure gave City late hope. We had dominated the game (until then).
“We must play against Leicester on the 29th so it’s very important to win these two games to finish the first round [of fixtures this season]”. In contrast, the eight games that Kompany played, they managed to keep seven clean sheets, conceding only one goal in the process.
“It’s not easy for us but we want to fight with everybody”.
A week before Dick Advocaat made the decision to leave the Stadium of Light, Manuel Pellegrini’s side romped to a League Cup victory over the Black Cats and it was the same story at the Etihad Stadium, as a Kevin De Bruyne-inspired City swatted Sam Allardyce’s men aside.
Pablo Zabaleta and Fernando will not be rushed back into action, while Samir Nasri remains out until March after he needed surgery to fix a damaged tendon in his leg.

“We’ll see the starting line-up on Saturday”. “We are faced with the types of pressures that come with being talked about as relegation candidates week in and week out, about people being dissatisfied with our performances, which if you lose football matches, is going to happen”.
