Have you all missed his justification for picking Komany?
It appears as if his entire reasoning was because, er, he didn't get sent off and Garth agreed with it.... lolz. What is the game coming to when a manager, or a team for that matter, begin to rely on a sending-off to ensure a victory? That seemed to be the situation, as far as Leicester and their manager Claude Puel were concerned, when Vincent Kompany clearly brought down Jamie Vardy during the game's opening exchanges. The tackle itself was not the issue, but whether the City captain was the last man or not. Some are in no doubt that Kompany should have been dismissed, but I take a different view. John Stones, the nearest City defender to Vardy, was close enough and quick enough to make a difference and referee Graham Scott thought so too. Would the game have been affected by Kompany's departure? Of course it would, but the whole point of a sending-off is that it is used to administer justice. It is also the opinion of the referee that counts - not the managers' or players' - and certainly not the opinion of the pundits. There are moments, I must admit, when a referee is the only person in the ground who knows why a player has been sent off and that is equally nauseating. We should all be in no doubt why justice has been served. Nevertheless, Kompany survived the incident and the match. Kompany is a wonderful professional. However, the Belgium international will know he must prove he can play a full and uninterrupted season in the hurly burly of the Premier League before manager Pep Guardiola can trust him to lead this marvellous City side into the future. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42047394 |
