Living off the 11/12 season. Garbage defender
Great for one season. Basically the new Vidic.
He's on par with Vermaelen really, makes as many stupid decisions as him.
Was proper getting mugged off against Liverpool the other week, committing to tackles too much and Suarez made him look like a fool.
Why all the hate???
Kompany is a really good defender. How can you call him rubbish when he is clearly one of the top 3 CBs in the EPL.
Best defender in the league, without a shadow of a doubt.
Chris been swept away by the hype machine that is the media
I dont think hes up there with the best in the world as some like to think but he certainly isn't poor
So how long before you g.o.o.n.s say Kos / Mert is better then him?
Mertesacker has been better this season as have JT and Lovren
Somehow I don't think you'd be saying the same if he played for us.
Top defender and a gentleman to boot
Disappointed in you Döge

Bit harsh Rev, Vidic may be on the Decline but has still been consistent over the years
Makes a lot of mistakes. But the talent is clearly there. Don't think City's system helps him.
Benatia, Mertesacker, JT and Lovren have been playing better.
He is pretty overrated at the moment. You can deny he was a beast when they won the league though. He's on par with the best defenders in league, mertesacker and kos,

He's a top player, no-one can deny that.
Kompany has had to deal with niggling injuries all season, when he comes back into the city team they are a much better side, clearly he's a top CB, if the vast majority think it it's generally true, just cause you don't does not mean the media have brainwashed us it means we look at the player and make our minds up.
Another small club mentality article by an Arsenal fan these are becoming the standard for some Aresenal fans on this site these days
As Kneerash points out, Kompany has had niggling injuries one after the other this season and has probably only managed one third of the games so far.
A domineering defender who can also play a bit, nothing overated in my non-biased opinion.
If he played for any other team i would be praising him to the hilt.
A pointless article that cannot even be backed up by the op.
They're not saying he's not a top player, just that he gets praise where others do not.
What I've found strange is that with Arsenal Koscielny is the one who gets hyped up, but Mertesacker actually seems much better- he has been absolutely phenomenal for them and definitely among the best central defenders in the World on current form.
I wouldn't get worked up about overrated/underrated: people can claim Messi or Ronaldo is underrated/overrated depending on which way around people rank the players.
