What happens when Kompany is fit???

At the start of the season, we were playing a 3-5-2 formation with wing backs and Serge and Jesus up front. 

Since Kompany's stupidity, we've been playing with something that resembles a flat back 4. And we've been doing it rather well.

But will we mess around when Kompany is fully fit again? Pep hasn't bothered to have a back 3 using any of our squad since, so I can't see any reason to change a winning system.

Its a good problem to have. I think it will allow more rotation between CL, PL & cup games without compromising quality.

He'll be a good back up to give players a rest a vital times, but again, he's going to need to time to build up the understanding that Otamendi and Stones have got...so I can only see him playing a bit-part unless there are injuries.

He'll probably have to wait his turn but would be very welcome around December with games coming thick & fast in all competitions.

It's irrelevant, he'll bugger off to play for Belgium this week and crock himself getting off the team bus.

Pep said he's not going to Belgium.

I was going to say pretty much what Leo did...  :p
get fit,
injured for Belgium,
rinse, repeat...

But both their games are at home, so maybe Pep has it wrong.

Not really sure what you mean. As mentioned and in the below video I posted the other day...Pep said "he's been out for 2 months, so he'll be staying here and maybe after the International break"

See video from 05:25: 

Yeah, sorry... what I meant was, I'll bet Vinny goes anyway.

We'll find out soon enough. Otamedi is suspended for the next league game (how on earth he has 5 yellows). 

Either Mangala or Kompany will partner Stones (assuming he comes back from international duty fit).

If Stones gets injured we will have Mangala & Tosin as CBs
