Very valid questions, I agree with every word.
I believe that the heroic last ditch tackle he specialises in, and is feted for, is in fact a symptom of being out of position in the first place, much the way John Terry is idolised by Chlrsea fans for being committed by throwing his body on the line, it's not commitment, it's the result of an earlier mistake.
I personally think Kompany's demise goes back even further, to the end of the 2010/11 season, as Leacott was the best defender in our title winning season.
I think we are getting to a point where the 'sacred cows' in the squad need to be objectively assessed by Pellegrini in terms of how they fit in with our style of play moving forwards, and in that I include Hart, Kompany, Silva and Toure. Some big decisions ahead!
