Kompany: Liverpool and Man City are well oiled machines

Former Man City captain Vincent Kompany believes his former club and Liverpool will be in a class of their own for the conceivable future.

Kompany left the Premier League Champions after the last campaign to become a player/manager at Anderlecht.

And he believes that the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Man United are not equipped to take the challenge up to the duo who produced a title race for the ages last season, and show no signs of slowing down in the early stages of this campaign.

The Mirror reported Kompany as saying:

“ My opinion is that, at the moment, it’s very difficult for the other clubs to compete because Liverpool and City are well-oiled machines.

“Each player knows what to do. I think these guys are there to stay and the other ones will have to improve fast or otherwise that gap will remain.

“It seems that even if they don’t have a great day, it’s still a comfortable game and there aren’t many teams in recent history who’ve been able to have comfortable games in the Premier League.

"These two teams have been so good at nullifying the danger from the other teams, I don’t see the other teams being able to do that yet.

“City and Liverpool have a huge volume of games which you can expect them to win and that gives them a massive advantage when it comes to overall league tables.

Despite believing that they are a cut above the rest, Kompany says you cannot take anything for granted in Football and any sign of a drop-off will be pounced upon.

“ All I’m saying is it’s the reality of these two teams.

“I think anybody could recognise they’re ahead, but nothing is granted or given.
 

“If any of them drop their attention for one bit, the tables can turn, but I just don’t see any cracks.”
