Kompany: Goals will come
Vincent Kompany believes Manchester City will soon be rattling in the goals and improve their prospects of a place in the Champions League.[LNB] The Belgium defender insists there is much to be positive about after the goalless draw against Manchester United at Eastlands.[LNB]It was a dour derby and manager Roberto Mancini found himself fielding questions about negative tactics.[LNB]But Kompany was pleased with the way the team played and feels they can kick on in their forthcoming games against Birmingham, Fulham, Stoke, Bolton and West Ham.[LNB]City are four points clear of fifth-placed Newcastle and he said: "As a defender I would rather the game finished 0-0 than 4-4 or something. It may have been better for the fans but it is a good point.[LNB]"It puts us in a good place in the league. We are still very much in it and we will make sure we win against Birmingham. We have a great possibility in this game.[LNB]"We have picked ourselves up and are looking forward. There is a four-point gap between us and our competitors for the Champions League spot. It is interesting and things are going in a good way for us.[LNB]"We have played maybe the five best teams in the country in Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, United and Chelsea and kept four clean sheets against them.[LNB]"Those teams usually score for fun but we have done well to contain them. It is a positive thing. Goals will come in our next games.[LNB]"It is a very long season. Winter is coming. The dangerous month of December is coming, so there will be a lot changes in months ahead."[LNB]In a game of few chances former United striker Carlos Tevez came close to making the breakthrough in the first half but Edwin Van der Sar was equal to his superb free-kick.[LNB]Kompany added on www.mcfc.co.uk: "We were not going to give anything away against United. We did not want to give them any presents.[LNB]"There was a lot of build-up to that game and everybody did their best. It was just both teams did better defensively than offensively."
