Man City aren't in crisis despite Norwich shock. PLUS: Bayern's Bundesliga dominance is under threat

One of the more odd decisions this past summer was Manchester City not replacing  Vincent Kompany . "Replace" is perhaps too strong a word. You can't "replace" him but you can bring in another live body to give you an alternative at centre-back and provide some competition for  John Stones  and  Nicolas Otamendi . Many of us pointed this out but hey, it's Pep Guardiola, so you naturally offer the benefit of the doubt. He must know something we don't. Maybe  Fernandinho  (at 34) can fill in too. Maybe Eric Garcia is ready. Maybe  Kyle Walker  can slide across. Maybe  Aymeric Laporte  is Iron Man and will never get injured. (Oops: we already know that's not the case.) https://africa.espn.com/football/blog-marcottis-musings/story/3944165/man-city-arent-in-crisis-despite-norwich-shock-plus-bayerns-bundesliga-dominance-is-under-threat
