Kompany tells City not to give up on title dream

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany
has reminded his team-mates not to give up on their
dream of winning the Premier League because they
have come from behind to lift the trophy in the past.
City are now six points behind leaders Leicester with
12 matches remaining after a damaging 2-1 home
defeat against title rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are down in fourth place and
will need to overhaul Arsenal, Tottenham and
Leicester in the final weeks.
But City claimed the title in 2011-12 and 2013-14
despite having been eight and seven points off the
top respectively with six games left to play.
Belgium defender Kompany was part of both of those
triumphs and he has no intention of surrendering yet.

"Nobody is allowed to give up on anything," he said.
"It's a setback but we wouldn't know our personal
history well if we didn't expect to still kick on from
here."
Once again City were below their best against
Tottenham, who took the points thanks to a late
Christian Eriksen strike.
But while he was disappointed by the outcome of the
Tottenham clash, which came a week after an
equally frustrating home loss against Leicester,
Kompany feels there are positives City can take from
the contest.
"We're obviously disappointed with the result but if
you look at the game, while Tottenham played well,
they've not had many chances," he added.
"I thought we looked pretty solid. We need to take
some positives out of this performance."
