Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is satisfied with his team’s start the season, but believes there is more to come from the reigning Premier League champions.

The citizens sit in third place, four points from league leaders Chelsea. However, they are yet to recapture the form that won them the title last season.

The commanding centre-back insists that all is going to plan. “We are exactly where we wanted to be, second or third place and there are still a lot of games to play. We are just getting through them.

“It's already positive for us to pick up so many points when people say maybe we didn't play our best games, but I think we have to be happy with the results”

The Belgium international, who got on the scoresheet against Scotland in midweek, knows City can play better and senses another good season.

“There will be moments where we will really switch it on.

“If we can still step it up, it's going to be a great season for us again.”

Kompany has been struggling with a calf injury this season, an accepts some of his performances haven’t been at the same level as his fantastic form last year. “I've always been good. It's just that we set such a ridiculously high standard last season that people are expecting a lot.

“That's fair enough, I've got no problem with that. I just keep working hard. I never really change my vision of the game, I always try to give my best.

“I just look at the league now and we are in a good position. We've done what we needed to do and we've managed to keep ourselves at the right place” said the Belgian defender.

Manchester City travel to Hawthorns at the weekend to face in-form West Brom and will hope to close the gap on first place Chelsea.

“Chelsea are obviously doing great at the moment. We never said it wasn't going to be a tough season” added Kompany.
