I hadn't changed my view on the poll here for a few weeks as I don't think it's necessary to change after every game, but now I'm in the satisfied camp. Incredible home form, plus a strong Champions League campaign has put us in a good position in both competitions. Plus we're still in the League Cup with a great chance of progressing further.
I still have concerns over our away form in the League. The results were better against West Brom and Southampton, although we didn't play well for about 65 minutes against West Brom and were pretty dreadful against Southampton. However, at least we didn't lose which I'll take as a good start, with room for improvement.
I still think Kompany and Lescott would be our strongest centre back pairing, but Pellegrini doesn't seem to want to do that, and at least Demichelis (or pretty much anyone) is better than Nastasic or Garcia there.
Looking forward to today's Champions League draw. I don't think we need to fear anyone, and all of our potential opponents will be praying they don't meet us in the next round.
