da betobet： Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini refused to admit that Joe Hart will be his first-choice goalkeeper this season following the goalless draw at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.

da bet7： The England shot-stopper was the star of the show during the White Hart Lane stalemate on the opening day of the new Premier League campaign.

Hart made a number of fine stops in the opening period to keep the hosts at bay but, with last season's first-choice Shay Given sat on the bench, Mancini refused to be drawn into the debate.

"The right decision is always after the game for the manager, but I'm happy because I have two big goalkeepers," he said.

"I must take a decision and one strong goalkeeper must go on the bench."

City looked sluggish during the opening 45 minutes as new boys David Silva, Yaya Toure and Aleksandar Kolarov failed to make a telling impact, but their Italian tactician is confident the side will produce the goods in the coming weeks.

"I think that, because it's against Tottenham, it's a difficult game. It's the first game for us and the second time that all these players have played together," he added.

"I think that we need time because we have two, three new players and we haven't played together for five, six games.

"These players were together today and yesterday. It's difficult for us, but I think we have the time next week and we can improve."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
