Joe Hart does not feel entirely safe in his role as Manchester City's number one - and knows he has much to do to keep his England place.[LNB] Hart has dislodged Shay Given as City's first choice stopper and started all seven of their Premier League games so far this season.[LNB]The 23-year-old has also found favour with England boss Fabio Capello following the World Cup debacle, starting the last three internationals.[LNB]But Hart, who joined City from Shrewsbury in May 2006, does not feel certain of retaining his place in either team and knows he must continue to work hard to impress.[LNB]He told the Daily Mirror: "I don't feel established at all yet.[LNB]"I still feel quite new to City, even though I've been here a long time.[LNB]"I class myself as new and I'm also new to the England scene, so I've got an awful lot of work to do to try and nail down a place."[LNB]Hart also insisted there was no animosity between himself and Given after he dislodged the Republic of Ireland stopper as Roberto Mancini's starting keeper.[LNB]He added: "It was totally cool. We both felt it wasn't down to me doing anything to him or him doing anything to me.[LNB]"It was all down to the manager."
