Manchester City have a breadth of talent in their squad but juggling them all is a fine balancing act which Pep Guardiola must perfect
To have the amount of quality which City possess and yet still be able to keep the vast majority happy is a skill Guardiola has perfected down to a fine art. Somehow, the Catalan coach knows exactly when it is the right time to rest a key player and when a squad player must be given some minutes.
This week, Ortega declared his ambition to be City's No.1. On the face of things this is a realistic ambition to have and the former Armenia Bielefeld shot-stopper has proven himself to be a more than capable deputy for the Blues when called upon. More so than any other position on the pitch, goalkeeper is a role which relies on regular minutes to keep the first choice sharp. Confidence is also a big factor in this and knowing the manager is backing you specifically to be relied upon in goal is huge.
