AK is probably quite instructive in that he is likely to have been on the out list prior to Pep arriving yet clearly he has bought into Pep's methods and embraced playing as CB for the good of the team and this positive attitude has won Pep's support. If Joe had done something similar then it is likely he would have bought himself a season to adapt.

It's possible AK may not have the skill set long term to work for Pep but right now it's all about attitude and a willingness to listen and learn and take that onto the pitch. This situation has escalated because of Joe's refusal to show Pep that he is willing to listen and learn.

Precisely, ask any but the most deluded fan who is the best centre half mangala or kolorov and who is the best keeper Joe or willy and the answer would be mangala and Joe. The fact that willy and kolorov played yesterday can only mean the manager made the decision based on either tactics attitude or a combination of both. These are absolutely what a manager should be basing his decisions on. Why people wet their knickers over it is anyone's guess.
 
Sure you can say Joe doesn't fit in with Pep's philosophy etc, but I'd still expect Pep would want a final confirmation of that having met and worked with him rather than completely formed that opinion before he arrived.
He'd go down in my estimations if that wasn't the case. Pep has said there is no problem, before, and after the game, and that Joe will fight for his place. Martin Blackburn has hinted that he will stay today, yet some are ignoring it.

Hows about we just wait and see what happens, instead of some trying to crucify Joe for "not trying".

I don't see much of that fella, he was dropped and people are discussing the possible reasons why, the wait and see policy has never worked on a football forum
 
You may be right, but equally, it could have just been a speculative tweet and they rode their luck and announced it. It was your Page 3 thingy that through me.
No it was leaked before the game. All the press had it.

Richard Keys knew the full squad half an hour before it was announced.
 
Can those who believe posters are being disrespectful to Hart please quote the posts they are alluding to. For the most part it's a genuine discussion on wherever he can cut it in a Pep team or not and seeing as he wasn't picked yesterday it's not as though we were wildly out.
 
Odd that some of the so called experts that crucified Joe in the euros and were musing about replacing him are now saying what a great keeper he is and questioning guardiola.
