Guardian: Joe Hart shows signs of frailty against Juve

Joe Hart shows signs of frailty in front of Fabio Capello

-The Manchester City goalkeeper is England's No1, but he showed against Juventus that he is still far from the finished article



Fabio Capello names his latest England squad on Monday, and one of the few aspects of selection that has not been discussed over the past few days is the position of goalkeeper. Joe Hart has made that his own. The Manchester City keeper is England's No1. So he must be due a high‑profile mistake.

It might be a tad harsh to say Hart made one after just 10 minutes of the game against Juventus. He did not throw the ball into his own net or suffer a calamity on the Robert Green scale, but with Capello watching from the stands Hart will certainly have been disappointed at his inability to deal with a well-placed, though relatively innocuous, shot from Vincenzo Iaquinta.

Shocking journalism. I couldn't read farther.

A shot that was well-placed, had good swerve, and was deflected is... innocuous?

I think the journo was talking about the free kick near the end of the game where it hit the bar. There are faults in Joe's game that need a little fine tuning.

It says "after 10 minutes." Iaquinta scored in the 10th minute.

True it was a well placed finish but bits and pieces from the Blackburn and Chelsea game have been a little worrying.

I thought Joe dived over the ball.....didnt see any deflection. Great shot no doubt, but Joe will be kicking himself with it.

You could say the same of any keeper.

Kolo got his head onto the ball and it spun downwards under Joe,He had no chance.

I think Juve had Hart down as a possible weak link, they looked like they were told to shoot from anywhere and test him.

i think they knew they weren't going to get in our box too often

Typical media, criticise the England players to death and then moan when they don't win anything.
