Hart

[Prestwich_Blue]

I think it's about concentration. When he was in Birmingham i think he had alot more to do, now with City there is way less shots at goal. More playing time is the medicine.

I agree it's about concentration.. At Arsenal on Wednesday he seemed to stand and watch as their second hit the post. Plus he was slow to react when the ball bounced off him on Sunday. For that Blackburn goal he also seemed to be daydreaming and suddenly rush out when he saw the ball, despite the fact Toure seemed to have it covered.

Must be more difficult for a goalie in a good side though and there isn't a goalie that hasn't made a howler at some point. As long as he learns from it he'll be OK.

The way I saw it was Hart's fumble which led to the goal was as a consequence of Toure's unnecessary diversion of the ball, which was clearly going directly to Hart. Had Kolo left or properly cleared the ball then there would be no Hart fukup.

Give the guy a break, mistakes happen. He's generally been top notch this season.

This. Toure done it, but Joe looks the mug - while I grant you he may feel he should have done better, even with a very late deflection. Personally I see no basis whatsoever to depose Joe over this.

While we're trumpeting Van Der Rag, who was it against where he fumbled a cross in from his right hand side, under no pressure, and conceded a goal? It was earlier this season.

Did Joe call for the ball? If not then you can't blame Toure. Its the keepers job to shout.
