Re: joe hart
I must correct myself in regards the 3 years comment as one of them seasons was with Birmingham but in those 3 years he was twice named in the PFA team of the year, missing out in 2010/11 to Van Der Sar.
Yes he has his flaws but I think you're exaggerating a bit where this is concerned. I still believe that he can improve, most keepers only start reaching their peak in their late twenties so there's plenty of time for Joe to regain his form and kick on.
Like I said in response to Mihai, the fact that he's English bears no significance to me but I do agree that his ability has been overhyped in the past in the British media, that's what they do, isn't it? Build them up to knock them down.
I agree on current form he's not the best in the country but should a drop in form see him frozen out? I think that's a bit harsh all things considered.
Again I hear what you're saying in regards holding onto a decent number 2 keeper but I have faith that between Pellegrini, his (ex-goalkeeper) assistant and his goalkeeping coach they will get this right.
whp.blue said:Rolee said:whp.blue said:by the same rule Hart has made lots of costly blunders Pants hasn't
how come hart was given the chance to prove himself once but Pants seem not to deserve that same chance
Hart may never get back to his best Pants is a City player just as much as Hart and surely he should be given the same chance ?
I hear what you're saying but Hart must have some credit in the bank for 3 brilliant seasons ( before last season) as our number 1.
The reason I think Mancini and Pellegrini persevered with him through his run of bad form is because they know what he's capable of.
The same faith can't really be put in Pantillimon when he hasn't proven himself, yet.
So, harsh as it may be, they will be treated differently.
not sure I agree with your Three year comment
During them three years Hart was criticized for his poor distribution and piss poor ability to command his area
Fans on here defended him by stating he was young and would get better
when time has proven in reality he has gotten worse much worse
His distribution is still well below his piers his command of his box is still woeful and to add to that his shot stopping has deserted him
hart is only regarded so highly as he is viewed as Englands number one keeper and whilst this still may be true there is a massive caveat
English keepers have never been so poor in fifty years so Hart is in fact the best of a very bad bunch
Hart is no longer the Best keeper in Manchester let alone England he may well be the best English keeper but we don't actually need an English keeper at City and he has used up all of his lives at City Pants needs to be backed and given his chance or we will never be able to hold onto a number 2 keeper who would be good enough to replace a number one
then what do we do if our number one is ruled out for months through serious injury?
