Joe Hart (continued)

[Ray78]

Does anyone know who long has Hart got left on his contract? This is an issue that needs to be sorted if it runs out in a couple of seasons time.

I see quite a few comments criticising Hart's distribution, but I can't see an issue there.

He went through a poor patch and it started to affect his decision-making, but I think he's a really top keeper. Potentially the best in the Premiership. De Gea has a lot of fans, but he is rooted on his line, and can not be regarded as a top keeper while he has a fundamental weakness

Disagree strongly, it hasn't just been an issue with confidence. He's consistently struggled to get the ball out to the players feet for well over a season now, I think the way we're currently set up makes it really easy though and much less of a problem. Ferna and Yaya are always dropping deep as the centre backs push wide.

He signed a new one in mid-2011 for 5 years.

So by my rough calculation he has only got a couple of seasons left. A few tough decisions have to be made by Txiki Begiristain and Manuel Pellegrini over the next 12 months imo.

this is a bit of a no brainer. Joe cocked up with his decisions which cost the team. this will play on a keepers mind. having seen more of costel i am sure joe is a better keeper. when he is reintroduced he will be totally focused and long term probably better for a bit of adversity.

btw joe hart is as good as any keeper out there

Lol I was gonna comment more but realized my response struck a stark resemblance to some Dzeko fanboys so deleted & gonna keep schtum.

Make your comment. Don't keep "schtum." I'm a City fan. This is a forum for blues.

I shall not keep schtum for him then, your comment was stupid, what is your timescale for a quick return to the team? In regards to Pantillimon, at matches you'll hear a rather large groan as roughly once per game he comes out and punches a ball straight to the penalty spot. He hasn't made that many one on one saves, I'd guess Joe has made just as many when coming in for him. And by larger than life I think just large would of sufficed.

Pantillimon is a good 2nd keeper, not a great one.

Edit: Ironically you left out the rather large flaw in Joe's game which Pants is doing well, which is distribution. Pants gets rid of it very quickly and has faith in Ferna/Yaya to deal with it as they almost always do. Joe needs to work on getting the ball from his hands and into these two as quickly as possible.

My comment wasn't stupid. Your punctuation is.<br /><br />-- Sat Dec 21, 2013 2:02 am --<br /><br />

All cock ups are fine then aslong as we win?

I was all for his resting but the longer this situation continues the more I fear for his long term future something I reckon is too soon to put at risk for the sake of keeping some bang average number 2 happy.

Bang average? Get your next bus to trafford.

Looks like he's gone . One way bus ticket. Rag central. What a shame. Enjoy your ride to europa league. If you're lucky.

Wind it in.

I will respond on here whenever I see fit.

I'd believe the Guardian over The Mirror any day but still think he'll keep Pants in goal.

Feel free to elaborate on any of these points genius.

Good game today. Not at fault for either goal, and might have saved one or two. No craziness either.
