Joe is a top keeper but he makes some decisions at times which make you scream, "what are you doing".
He definitely needs decent competition next season otherwise he will go backwards in my opinion, Caballero would be my choice but he is a very good goalkeeper and it wouldn't surprise me to see Pellegrini picking him as first choice.
I am not overly convinced Hart will ever produce that form he showed two or three seasons ago and I ask the question, has he peaked too soon?

Don't forget he has had a back four of Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka and Baines in front of him and Henderson and Gerrard as 'defensive midfielders'. Of those six only Cahill would secure a place in the City line up. Maybe he's not world class, but he is the best English keeper by far.

By and large a good post.
Except for one fatal error. Joe is actually World Class.
I can't think of three keepers who are better than him. Massive credit to him as well for getting his mojo back after going through a really bad time.

Just honestly can't agree that joe is world class at all. He showed glimpses that maybe he could become one of the elite keepers in the world during the 11/12 season.. Dortmund game in particular but he has definitely regressed since then.
His reading of the game seems very poor and often he'll get caught out of position.. Balotelli the other night sums this up perfectly. His distribution is dire but everyone knows that. The being beat at the near post is a real issue and the problem I've got with this is that he's being touted as a world class keeper. He isn't and I doubt he ever will be. I'd love to be proven wrong but for me his attitude is all wrong. Did he really need to be making adverts when he was dropped from the side for poor performances last season? For years we would have been taking the piss out of the rags for stuff like this .. But really? Joe hart? It smacks of poor attitude, of someone that takes them self far too seriously. The say 30 hours he's spent making adverts doing voice overs this season could have been spent practicing. And I don't buy any of this bollocks about a short career and needing to earn. He earns more in 2 weeks than i do in a decade
