I wouldn't say he had a great second half to the season but rather a solid one. Although I do agree with you about reserving judgement until he plays behind a solid back four.

1) Needs tying to the posts with elastic, so he can't come too far out.
2) Needs to spend more time on kicking practice, because he is shit and everyone knows it.
3) For a 6'5" keeper, he does NOT command his 6 yard box on corners, let alone beyond that.
4) He is a good personality who is in danger of becoming a parody.
5) Needs to STFU giving interviews and buckle down.
6) Wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if Willy gets an extended run at some point, and Hart struggles to get back in. He is only one (more) stupid mistake in the Charity Shield away from it happening for the Newcastle game!
I've always been a fan, especially when he was a fantastic prospect, but I think other players have sussed him as a "bit of a lad" who is not living up to his full potential. I also think that is why Pelle decided to bring in someone he does trust....just in case.

Agree with this.

Thimk you're spot on mate, I do think hes a very good keeper, but he makes so many erratic mistakes, hasn't adapted at all to Pellegrini's new system and looks a shadow of the man who was phenomenal against Dortmund.

He has terrible judgement when operating as a sweeper and that's not exactly an easy fix, especially if it's down to more than just a confidence problem.
IMO, Willy will be the one we call on in the biggest of matches this season. Might take a month or two to happen, but I see it as inevitable.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no anti-Joe Hart guy either, I think he's WC - just yet to be convinced of his ability to adapt to a new system that demands so much more than what he's grown used to... As far as a shot-stopper, he's as good as they come, but does he have the mental capacity to also play as the last defender?
I mean look at how quick Neuer has adapted to Pep's system at Bayern - I'm sure we all had to a chance to witness his effectiveness in brazil... what's Joe Hart's honest excuse for still being so far off it?
This. A lot of folks are mired in sentimentality because he's English and 'our Joe'. Someone said it's only a freindly - well, aren't they the easiest ones to get right, with less pressure?
Everyone makes the odd howler every few years. Hart's are every couple of games - and you never really know where the 'distribution' will end up. Cant see past Calallero as our number one if we want to win things.
