Just watched highlights of Arse vs. Brum online and Hart looked confident, in control, and a truly class keeper against Arsenal. His shot-stopping was good - couple of excellent stops from Walcott shots - but he also has that much needed commanding quality in his box.
So while he doesn't have Given's experience and perhaps isn't quite as good at shot-stopping yet, he has other strengths that Shay lacks, such as the above mentioned ability to command and claim the ball. Honestly, I think he may be ready to be our #1 goalkeeper although I fully expect Shay to be that for another year or so.
