Joe Hart (joined Torino on season long loan - Official)

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

So he should pass it to people who aren't there? If the players in his third of the pitch aren't making themselves available what else is he supposed to do but send it long? Go on a dribble up the pitch and try to give the forwards a pass to feet?

Maybe he should shout at the defence in the same manner he shouted at that ball boy. Maybe that would work?

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

He's also much worse in one on ones, which is far from ideal with a high line and not near the shot stopper, plus he doesn't know the league and we've no guarantee he'll settle and show his best form over here. Not buying the bad apple argument with Hart either, he's never seemed anything but an absolute pro, unlike some others.

This is about the tenth time I've said this, not to you, obviously, but leaving anything external of play out of this, the level of distribution is shoddy and invariably invites pressure back on to his back line, as he gives possesion away cheaply... That will reduce in a possesion based system, something (imo) hart won't we able to cope with.... If you're discounting the 'bad apple' scenario as well, what do you believe are peps motives?? Shits and giggles

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

That's very true, but I don't think football and reality have been in the same room since the game became more than a viewed sport.

So since the nineteenth century, then?

He's never had much of a problem with doing that. Seeing as they acted in exactly the same manner with Caballero and Pants, maybe the defence had no interest in taking the ball of him, after all, it's hardly an integral part of the game in England is it?

Since it had the ability to take grown, usually sane and composed people and turn them into blubbering wrecks over a period of 90 minutes.

Would you of had kolorov as 'comfortable' prior to this season?

Of course you need spokes within the wheel, unfortunately Joe has a consistent puncture with his distribution...

Too early to judge this season, but to be honest, my gut feeling would be no, I'd not fancy him strongly under pressure from the very top forwards. But I'm not seeing him day in day out.
I wouldn't think Pep necessarily sees him in his longer term plans, but we can't upgrade everybody in one fell swoop, and Pep might have to wait for the right upgrade to become available.

I think Otamendi has far more ability if he can cut out his impetuous moments.

All this talk of kicking, what's Bravo's actual goalkeeping ability like?

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Are those the only 2 types of passes possible from a goalkeeper?

Daft question but does throw outs/roll out get counted as passes ?

 

[twoddlehopper]

All this talk of kicking, what's Bravo's actual goalkeeping ability like?

Probably more agile than Hart, but no better on crosses and certainly not as good on one on ones.

Not as good as Joe's.
