Is it ok to say fucking bollocks without causing offence?

OK by me :-)

Hart is world class this year. Not his fault at all that we didn't win the EPL/CL.

We will never win the big one with him

Well if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have got within 1 goal of getting to the final this season

I just wish that Joe would catch the ball more often rather than punching; punching so often invites pressure back onto the team. Outwith that, his position is the least of our problems; we have far more pressing needs elsewhere on the park.

He never used to punch it. Don't you think he was under instruction to punch not catch?

Oh dear............

Hart has had fantastic performances in the Champions league he single handedly kept Barcelona, Real Madrid and Dortmund from giving us a hammering and that's just off the top of my head.

He's more than good enough.

Certainly has the Dunney factor !

Needs to get his focus sorted more so with our CB situation. I believe if we fix the CB pairing and give them a good system, Hart wouldn't get into as much trouble. Mancini got it right in 2011. I blame CityTV and his goofing about for his loss of focus the year after.

Hart's distribution under Mancini was pretty awful. He invariably lumped it forward with generally poor results.

Under Pellers, Hart didn't seem to be under instruction to just lump it forward every time. Consequently, Hart's distribution went from god awful to way above average.

So yeah.... the punching thing could easily be misguided instruction from the coaching staff.

Yes it's often crossed my mind. I was trying to think back and was sure, like you, that used to catch most stuff and I'm sure his distribution used to be quicker too.

May be a data analysis thing. The bean counters will be able to say that if you miscue a punch there's a 14% chance of the opposition scoring, but if you drop a catch there's a 52.6% chance of the opposition scoring.

We have won the big one with Joe, twice. On top of that some of his CL performances have been utterly stunning
