interesting to hear what bob wilson said on five live last night , he stated he could study every single premiership keeper this season and they have probably made more mistakes than joe , but joes mistakes and magnified due to be at a top 3 club and current england number one , does he have a point ? Personally i think pantilimon deserves a chance , give time for joe to get his form back in training , but we must also take into consideration our defence is suspect this season , zabs,clichy,nastasic,komps have all contributed to some diabolical defending this season. Just a pity the media witch hunt will tear joe to pieces for the next few months , but a price worth paying because when he recovers his form , Joe hart is the best keeper in the world when he is at his best.
??? I am sorry mate. Totally disagree. He may not have made the most errors but his were game changers. If he wants a place in top team (which city aspires to be) than he should never be discussed in terms like that. With keepers confidence is a key commodity. And he has none. In my opinion never will. He will always doubt himself now unless he goes to a different team. Have you watech Neuer yesterday? massive presence. Great outside the box, very good in the air and perhaps the best shot stopper I have seen. But you are right with the defence .... non-existent. Clichy actually stopped running at one point just waiting for the offside flag!
You've got to be kidding thinking that he needs to go to another team to get his confidence back. Unless you mean that our defence are shite so he needs a different group of defenders because he doesn't trust ours anymore.
A keeper needs confidence in the people around him as well as in himself.
2 of our 3 defeats were down to shocking defending as a team!

The rot may have started around the time somebody went back on their word and left pantilimon out of cup final team. A bad decision if ever I saw one and we've suffered for it as a team since.if you have two players for every position then surely you both should get an equal crack of the whip?
That just doesn't happen with keepers.
Panty was left out because he wanted out.
