It wasn't good , but neither was the needless free kick that Nastasic stupidly gave away to put Joe under pressure .......

JoeMercer'sWay said:feel he's been made a scapegoat.
Yes he's made mistakes.
Yes he's had a poor year.
Yes he could and should do better.
but ultimately...
we know how good he is.
players in outfield positions have been as mediocre (the likes of Silva and Nasri etc.)
he needs time with the new keeping coach to work on issues and build a rapport.
the last goalkeeping coach was with him 3 years and didn't resolve any of Hart's weaknesses, a coach who was appointed by a manager who then decided he wanted shot when his coach had failed him.
He's England's #1, our #1, home grown and needs something that English players rarely get and that's support instead of slating.
and even if you want to be cynical:
We'd need to sign another English or produce another one to replace him in our quota. There aren't any available that are good enough.
There's a world class keeper in there, he needs time, patience, support and an improved coaching structure around it. Hopefully Pelle and his boys can deliver on that and keep his feet on the ground and get him back on track.
I'm going to back him. I know Casillas has been muted but I wouldn't swap Hart for any keeper, there's no need, all there's need for is a good coaching setup around him and proper management. With that our world class players will start showing that again.

I agree with the highlighted bit but while he's "getting back on track" are we going to lose more games because we keep picking him? It's an even more relevant question when the defence in front of him is going AWOL with alarming regularity - in those situations we need a keeper at the top of his game.

Villa werepoor ,and scored with practically the ONLY chances that they had ..... whilst we could easily have had eight or nine goals if we'd been more clinical in front of goal.

Is this based on alleged David Platt quotes that the man himself took to twitter to confirm were not true?JoeMercer'sWay said:feel he's been made a scapegoat.
