joe hart

[Jumanji]

id be more worried to who's leaked it from within the team if true...you can see from pellers press call that he wont give give the journos out to get there horrible little mits into,so for me its come from within

if there was a leak, it was probably a stadium worker.

Lets be honest, it could also be Joe out of spite but I somehow doubt it.

Or from one journalist's vivid imagination and then they all jump on the band waggon. I don't trust our press these days as far as I could throw one of them!!

If the rumours are true, then that's fantastic.

It would set a terrible precedent if a player is in such poor form (not even sure form is the right word at this point), yet can keep their place.

If you play well enough, you should generally be rewarded with a start. For similar reasons, Dzeko should start Sunday.

Some very obtuse humour in that last paragraph.

Play well enough
Dzeko?
SUNDAY?

i meant tommorow obviously...wouldn't be the first honest mistake a human has made.

& yes Dzeko...he just got an assist and goal. He's made a case to start the next game.

Sorry mate I genuinely thought you were on the wind up, but if you weren't that means you were being serious about Dzeko. I agree with you about his contribution in extra timewhich was obviously crucial but I can't get over his performance in the 90 minutes of normal time.

Whilst I argued that retaining Hart was a bigger call it may not be such a big call for Pellers if he didn't rate Joe in the first place and was looking to replace him with someone he does trust. Its even less of a big call if Txiki has come to share this view. If this is the case and you also factor in what happened to Barry it would be slightly ironic that the man who did rate them is the one man they were happy to see the back of.

Mind you with the media in fully cry over the dropping of Hart Pellers will probably now play him just to piss them off.

I think Joe should be first choice. He proved his quality so many times. Mistakes are part of deffending and he made them just few comparing with our last deffending line. 50% goals we got were for poor deffending tactics and for MP not being able to solve that problem. For example, Roma in Italy has 10 streight wins with only one goal in their net, new liga record. We played away leading 1:2 and then lose game 3:2. Joe become victimized by MP and fans, but the true problem is with MP. Since beggining of this season in several occassions I posted that something is wrong with our deffense. If MP can not find solution then MC should hire world class proffessional advisor just for deffending part (as mentioned above - no better then Italian)
Also it would be bad for English national team that Joe is benched permanently which will deffinetly coused his form to be ruined before WC.

Mancini was looking to replace Hart with Begovic according to David Platt.

It's been reported by one of the papers (can't be arsed checking which) that Joe Hart was 'fuming' when he left training... It doesn't take a genius to put 2+2 together and actually get the right answer.

It's how he acts in January that matters

Fuming for what? Tad immature of true.

There's no Way he can be fuming, it's not as if he's been harshly treated.

He might be upset but that's entirely different.

Joe is a bright guy and a committed team player. He knows the score and he knows he's been on thin ice for weeks now.

This is about right mate it was the final nail for Joe with the last minute Chelsea goal. for me we are the best team in the Prem by a fair distance and silly mistakes have cost us and not just by Hart the manager needs a bit of a think to be honest, the whole defence needs a bit of work for me the kompany/Lescott partnership looked alright to me ball player alongside a defender was ok, then the boy god nasti was introduced who is a good prospect but that's all. and playing Garcia in front of anyone at centre back hmmmm. I wonder if the manager will play Lescott and Demichelis tomorrow.

Ironic that after a number of Joe Hart mistakes, it's a Matija Nastasic mistake that gets the keeper dropped.

The Chelsea gaff cannot be put on Nastasic whatsoever.

That's all Joe.

P.S. Joe, if you're going to call keeper, don't do it the split second before your defender heads away the ball!

 

[MadchesterCity]

Re: Joe dropped?

The same as it was on the other 2 or 3 threads about Joe Hart, Pantillimon and City goalkeepers in general.

Haha touché

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Joe dropped?

According to some reports Joe has been dropped for tomorrow's game. What are your thoughts?

Don't know where they get this from. I should Pellers would tell the two goalies first and he has already sez he will decide tomorrow!

It was confirmed 2 hours ago by a BBC correspondent at the ground apparently.

I thought Platt had denied that - although since the relationship had clearly broken down it may well be true. Makes you wonder if everyone had just concentrated on doing their job in the first place we may not have reached his point. It will be a shame if Joe doesn't bounce back as I kind of like having England's No 1 as our GK. It a minor thing perhaps but a degree of Englishess (if thats a word) in our team is no bad thing.

You might even get a whopper with that.

 

[mat]

If true the press will have a field day about splits in the team etc...

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

If a player isn't up to scratch, he either gets dropped or he gets a couple of games to turn it around. And if he still fails, he's either dropped for a longer spell, or put up for sale. So what is happening with Joe is no different than it would be or should be with any other player. Fergie did it with De Gae, and it's done him no harm. It's all a matter of how Joe responds, and I expect him to now go back to basics and get his act together, and he'll come back stronger for it. And let's look at it a bit more positively. If an outfield player is playing a stinker, he'll get hauled off and will feel humiliated for it, but when did anyone see a keeper substituted for anything other than injury? If that happened to Joe, just picture the newspaper headlines the following morning.

 

[mammutly]

Lot of pressure on Pantillimon tomorrow then. Hopefully, he will put in a great performance.

It will do Hart good to sit on the bench for awhile. He became number one choice too early in his career and would have been better with another season supporting, and learning from, Shay Given. I think he's responded to making mistakes by becoming overly confident, which has more to do with immaturity than any lack of ability.

We'll sink faster than the Titanic if Pellegrini says "My Hart will go on".

[BosnianDragon]

The real issue is deffense in general. Benching Hart is just covering up the problem, not real solution. MP so far does not have solution and seems lost. We already wasted so many points to recover for title run. MC owners should react by bringing new signings or find other way to help MP who is not up to the task

 

[80s Shorts]

If anyone doesn't say Joe Hart is NOT! the main individual to the defensive woes, then they hasn't with been watching City, an English homer, or doesn't understand the game.

You certainly like digging holes for yourself don't you just

Hitting a nerve for you. And what hole am I digging exactly? F**K right off with attitude, pal.

Lol. I has been watching City and although I think that is t is a delicate and difficult situation; to blame Hart for all current defensive problems shows you to be a usa know nowt and they hasn't been watching City.

There's no issue other than injuries to Demichelis and Kompany.
