That is the kind of distribution Pep is probably looking for. Can anyone honestly look at it, and say Hart is capable of the same? Even though i like Hart...i can't.
Explain how Hart is awful on the ball then?
Because he's shite on the ball. He has an awful first touch, he's hesitant, he can't see passes for ages and then he he panics as soon as there's any pressure on him, his accuracy of passing is poor, his selection of passing is poor.
He is simply bad with a football at his feet and everyone who isn't blinded by sentiment knows it. That's why there's been rumours of him being replaced since the day Guardiola was announced.
If Pep can't work with Hart then we're in trouble, passing is the easiest part of football that all kids learn when they're 3. Most goals against us will come on the counter attack and Joe is excellent 1 v 1.
If it was that easy the likes of Zieler, Baumann, Fährmann, Weidenfeller even Trapp would have learned it by now , because it's clearly the reason why Stegen is on the national team over them. From a certain age on it isn't that easy to learn, and in addition a keeper is under much more pressure than a midfielder, because if he loses the ball because of poor passing at the back, with any decent forward in the opposition team it's almost certainly a goal.If Pep can't work with Hart then we're in trouble, passing is the easiest part of football that all kids learn when they're 3.
Tbf Bayern got caught in counter attacks quite a lot, and would have conceded a lot more if not for Neuer's sweeping and him being very good in 1v1.No they wont. Pep's spent 3 years stopping counterattacks in Germany which is dominated by counter attacking football.
He doesn't care if Joe is great 1v1, he'll see it as a failure if the counterattack even gets to that stage.
If your only hope of stopping a counter attack is a good 1v1 keeper, then you're shit out of luck mate. What Pep does it preventing the counter attack before it's happening, which is why he wants his players to press high and get the ball back as fast as possible, this requires the GK to get up and out of his box so we can constrict the size of the pitch.If Pep can't work with Hart then we're in trouble, passing is the easiest part of football that all kids learn when they're 3.

We'll be far better prepared for counter attacks.If Pep can't work with Hart then we're in trouble, passing is the easiest part of football that all kids learn when they're 3. Most goals against us will come on the counter attack and Joe is excellent 1 v 1.
Barca keeper always gets pressed cause the opposition knows they're going to try to play from the back. This is exactly why we need to have a good sweeper keeper. If our keeper never gets pressed by the opposition, then we can just use Joe there, as he's an able passer if he doesn't get any pressure. But we know that's not true now is it, the truth is the keeper will get pressed and that's when Joe starts to play hot potato with the ball.Mangala doesn't get the time on the ball a Barca keeper does
I thought since Pep already commented on this matter, people would be more accepting. Turns out not.Some people will literally say or think anything to avoid the fact that Hart is awful on the ball.
It's the fact he's not been asked to play, it's the centre backs. It's the system, it's the media, it's everything except Hart being awful on the ball.
