Player Topic : Joe Hart (2015/2016)

[Len Rum]

The problem you've got Len is thinking everybody believes Hart is flawless when it's quite clear he isn't.
For you to focus on a couple of incidents during a game where he might not have dealt with things as well as he could when overall he was MOTM is petty in the extreme.

I don't have a problem
Last night Joe pulled off some decent saves but again flapped at an easy cross. This following the Swansea game and Norwich. There were a couple of similar incidents in the Bournemouth game and one at Everton where Joe 'lost' the flight of the ball from a corner and Naismith nearly profited.
So far from focussing on " a couple of incidents" in one game (Swansea), I am pointing out a pattern across a number of games.
Joe is a good shot stopper but has a weakness in his game in dealing with crosses.
Burton Blue has made a similar comment in the post Arsenal match thread.

You'll notice if you've read my posts on the subject that I'm partly in agreement in regards to his overall game. His controlling of the 18 yard box and decision making has been a concern for a while. The post you've replied to was after he got MOTM and not one I made last night.

Saved us from another battering AGAIN,just as well he is playing well as the defence keep hanging him out to dry

Your original post gave the wrong impression then because you failed to mention in it the points raised in sentences 1 and 2 above.

No, I just felt after getting MOTM it'd be petty to talk about his weaknesses in that instant.

Generous. He made one decent save where he smothered Ramsey and a couple of very routine stops, but he should have saved Giroud's goal. Two weeks in a row now he's let shots from narrow angles go straight through him. It's harsh, but he's the keeper, he's supposed to make saves.

 

[Whitefield Blue]

One of these goalkeepers who is supposed to be better than him (De Gea) but actually isn't at all, has in his last 2 games let a corner go straight in and allowed a poor Cameron Jerome shot to go through him and in.

In the unlikely event of Hart doing either one of those things the meltdown by his haters would be of epic proportions and they'd be telling anyone that'd listen that the likes of De Gea wouldn't do that.

There isn't a better keeper on this earth.

are you a keeper? i'm guessing not as if you were you'd realise just how hard it is to save a shot that goes between your legs. you physically cant close your legs fast enough to save the shot

They even teach young strikers in that position to shoot between the keepers legs cos the keeper can't react fast enough. Was a very tidy finish.

He's far from flawless but Jesus Christ, the guy is the last of our concerns right now.
