Poll for keeper on Tue. (CSKA Moscow)

[Maineman55]

Pantillimon 100%
And unless he has a howler, Pants will get the shirt at Sunderland at weekend.

We're talking pro sport here at the highest level.
And sentiment or emotion doesn't come into it.
Joe Hart doesn't have a devine right to be the starting keeper.
And the England situation is nothing to do with Pellegrini or City.

If and it's a very big if, Pantillimon was to start playing out of his skin, then Hart wouldn't get back in.
What happens on match day and the training ground will be the only yardstick.
Pellegrini will listen to Xabier Mancisidor, then decide what's best for City.
And that's the way it should be.

 

[Phil Meup]

Pantilimon.
He's got to feel he can be trusted. Every position needs decent back-up.

So you really, really, really want Pantilimon to play then??? :-)






I take it something went wrong with your iPad/iPhone/computer and you thought you hadn't posted? ;-)

 

[penalty spot]

Pantimillion, he needs to play a game where he is actually tested unlike the Norwich game . Unless he has a howler he should be given a decent run.

No not all. I'm not saying Pants is the man.
I just want what's best for the team.
Joe's record speaks for itself. He's been outstanding.
Especially that season loan at Birmingham.
But if he's not doing it, than you should think what's best for the team.
It may be he's back in at weekend.
He may not return for a while.

But Pellegrini has to make the call based on what's best for the team.
Not Joe Hart or Pantillimon.

Pro sports is tough.
And you can't get by on reputation.
The only thing that matters is the hear and now.
It's a wake up call for Joe.
And it should make him stronger.
Let's be honest he's not been pushed for club or country.

Not the tablet. Just me. ;-)

 

[Lee_One_Pen]

Pantilimon until the press feeding frenzy dies down. Joe can then return and feel that he is not under pressure, other than the normal pressure to perform at the highest level, which I am sure he will do again.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Either.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

Pantilimon. Done nothing to deserve being left out - position is surely his for the foreseeable now?

Unless Pantilimon ballses something up Hart is going to have to bide his time.
