This has to be wind up right ? He cannot lose any more form he is at rock bottom, not even sure what his good form would look like............chance of a trophy = best team. No room for any other considerations whatsoever.

No it isn't. Considering the lineup that we we fielded against Chelsea and on the balance of play they had, 5 goals was a deserved result. To call them clinical would be doing them a disservice. Only 1 of the 5 goals were a direct result of a keeper's error: choosing the wrong side of goal for a Hazard FK and not getting to the ball to save it in time. But I think it would be harsh on him to inflate the importance of that goal in this debate. It was a well worked freekick and Hazard exercised great skill to deceive the keeper to score it. Let's not forget Hart has made worse mistakes at FKs in the past. The Bertrand Traore flicked goal was fluke-ish and the reality is that if he had been in a position to catch or parry the ball before it dropped in to the top corner, then he would have been poorly positioned in normal circumstances. He also saved the penalty from Oscar and was brave coming off his line and forcing errors from attackers, and made an excellent reflex save at close range.

Prior to the Chelsea game, he hadn't conceded in the FA cup this season, and he has conceded 6 goals in the 5 LC games, not outstanding, but it us up to the defence infront of him to the bulk of the work towards keeping clean sheet. Pantlimon's outstanding record in 2013-14 was a result of two factors: better form from the outfield players, most notably attackers, allowing us to batter opponents into submission; And a relatively easy semi-final opponent in a porous West Ham, compared to an organised and determined Everton this season.
 
No!

If Willy plays, forget winning the trophy. Nothing against him, but playing him would give Liverpool a massive boost.

It's the final. City should play their best team. And that means Joe Hart in goals.

Willy has helped us get to the final and deserves his starting place.

Joe was brought in for the FA Cup Final against Wigan and it was an unmitigated disaster. Not really Joe's fault but it was very damaging to Club morale to dump Pants!

I agree. Every player is rusty if he doesn't play. Hopefully his mistakes are finished and he'll play a blinder. Team spirit is more important than individuals or fans jumping on the bandwagon. There is also no guarantee Joe wouldn't make a mistake. Willy deserves to play if it's previously been agreed he'd play the domestic cups.
