    I think Joe Hart has been a decent club goalkeeper for a number of years, but I am struggling to think of a worse goalkeeper that has worn the England jersey. (maybe only Rob Green comes close) The bloke is hopeless when it comes to wearing 3 lions on his shirt.

    Following his disastrous European Championships last year one of the most distinguished managers in the world looked at Joe Hart and said “No not for me”. Should this have set the alarm bells ringing for the England manager> NO the FA’s own Mr yes man – Gareth Southgate clearly oblivious to his flaws decides he is still the best goalkeeper England has to offer which in my mind says he simply hasn’t watched the other English goalkeepers in the Premiership this season of his judgement is seriously flawed. Either way its a very concerning state of affairs.

    Let’s be clear, whilst both of Scotland’s goals were decently taken free kicks, neither were in the corner, and both were at a decent height for a goalkeeper. Joe Hart got his starting position wrong on both occasions. Once is bad but to do it twice in 3 minutes is simply criminal. I was at the game, behind the goal and our group called both goals before they hit the net basically saying Hart had left such a gap and if Leigh Griffiths could hit it, which he duly did the Hart was giving himself no chance.

    Mr Southgate is a very lucky man, because Harry Kane saved his job, which Joe Hart very nearly cost.

    He made around 8 howlers for Torino last season. Problem is he has constistently made blunders over the last 3 years, but he has always bounced about like he is untouchable. Pep has brought him back down to earth.

    Bravo is not much better-know his not English but Pep preferred him and I dont think his any kind of upgrade.

    I think City would have done better had they kept him. As for England he does seem untouchable……for now.

    Ian Walker, David James, Richard Wright, Paul Robinson, Robert Green, Chris Kirkland, Scott Carson…. England have had some really dire keepers down the years, never really replaced Seaman all those years ago.

    Seaman wasn’t all that imo. He had a brilliant Euro 96 and pretty much got picked for waaaay too long after that living off those browny points.

    I don’t mind Hart, he’s just fucking terrible dealing with freekicks.
