JOE HART GOALKEEPING SUPERSTAR. BUT GIVEN IS BAD AT CROSSES!!!!! :rolleyes:

He is bad at crosses.

Well Chris Samba was just awesome today and Paul Robinson had a great game as well. For City and despite the fact that they had lots of chances I thought Kompany had a fantastic game.

And on my commentary beef, you heard it all there. It did look to me like a penalty when Johnson went down but the ref waved it away and the commentators say it was a certain penalty. I just don't know how they can be so certain about that and not be 100% certain about Joe Hart's foul on Kalinic in the first half which was so blatant.

He's still the better overall goalkeeping package though. Don't worry, you'll learn as the season progresses.

Hart deserves his chance and bar that mistake has been excellent this season.

One mistake does not a bad keeper make. If it did then Pepe and his two so far this season would be fecked

Again, as I say, the mistakes will tally up over the coming weeks and months. No matter, the center back position is an even bigger problem for that team.

Hart finaly made a mistake... Prepare for the onslaught!!!

Its how Hart reacts now is the big question. An experienced keeper like Van der Sar or dare I say it, Given has seen and done enough over his career to leave a howler behind him, while a young lad who has never really faced anything like this before could easily dwell upon it and let it destroy his confidence.

Goalkeeping mistakes will happene absolutely everyone, its how you bounce back that seperates the top drawer ones from the wannabes. Unfortunately for Hart, he's English and has been recently proclaimed the Messiah by the media, so it will be even harder for him.

Home record gone.

Doesn't get any easier with Everton next week.

Squad depth is going to kill them stone dead. But they've already shown enough to indicate that they'll make a fight of staying up at the very least.

Its still early enough for them to be just as easily this season's Burnley tbh.

Its not his first howler, he had a couple before for City and for Birmingham too.

Its his first since he bacme undisputably City's No. 1 and Englands' No.1 - the first since theglare of the spotlight has been turned so squarely on him. And it was a desperately bad howler to boot. The tabloids will love it. It remains to be seen has he the stuff to bounce back, as I said, errors for every keeper are inevitable and are a side issue to how he deals with it.

Hart is a good keeper, but it will be interesting to see how this one hits him, lets face it, it was a complete howler - not the sort out of bad luck etc,

On a side note he could learn a thing or two about delivery from Robinson, just watching today Robinson is highly successful in finding his own man from kickouts and long punts, Hart is less than 50% or so from what i have seen of him this season. For me that is the main area of his game he needs to work on.

Poor ****er, hope it's not too bad.

Bobby Zamora has broken his right leg just above the right ankle and Fulham boss Mark Hughes says he is out for a minimum of four months. Really unfortunate news for Fulham.

Well they are not going to say last season when the 4 games were this season,

However old the season may be, 1 game, 10 games, 30 games, it is still this season,

Nothing wrong with saying it at all really.

Shows how unpredictable the league has been so far (bar Chelski), I still think they're candidates for relegation, probably along with Necastle.

Watching Georgia @ South Carolina. Brilliant to see a game where you know not one of them is a hideously overpaid prima dona.

I'll keep my mouth shut during the USC game later though.

Oooooh, controversial!

everdead.ie

Really disappointed with our start to the season we just aren't getting the rub of the green I thought there were good cases for penalties in both today's match and the city game but we seem so blunt in front of goal.

Zamora broken ankle.

Out for 4 months at least

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora is facing at least a four-month lay-off after sustaining a broken ankle in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Wolves.
Zamora suffered the damage to his right leg during a hard challenge from Wolves skipper Karl Henry and received oxygen before being carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital.
Fulham manager Mark Hughes revealed that he could be out for longer if surgery reveals further damage, and said: "If the injury is as we think it is, it's likely to be four months. If the surgeon goes in and finds other damage rather than just the break, which is four centimetres above his ankle, it will be even longer than that. The four months looks like a minimum."
Hughes remonstrated with referee Phil Dowd on the pitch after the half-time whistle had blown but later conceded Henry's tackle was not malicious.
"It's a shame but I don't really lay the blame on the player (Henry). It's one of those," said Hughes.
"There's always a danger if you get tackled from the side or from behind that players' legs can get trapped.
"I don't think there was any intent to hurt Bobby. You don't expect the circumstances of the injury to be the result of a challenge like that, but it can happen.
"At the time I was a little bit disappointed that the referee didn't view it as a foul, but there you go."
