Was one of my 3 favourite players of mancini era. Hate the way he had to leave. Honestly the most humble keeper for that to happen to

[@jimbo_1312]

He's not humble. Humble people don't burn £50 notes while stood at the bar in a pub in their hometown.

[@wasimdbala349]

LOOLLL Hart is a lot of things but Humble is NOT one of them

Humble? This guy? He's humble now since Pirlo made him eat some humble pie, for being cocky and arrogant. He was anything but humble during his playing career.

[@drex5160]

The irony was that the first season Claudio Bravo was an absolute nightmare, letting Joe have a go for a season couldn't have been as bad.

[@LeominsterFC]

That’s with hindsight. Bravo was amazing for Barca and Chile. He just made a few mistakes early at City and couldn’t get it together. Funnily enough he basically single handedly won them a Carabao Cup the next season when he was a backup.

[@drex5160]

​@@LeominsterFC true, but if Bravo had a banger season they might have missed out on Ederson.

[@marcelohendrix6139]

it would've been bad for city because they all got used to playing out the back and joe hart was terrible in italy and in the prem. so pep made the right decision, he was simply not good enough

This is so similar to his response to the same question on the fozcast. I wonder if he’d kinda rehearsed the answer or if it’s just something he gets asked a lot. I’ve done interviews and you get the same kinda questions. Tell the same stories. But it was very similar. Just an interesting note there.

[@JimboPrague]

Nine times out of ten Pickford just boots it up the field, yet he's now the England keeper.

[@nighttime3559]

People saying he wasn’t world class , he was for 2/3 years possibly 4. Won the FA cup , league cup , 2 PL titles numerous golden gloves. He defo went up a level in the big games , unfortunately I don’t think he recovered from leaving city and he’s career defo went down hill rapidly. Seems that what people remember him for and decide to say he wasn’t world class , was a lot more to hart before the pep incident , achieved a lot. Honest & humble , respect.

[@nabri-nfg3262]

I loved joey he is my favorite goalkeeper of all time

[@stevarey3519]

Remember 2014 world cup 4 goals he conceded none of them his doing his defence was a shambles i liked him and still do love jordan hes great but joe was a lost asset nice to see him speak so honestly

[@daluxe2000]

It just shows the real personality and caracter of Guardiola. He did, and will do everything to win. Fair, unfair, indecent, a-social. Wehave seen a lot of unfairness of him and his players when he coached Barcelona. If winning in sport at all costs is all that matters for a person it will be a lonely journey filled with a lot of fake, so called friends.

[@hafolahbi]

Joe Hart was purely a professional

[@theghostofbabanovac7069]

He was a decent keeper. But i remember Pantilimon being much better than him but of course Joe Hart had the advantage of being England's goalkeeper, so Costel Pantilimon as a foreigner didn't had a chance no matter how good he trained or played...

[@russellward4624]

Panti definitely wasn't better at any time. He was very below average.

[@theghostofbabanovac7069]

@@russellward4624 Panti was a better GK in my view because he didn't blunder so much, he was more consistent and as my former coach said - consistency is the most important quality a GK can have. If a GK can manage to save what's there for him to save in terms of basic situations, he doesn't even need to be noticeable during the game, but he's confident in catching and parying what he SHOULD catch and pary then that's a good goalkeeper. If he's the kind of keeper who becomes the hero of the match today with tremendeous reflexes but the next matchday he fails to deal with a very basic catch and lets the ball trickle through his legs, that's not a good GK. You can easily make a top 10 Joe Hart blunders. I mean i don't wanna be harsh Joe Hart was decent but he was nowhere near the level of Man. City, Panti was also a decent GK, i don't claim for him to be the greatest or even Man. City worthy starter but in that particular situation when you had only these two Panti was a bit better in my opinion.

You don't need to be a World class goalkeeper by playing the Ball with feet, main objective is to stop goals, they play with goal keeper's at the back, makes senseless mistakes because Pep is the greatest in playing from the back yet they make mistakes, still pump the ball forward. Modern football or pure athletics?

Joe you have talked the truth Yaya,Jesus,cancelo and others failed.fitting in the vision

[@wengelder9256]

All different cases . Hart can’t play with his feet . That means he is out . Cancelo was a crybaby who wanted more game time even though he played more than most other players . Jesus not a deep striker . All these players are ok to earn ridiculous money . But it is business . Nothing else . And management must be tough . In PG case he combines it with being very successful. Cancelo lost out on more titles and champions league and won nothing with Barcelona , Jesus is a be warmer for arsenal. Joe Hart left and never played for England anymore It’s lonely at the top. When it comes to business , tough decisions have to be made . Guardiola makes them . He is not there to massage somebody’s ego . Toure was way past his prime and went on to play for not so great teams .

Issue with the manager ( half of the world has issues with their manager at work ).so , instead of stating something without meaning , state the real reason . The real reason , as said by him … “ city were ungrateful “ and “ he wanted more playing time “. The truth is , Cancelo had issues , despite playing a lot , that the likes of Ake were getting priority , that’s why he thought city was ungrateful . Maybe he could not handle the pressure . He was happy to take a lower salary … in other words … can’t handle the pressure … But you seem to be “ in the know “ … Anyway who cares … people think that a manager must massage egos . He doesn’t . Cancelo left . City won the premier league . Nobody cares anymore about him . Ancient history . Good player , forgotten already. He played a lot that season but couldn’t handle being benched . Far better players than him , de Bruyne being one, have been benched . It’s a long season . Grow up FFS

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

@@wengelder9256 Cancelo never said "city were ugnrateful". When did he say that? And I do have a suspicion. Pep already wanted to get him out of the team when his defensive flaws started showing up. He gave him one game as RW just to say he gave him a chance in the team in a new position......and then Cancelo had a disagreement with Pep where he (Cancelo) probably got a bit angry. Right there and then Pep decided to move him on. Everything else Pep says.......including him "not liiking his team mates to get game time" is just BS. KDB had similar problems iwth Pep due to game time and he handled it differently, of course. And get a life. I humored you with an explanation, but you write too much and are to emotionally invested in criticizing these ex-.Pep players. You probably have a big agenda here, but i don't want a part in it.

Middling club backed by billionaires. Maybe you can buy some more fans? Or an atmosphere for the stadium?

[@onthekippaxsince75]

You aren’t a bad GK when you have 73 England caps and 2 premier league titles in your bag. The biggest problem was joes replacement, there’s no doubt Bravo was a decent keeper, he played for Barca after all, but he just wasn’t suited for the physicality of the premier league. The first thing I noticed was his size, he just didn’t look big enough to cope with the physical demands of English football, I think the rest of the team and especially the defence looked like they just didn’t have confidence in him, and as a consequence the team wasn’t where we should have been that first season. JH was brilliant in his time for us, and his contribution will never be under estimated. Enjoy your retirement Joe.

[@JackKlumpass]

[@Hieillua]

Truth?? We've known the truth since the start. It's nothing complex. Guardiola wanted a keeper that plays well with his feet and has solutions to aid with the build-up from the back. Hart was great on the line in his prime, but he wasn't ever great with his feet. Different type of keeper that didn't fit Guardiola's standards.

[@Pul3M]

Pep moved right-footed midfielder Fabian Delph to leftback & City broke records. He moved a 23 year old Ukrainian attacking midfielder, who was playing in Russia, to leftback at City & Zinchenko was crucial to City breaking records. Before Haaland, City had no reliable striker yet Pep developed the team to play without a striker & they still won the league.

[@Pul3M]

"Pep has no time to develop players"? Have we forgotten who the PL player of the season is? Pep has done a brilliant job in patiently developing Foden to World Class status. Sterling played his best football under Pep - once he left City he couldn't even get into the England squad.
