Title: West Hams Joe Hart Is home where the Har
(Joe) Hart made a few mistakes, especially when coming out for the ball. He is an important goalkeeper. We probably didnt expect so many mistakes from an England international, (Source: eurosport.co.uk). These were the words of Torino Chairman Urbano Cairo back in May when talking of goalkeeper Joe Harts unsucce sful season long loan stint at the Italian side in the 2016-17 campaign. The much maligned England number one is now back in his native country after signing for West Ham United this summer on another season long loan from Manchester City for the 2017/18 season.A major plot twist came when Pep Guardiola took over at Manchester City in the summer last year. With Manchester City favourites with and other bookmakers to win the league title, City could not afford any mistakes in goal. Hart had been poor in the 2016 European Championship, most notably making an unforgivable mistake that led to England being embarra sed by Iceland in the last 16. In addition it was well documented that Guardiola wanted a sweeper keeper, (a keeper who was comfortable with the ball at their feet) and if needed be able to start attacks. Hart it seemed had not made an  Juan Thornhill Jersey attempt to improve this part of his game and was immediately informed by his new manager that he was surplus to requirements.City wanted Hart to go out on loan and were not prepared to release him permanently, so interest was not quite as prominent as would have been thought for his services. Regardle s of whether or not it was a loan, with the name Joe Hart, you would have expected there to be numerous serious suitors. This may have been humbling for him. Hart subsequently signed for Torino on loan for the 2016/17 season.Hart was once dubbed a world cla s keeper by various sections of the media. The nosedive Harts career has taken is perfectly illustrated by Cairos comments upon him joining Torino, when he believed the Italian club had gained a top keeper. Initially when Torino secured the loan deal, he had said Joe Hart is a world cla s goalkeeper, with considerable experience from both Manchester City and the English national team, where among other things he made his debut at age 21, (Source: football-italia.net) Joe Montana Jersey . These high expectations as we will see were not fulfilled.The 2016/17 season could not have started any worse for Hart at his new adopted club. On his debut, Hart with Torino 1-0 ahead, flapped at a corner away against Atalanta and defender Andrea Masiello slotted in. This equaliser was just two minutes after Torino had taken the lead and they went on to lose Harts baptism of fire 2-1. The hartache continued throughout the season as Hart conceded a whopping 62 goals in 36 league games. This included five individual defensive errors by Hart, which was the second most in any of Europes top five leagues, (Source: Squawka). Only Palermos keeper Josip Posavec had more with seven errors and Palermo were relegated from Serie A. Hart can thank striker Andrea Belotti for his 26 league goals for Torino which managed to squeeze them into ninth place or things could have been a lot worse.Cries were coming from the British pre s and throughout social media during the season that Manchester City should never have let Hart go on loan; his replacement Claudio Bravo had not been enjoying the best time in goal as he started life in England. This goes to show how blinkered fans of the Premier League are and how little attention they pay to other leagues. They were so caught up in the Premier League that they did not realise Hart was having a terrible time himself in Italy.One has to think what exactly Harts mentality is going into this season. Through his trepid time in Italy he still started all of Englands eight internationals. This included friendlies against Spain and  Elijah McGuire Jersey Germany where Southamptons Fraser Forster or Burnleys Tom Heaton could have been given a chance to stake their claim. Now Hart is back in England, will this mean any errors like he made in Italy will be scrutinised differently and be more significant?Sensationalism is a mainstay within the media, now he is back in England surely this gives England coach Gareth Southgate and the pundits a better opportunity to track his performances. If Hart is not producing the goods then it could be perilous times for him and Southgate surely has to eventually drop him. Hart can ill afford to be too overconfident. With Stokes 24 year old keeper Jack Butland back from injury and with Everton bringing in 23 year old Jordan Pickford from Sunderland, Hart could lose his place to someone who could be Englands number one for the next ten years. With the World Cup coming up in the summer, a continuation in poor form could be detrimental Creed Humphrey Jersey  for years to come. So far to start this season, West Ham have already leaked ten goals in their opening three league games. So let us picture this, with last seasons haple s year in Italy; Englands number one will end the season having conceded well over 100 league goals in 2 seasons. 100 goals! If this does not make his position untenable for the World Cup then this just sums England up down to a tee. Hart is not the only one, but Englands loyalty to some individuals is why they never make an imposing statement when it really matters at the highest level.Harts first game after finishing the season in Italy was for England in June and this saw his positioning questioned as Scotlands Leigh Griffiths beat him with two late free kicks in a World Cup qualifier. It was felt that if Hart had arranged himself and the wall more adequately then Griffiths would have had le s of a target to aim at. Hart was bailed out as Tottenhams Harry Kane scored a goal in injury time to rescue England a point. Harts technicalities were summarised last year by Everton legend and former Wales International goalkeeper Neville Southall. Back in June 2016, he gave a candid a se sment of Hart stating, Hes never improvedhe goes at everything with two hands and he keeps smiling every time he lets a goal in, (whats all that about?). He continued I think Butland will overtake him and be miles better than him. On Butland, Southall further added, Hes got one of those bodies that attract the ball, which is what you need, (Source: telegraph.co.uk). In relation to this, the idea of Harts body not being able to attract the ball the way Southall is deploying can be displayed by the latest goal he conceded for England. In the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia, he maybe did not come off his line as quickly as he could have. Hart then made a highly questionable attempt to make himself big and Slovakias Stanislav Lobotka casually knocked the ball Devon Key Jersey  past him and gave Slovakia the lead in the third minute. England won the game 2-1 in the end through Manchester United striker Marcus Rashfords winner, who will now spare Harts blushes keeping the keeper away from th
