In what other ways do goalkeepers communicate with their defenders? Nods and winks?

This is like when the plague used to break out in a mediaeval village.
The villagers would say "who's doing this?" and "whose fault is this? Who's to blame?"
Then someone would say "Well, there's that old woman who lives in that cottage on the edge of the village.
She looks like a witch. And she has a wart. And a black cat. It might be her."
"YES!! YES!! She's a witch!! Burn her! Burn her!"

There'd be no reason to it at all. That's rather what's happening now with Hart.

Except he hasn't got a wart.

Look at the stats and ask yourself which of those keepers communicate confidence to his back four with his actions - the non-verbal communication...?

The weird thing is though, when Heaton was vocalising the **** out of matches we were in an almost identical position to where we are now.
No. We were 1 place higher and playing with much more confidence. That is mainly down to the fact that Tom's 2nd cousin once bought some Amber leaf in Barnaby Fudge.

You’re clutching. You and I have absolutely no idea how much confidence the keeper ‘communicates’ to the back four and the stats do literally nothing to prove either way. I’d be amazed if the defenders didn’t have confidence in Hart due to his almost flawless start to the season.

I also think it’s strange that you think that the defenders’ confidence in the keeper could be the main contributing factor to our drop in form.

Unfortunately nobody can make any kind of negatively perceived comment about Hart without being accused of some kind of parochial xenophobia.

Not clutching, though if I was it would still be more that Joe Hart... ;)

It’s my observations, what I see when I watch us play. It aligns with those stats.

No. The rest of the team, from front to back are all performing at a lower standard than last season. It’s obvioualy easier for people to try and simplify the reason for why we have dropped off by trying to pin the blame on one player - it’s then easier to find a solution. But Joe Hart is not the reason why we are where we are. In fact, I’d say he is the one player in the entire squad who had perhaps performed above what we would expect of him.

Hart could let in 8 and he would still retain his place. Defence is shocking and sadly Hart doesn't organise.

But don't worry Hart fans he will still be behind the sticks when Liverpool go into double figures on Wednesday.

Hart will remain a saint.

Would Heaton's inclusion have led to the fans being treated to a shot within the first 65 minutes today?

Anyone seen / heard the 606 caller about Hart and Robbie Savage's response?

You read the **** about hart been the problem and then to hear it on national radio is just quite frankly embarrassing.

Savage, an ex pro of a number of seasons in the top flight, didn't entertain it.

Let’s be honest about it though if, like Savage, you’re basing your judgement of Joe Hart on the MOTD coverage you’ll also think he’s been superb by keeping us in games with his magnificent saves. You won’t see from the highlights the subtleties that are different between what he does and what our 2 previous keepers did. Those of us who watch the full match, and see those differences can be judgemental about what is difererent, Savage can not.

If the same caller had praised Hart for keeping us in games I reckon Savage would have countered by saying something about how many goals he's let in. The whole phone-in thing is a nonsense.

The main problem is we have chose to have black on both of our away kits. Any time we've had even a touch of black on our away kit we've been relegated. Can't believe the club have done this.

Late to this but the answer to the OP is No.

The problem is that we have f all in midfield. They offer nothing defensively, nothing attackingwise and nothing creative.

Lowton and Gudmundsson are our only chance of creating anything at all.

I’m 41, overweight and haven’t played for 10 years, but I reckon I could play midfield for any of our opponents with the way we are currently playing and look like Pirlo.

The defenders should know what to do by now. That isn't Hart's fault. If certain players are giving their all because their mate isn't playing then they need letting go. Nobody except the players and staff know what's going on but there Needs to be some serious arse kicking going on.

Okay. But we also got relegated and didn't win a game whilst wearing it. I maintain that black is an unlucky colour for us.

There is only one way to solve this ongoing 'debate'

Play Heaton for a few games and see what happens
