    You have to look at the position of the goalkeeper though. De Gea for example would have saved most of those goals, as his positional play is a lot better. Hart is always starting in the wrong position, so when the balls are played through into a 1 on 1 situation he's not in the right position to apply pressure to the attacker.

    Wayne Hennessy has had even worse clowns infront of him, but he's had a lot more success, he's actually faced a lot more 1 on 1s yet has done a lot better than Hart at stopping them.

    he has a 7 man defence in front of him, in fact he's had a big defence put in front of him ever since he conceded 9 goals against Leicester and MK dons.
    I would add that most West Ham fans don't see Hart as our best keeper at all and can't understand why he dropped him over Randolph, it's a bit of a bone of contention and one of the reasons the fans are turning against him.

    That 7 man defence plus the 3 attackers have scored 10 goals in 3 games this season. Just saying.

    If Butland had avoided the long injury spell, he'd already be England's number one in my eyes, think he's a superb keeper.

    Pickford is looking better and better though, wouldn't surprise me if he's the number one sooner rather than later.

    A 7 man defence? <laugh>

    10 goals Man Utd have scored this season, more than any other team so far.

    De Gea just so you know has saved 5 of 5 shots at his goal.
