People can’t stop taking the piss out of Joe Hart’s latest goalkeeping howler

Homesport

What should have been a fairly innocent loan deal has become one of the goalkeeping sagas of the season.

When Claudio Bravo drops a howler, Joe Hart is all that anyone can talk about. If Bravo misjudges a cross, it's "Joe Hart would have caught that." If Bravo gets sent off, it's "Joe Hart must be laughing now." And, apparently, Bravo's name also crops right up whenever the England international cocks up. Having enjoyed a relatively uneventful start to life in Italy, Hart came up with one of the worst mistakes of his Torino career on Wednesday night. https://twitter.com/tancredipalmeri/status/791360748710748161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The 'keeper, on loan from Manchester City, came out trying to close down the onrushing Mauro Icardi and, having seemingly reached the ball first, Hart bizarrely parried it directly against the striker rather than simply take it into his grasp. It was a strange sequence of play, and one that resulted in Torino falling behind to Inter. But at least we learned that the Bravo/Hart dynamic also works when the latter makes a mess of things. https://twitter.com/Vibetech_/status/791359946310967296 https://twitter.com/Sam_wood96/status/791360943439634433 https://twitter.com/wynnyesta/status/791361250399846400 https://twitter.com/danohagan/status/791361035215237121 https://twitter.com/SGF96/status/791361363079794688 https://twitter.com/OfflineMartinez/status/791361499994415104 https://twitter.com/EIFantasmita/status/791361669041647618 https://twitter.com/GeoffLacey91/status/791361738952306688 https://twitter.com/___mavis/status/791363172967911424 https://twitter.com/andyuptherae/status/791365899601207296 https://twitter.com/Gurdev_AV/status/791365635930525696 Maybe put in a pin in Hart returning from loan just yet. Of course, as one person puts it, we doubt Joe is too fussed about the form of Bravo anyway... https://twitter.com/Ankaman616/status/788832462642249728 You can catch up on the latest episode of JOE's Football Friday Live right here…
