The England goalkeeper has been at fault for two goals in four games, putting his World Cup chances further into question
Joe Hart's mistake in West Ham's 1-1 Premier League draw with Stoke City came as a surprise to manager David Moyes.
Hart failed to gather a shot from Xherdan Shaqiri and was second to the rebound as substitute Peter Crouch pounced to put Stoke in front at London Stadium on Monday.
Andy Carroll's volley salvaged a point for Moyes' men but Hart will be in the spotlight after a second mistake in four games since being restored to the West Ham team.
While the goalkeeper impressed in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea, Hart was at fault for one of Burnley's goals in a 3-0 home defeat last month.
Hart appears set to be included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup despite playing second fiddle to Adrian for much of the Premier League season.
And Moyes accepted he did not expect Hart - on loan from Manchester City - to be at fault as relegation-threatened Stoke took the lead.
"He had two very similar shots in the first half," Moyes told a news conference. "So it was a surprise that it spilled out. If you're a goalkeeper, it's going to happen [mistakes].
"I said after he made great saves at Chelsea 'well done'. Just like tonight, I'll tell him he should have done better."
West Ham have taken five points from their last three matches and sit seven points above the relegation zone, but Moyes is not convinced his side are assured of a place in next season's Premier League.
"If you get to 40 points, then it'll be close," the Scot said. "We want 40."

ARE YOU ENGLISH?You are a shame.Football is a RELIGION in England not a playground for filthy rich sheiks to flaunt their ill-gotten riches .You should be proud when ENGLAND won the WORLD CUP but not the CHAMPION CUP with only a sprinkling of a few English-born players.How many English players featured everytime they won a match?
Calm down, how many England players are playing in any of the top 5 league in the world?? England fans are the cause of their problems, and stop talking trash that football is a religion in England, also you don't have an idea how much foreign investments in stops has helped England economy in general, you have no reason to hate city but give them the support, you don't need to be a fan, city would definitely want to have enough English players but the cost and and they all lack support. Look at sterling do you guys think you are harming city by booing him?? definitely you are just destroying your player. if he flops city can sign any world class player to replace him so you guys should grow up and stop being cunts

You sound rather pathetic. When was hart brought in?? hart took over another keepers place in the team so it's not new. is sterling, walker Delph not English players?? is stones not English?? city have some English players but guess what they virtually get booed in every away match do you think that's fair?? Until the foolish England fans try and stop supporting clubs and start supporting their players they will have no legend. All they have is over hyped average players with inflated market values
How often do you see those English players played together in the present EPL matches?

Hart's case is simple, you become who you associate with over time. When he was at City he was regarded as one of the best, but since he started playing for mediocre clubs he has become a mediocre. Lesson watch who you hang out with.

Joe Hart was great when he was in MC.Until some petro-sheiks came to MC to make it their playthings and meddle with English football.In today's MC team can any true loyal old supporters tell their sons and daughters how many of the eleven players on the field IS English or UK born?Loyalty and pride in English football tradition has gone south.This will eventually meant the 'death of football legends in the whole of England.To Gardiola he don't care two-hoots about tradition.He will lead MC to two more EPL titles and wait for the next highest bidder for his services.HE HAS NO LOYALTY TO ANYONE.HE IS ONLY LOYAL TO MONEY.

joe hart has been the best english goal keeper this season nobody even close and this is even when he has had a slightly off season so shows how good and ahead he is of the rest. if he dose not end up as number 1 keeper at the world cup than southgate will need sacking. the stats read for them selfs this season stays in all comps hart has had the most clean sheets in fewer matches this season than all the other English keepers

That's not the first time this season he has given away a goal like that! Thank God he won't be at West Ham next season - I hope! Priority signings next summer MUST be a new goalkeeper, a right-sided full-back, at least one central defender ... and maybe a defensive midfielder.

Hart was right to leave City. He should retire.
