Slovakia v England: Joe Hart has a horror start for Three Lions, with Twitter reacting brutally


JOE HART has had a tough summer, no two ways about it.

First of all he endured a shaky spell at this summer’s European Championships in France – culminating in an embarrassing 2-1 loss at the hands of Iceland.

Then he was told by new Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola that he had no future at the Etihad Stadium.

Hart enjoyed a little luck as he scored a move to Italy to link up with Serie A side Torino, assuring himself first team football for another season.

But then he celebrated with a trip to the casino, losing thousands of pounds playing roulette…

And now, in the present day he has played through a rough half an hour of football against Slovakia in Sam Allardyce‘s first game in charge – a World Cup qualifier, no less.

With one of his first touches of the ball, Hart managed to scuff a clearance straight to an opposition attacker.

Fortunately for the Three Lions nothing came of it, but with the spotlight fully on the ex-Shrewsbury stopper, 29, it was a blunder he could ill-afford.

Naturally, the ‘comedians’ of Twitter cracked their fingers and fired up their keyboards… Here are some of the best tweets.

Spoiler alert, there’s a theme of ‘Pep: I told you so’…
