Weaver calls on Man City to BENCH Hart

Former Manchester City goalkeeper Nicky Weaver believes Joe Hart needs to be withdrawn from the frontline.

Hart was at fault in defeat at Cardiff City yesterday.

Weaver told talkSPORT: "It's not a crisis. When you get to the top of the game, like Joe Hart has, then you're there to be shot at.

"When I look back at my career I played a lot of games early on and it might have been good if someone pulled me out of the team for four or five weeks, then you could come back refreshed and recharged.

"I've got no concerns about Joe [in the long-term], he's a world class goalkeeper and every game that Man City play at the moment is in the spotlight.

"He's played a lot of football in the last couple of years. I'm sure Joe will bounce back, it's a big season for him and I'm sure he'll be great. He'll be back to his best very soon."
