Hart is a very good 'keeper, but the English are being silly about him.

His decision making isn't anywhere near good enough for him to stand comparison to top 'keepers.

I'd say his positioning neither, they rave about him because he makes outstanding saves due to his great diving/reflexes, that tends to mask the flaws of his game.

With that said, he's very young, positional sense and decision making are things that can certainly be improved with time.

He is a quality shot stopper.
He's great on difficult ones.

What he's not so good at is the slightly easier ones that, while too tough to catch, he should be pushing away into safe areas.

Too often he palms the ball back into dangerous areas.

I wouldn't disagree with that.

Rather like Casillas was.

It's only in the last couple of years that Casillas has really cut down on the errors caused by poor decision making and positioning.

No keeper comes close to Buffon's decision making, positioning and reading of the game.

Casillas is probably the best of the rest for overall ability, followed by Neuer.
