HART CAN’T FEEL THE LOVE

- BY DARREN LEWIS

SLAVEN BILIC believes Joe Hart is not loved enough when he plays for England.

The West Ham boss (right) has thrown his weight behind his keeper after Hart was again criticised during the internatio­nal break.

Hart, on loan from Manchester City, has kept clean sheets in three of his last four games for the Hammers and has helped England to qualify for next summer’s World Cup. But the 30-year-old (right) was pinpointed by ITV’s panel after almost giving away a penalty in England’s win over Slovenia at Wembley last week. Bilic said: “I think you don’t appreciate him. I watched the game against Slovenia and he was man of the match but you didn’t have that feeling from the studio.

“He has become an easy target and is taking the bullets. The guy is brilliant. He is a great profession­al.”
