Barthez criticises 'inflexible' Hart following England's Euro exit

The former Manchester United goalkeeper believes England's No. 1 is not “flexible” enough and is two levels below the likes of Manuel Neuer, Thibaut Courtois and Hugo Lloris

Fabian Barthez has heavily slated Joe Hart following the England goalkeeper's poor Euro 2016 campaign.

Hart, 29, proved to be one of the Three Lions' worst performers in France, making costly errors in the 2-1 win over Wales and shock defeat against Iceland by the same scoreline.

And Barthez has since had some harsh words for Hart, who he believes is not “aggresive” enough and is two levels below his counterparts such Manuel Neuer, Thibaut Courtois and Hugo Lloris.
