David Seaman confident Joe Hart will bounce back from debut to forget

Former England goalkeeper David Seaman expects Joe Hart and Claudio Bravo to put their shaky starts for their new clubs quickly behind them.

England goalkeeper Hart joined Torino on loan from Manchester City last month after he lost his place to Willy Caballero at the start of the season and then found himself third choice after coach Pep Guardiola signed Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.

The 29-year-old had a debut to forget for Torino with the Serie A club losing 2-1 at Atalanta on Sunday, but Seaman insists Hart can still cut it at the top level.

"Joe is a quality goalkeeper," Seaman told Sky Sports News HQ. "He didn't become a bad goalkeeper overnight or by making a couple of mistakes.  

"I know he made a bit of a mistake on his debut, but that's what happens with us, you make mistakes and it's how you recover.

"He's a quality goalkeeper and he will bounce back. I'm sure Torino will be very happy with him."

Despite Hart falling out of favour at City this season, he remains England manager Sam Allardyce's first-choice goalkeeper and Seaman believes his move to Italy will add a different dimension to his game. 

"He's getting game-time now and to play in Italy is fantastic," Seaman added. "When I was playing I would have loved to have tried a different culture, a different county and a different way of playing football.

"It will be great for Joe. As long as he comes back for England and he's still on good form, I'm sure he will be fine."

Chile international Bravo, who has replaced Hart as  City No 1, was also criticised after faltering in his first match for the Citizens in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Manchester United.

"He was very nervous," said former Arsenal goalkeeper Seaman. "It was his debut and it was in a Manchester derby - good luck.

"He got away with it in a way because they still won, but he will get better than that. His distribution is fantastic but people think Joe's was bad and it wasn't. 

"With Bravo - welcome to the Premier League. This is what it is like and it takes some getting used to.

"He has great ball control, but first of all you have to be able to save shots and deal with the aspects of goalkeeping, so that's what he has to do first."
