Nasri pins his faith in Hart

MANCHESTER City playmaker Samir Nasri says tomorrow’s early kick–off against Everton offers Joe Hart the perfect opportunity to bounce back from his latest mishaps.

Hart was at fault for two of the goals City conceded in their 3–1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

The 26 year old has had an indifferent year, with mistakes against the Germans merely the latest in a series of errors for City and England.

Nasri is in no doubt his colleague will recover and has backed him to shine against Everton.

The Frenchman said: "I think that when you are a top player like Joe, you don't have problems with confidence.

"Sometimes you can have a rough patch, but he knows everyone is behind him at the club.

"The good thing for Joe and the rest of us is that we play on Saturday at 12.45pm, so we don't need to think too long about what happened."
