Calm down. It’s not like our beloved #1 hasn’t given away plenty of easy goals during the last couple of seasons. One similar Calvert-Lewin goal springs to mind.

I actually hate that this probably means that we will see none of him for the rest of the PL season. He needs game time and confidence. Playing one game out of 10 isn’t probably gonna do that.

Romero is better than both though.

I know everyone will be out for his head, afterall many were desperate to see him make a mistake, but to be fair, Maguire put him in trouble with that pass. He was always going to have to face a duel if he needed a touch.

Glad his mistake wasn't a goalkeeping error though, but not suprising to see many use that situation to conclude that he's not ready, as if he is the first goalkeeper to be ever charged down in the Premier League.

Hope he has a better game next time.

I still don't really understand the bumper contract you gave him or why you're rotating them. I know Ancelotti likes rotating keepers too but I feel like it's a position where consistency is absolutely key. Should have kept him out on loan at a better club.
I was banging on in the summer about selling him to Everton or someone of that ilk for £25-30m or so with a generous buy-back or sell-on clause.

He's a good goalkeeper, and this isn't particularly in relation to his performance tonight -- it's more the fact that he's not going to progress as a 'keeper starting 3 of 12 league matches. It's something we do at this club - all youth players must be wrung out before we look at moving them on thinking more long term about things.

We desperately needed more signings this summer and it was clear we were hamstrung by financial issues, so why didn't we raise capital by looking to sell decent level young players who are rotational at best before they depreciate? Between Henderson, Tuanzebe, and James, I reckon we could've raised a decent amount of money. Maybe even add in Williams who was being linked to Saints.

Henderson has the right angle and view of the entire situation, all he has to do is boot the ball away
Chicken or egg. I've not watched it back but all Maguire has to do is turn out and pass the ball under no pressure. I just remember thinking why is the skipper playing the ball back to the keeper there. Not absolving him but christ this defence is shit.

What dreadful comments. Yes he made a mistake but maguire also easily at fault for putting hendo in pressure so early in the game. The authority and attitude he has is so commendable and I' m sure hes going to be our number ONE in future.

firstly Romero is not better than either.

secondly, thankfully OGS looks at the bigger picture, today’s error won’t affect him being picked.

all keepers make mistakes.

Poor for both goals but I don't think he was too bad elsewhere. Give the poor fecker a chance before we brand him the heir to Foster.

For all his mistakes I'd rather him develop now than de gea. I'd have a goalkeeper attempting to push a ball put once in a whilst from a corner than nothing what so ever.

I'm bamboozled at this thread. How are people saying we should have sold him?
He's much worse than De Gea - debatably Romero too, who we iced out for him. He has no outstanding qualities, has very questionable distribution and the summer hype would have netted us a big transfer fee to potentially reinvest.

We never sell in the hype though, so it's not surprising. It's the reason we end up with so much unsellable deadwood. We'll keep him on the bench, playing League Cup for a couple of years, before selling him for a £8m.

Not remotely exclusively based on tonight's performance either...

Horrible error. I liked him punching corners. Decent save towards the end. A few of his long clearances landed nowhere near a United player.

Sheffield going straight at him on the first corner was a bit weird considering they know him so well. Probably thought he could be pressured and forced into a mistake.

Shocking error, bad game, but our forwards and that save at the end pulled him out. Early days obviously, but a clear sign we can't just move De Gea and that is our goalkeeping solved. Which was always absurd thinking.

But Solskjaer was quick to defend his no. 1 after the match, telling BBC Sport : "It's something that happens in football once in a while if you take too long on the ball.

Thats what ole said after the Everton mistake

The first goal was all on him.

The second was a tricky one. Lindelof won the header and the ball took a late deflection which bounced it in the opposite direction. Maybe Henderson could have done better, but even so it wouldn't have been a straightforward save. I think it's very harsh to call it his fault.

Ehm, no.

There's nothing wrong with the ball being played to Henderson there. Henderson misreads the situation, has a poor first touch and just can't boot it away. Shit happens, doesn't define him as a keeper, but there's no way whatsoever that Maguire is at fault for that feck up.

I'm more concerned about what he's doing on crosses.

If you're troubled by that pass you're not good enough for this level...

He made a mistake, and thats it. He'll come back better from it. It didnt cost us

Pretty out of character from ole? What did he say after ddg made the mistake and kicked the ball at the opposition striker?
Potentially a personality thing. Henderson is said to think highly of himself and I don't think he's the type to get upset at comments like that whereas perhaps De Gea might.

Henderson wasn't glued to his line at all, ridiculous to compare him to DDG for that.
It's ludicrous to say that a keeper shouldn't be collecting, or at least punching, a ball that ends up being headed from 4 yards out, within the width of the posts.

Every pundit pointed it out. He misjudged the flight of the ball, ran into McGoldrick, retreated and ended up doing absolutely nothing.

He will learn from these mistakes. When we first got De Gea, he made a lot of mistakes and it is to be expected from a young goalkeeper. Patience is key. He showed that he's a really good keeper last season but now the question is if he can do it under pressure in an environment where the team is expected to perform every week.

I expect Henderson to come good with time.

Twice. Once from a dead ball situation. I mean, I might be old school but he's walking over to welly the thing up field and he gets waved off by Lindelof to pass it to him from the edge of the area. Again not absolving him at all, he takes the blame but the whole thing is shit defending as a whole and I would be shaking like a dog shitting peanuts having to play behind Lindelof and Maguire if it was me. You never have any clue what they're going to do including passing it around in the box. One of them just croc the fecker up field.

I think it was hopeful and optimistic rather than absurd but...can't argue with your post otherwise.

Problem is the microscope will now be out his next game and he'll have to handle that. It's not easy. As you say, good that it's not cost us points but he's going to have a pretty sleepless night over that performance.

Hope he bounces back.

That's a good point actually. Wilder said similar after Henderson made a mistake for Sheffield United last season and he responded well.

No top club allows their keeper to just “welly it upfield” any longer.

As I say, if he is to succeed at this level in the 2020’s, he’ll have to get used to that situation.
