What's better for the team is to have a goalkeeper that can organize and control his defence, claim high balls, who is comfortable leaving his goal area to sweep, recieve and pass the ball.
Instead what we have is a guy who sticks to his line to make saves, which he is really good at. But he doesn't communicate with his defence, shouts away at balls dropping 3 yards from him and retreats to the safety of his line by default. Also doesn't really sweep and is not comfortable receiving, controlling or passing the ball around the back. Not to mention his mid and long range kicking is pretty awful.
When DDG, is finally replaced by a keeper who can do all those things. People will finally realise how much of a hindrance he actually is to the team.
Absolutely agree with this and have done since the day he signed for the club (after a pretty shocking season for Atletico Madrid where he conceded 53 league goals).
It's nothing personal against the lad, it's down to the simple fact that there is much much more to goal-keeping than stopping shots and when it comes to the other aspects of the position he is embarrassingly bad at them.
How anyone can watch a Utd match and not notice the negative impact his flaws have on the team is beyond me, it's blindingly obvious.
Weather you rate Henderson or not (or Romero before him), the fact is that, overall we looked a much much better side when he played and the stats/results back this up.
For further proof of this, look no further than the Spanish National side, they went from being the dominant force in International football before De Gea was their number one to absolute garbage when he was their number one.
Now they've dropped him and their back as one of the top sides again, coincidence? For me, no.
