It would transform our defence if they had a hungry, raring to go, keeper behind them.I genuinely believe you can look at a player in their eyes and see what they are about. Dean Henderson’s say that he’s ready, hungry for success, committed. Every time he plays I think “yeah he’ll go through a player to get the ball”. De Gea, for as good as he’s been over the years, does not have that same look about him. We need a full first 11 that has that fire.
And what does that fact he is still picked first, tell you about Ole? Just this years, his reluctance or inability to throw himself at the ball has cost us goals. He should have been benched for a while now as he is way past his peak.He's continuously let Ole down over the past 2 years. He should have no mercy in dropping him to the bench.
Sorry but that's utter nonsense, he's been poor for a while now and has been making really basic errors for a few seasons now (DCL goal last season, his disaster show at the Nou Camp, dropping the ball into his net against Watford, and many, many more).DDG is the least of our problems. He might not be the sensation he was a few years ago when properly motivated, but he still does a fine job and makes saves only he can make every other game. I would be fine with replacing him with someone spectacular waiting in the wings, but Henderson certainly ain’t thay guy. Let’s stop rewarding mediocrity, Henderson made a lot of mistakes last year that would have been highlighted much more at United. Being a GK for Sheff United is another world compared, much easier task.
Yeah why didn't Ole keep faith in Deano and play him for a second game in a rowI'd play Henderson now as well, while I was far from convinced about him last season and going into this there is something new and refreshing about seeing him in the team and oppose to Romero we know he's got eyes on being more than just a backup
Indeed.When Henderson has played recently, I've felt more comfortable and his distribution from the back looks good
He never recovered from that Ronaldo hat trickHe's been drunk since the World Cup.
Completely agree.We need a refurbishment, which we're having. De gea is apart of the old furniture and regardless of how comfortable that furniture is, IT NEEDS TO GO FOR US TO MOVE ON FROM THE PAST.
While De Gea hasn't made many clear errors, and has made a few impressive saves (Callum Wilson at Newcastle), his stats in the PL this season are horrendous:I think he's been quite good this year and gets no blame for that 3rd goal from me, unless he called for Maguire to leave it (which i doubt he did, would be idiotic). Last year was shit yeah, but he's been fine this season. Henderson definitely the future, and they're at a bit of an awkward age gap. L
Woof. I knew he'd regressed but didn't realize it was that bad.While De Gea hasn't made many clear errors, and has made a few impressive saves (Callum Wilson at Newcastle), his stats in the PL this season are horrendous:
Out of the 20 keepers with the most appearances for their team, he ranks:
- 19th for save percentage in the PL this season (53.8%). Lowest is Ryan of Brighton 50.0% then ahead of De Gea you've got Patricio of Wolves and Martinez of Villa 62.9%, another four keepers between 66% and 69%. 9 keepers between 70% and 75%. Lloris 81.3% and Mendy 83.3%. Last season Kepa Arrizabalaga was at 54.5%
- 16th relative to post-shot expected goals. Currently - 1.0 (so conceded one more goal than expected from the shots that were on target). 12 keepers have conceded fewer goals than expected. Sam Johnstone top at + 3.8
- 20th for taking crosses. 1.6%. 3 keepers currently above 10%
- 16th for sweeper keeper. 0.35 per game.
I don't know how you assess passing from the stats available. He may be performing better at this than some other keepers.
