His worst game but let’s see how he responds next time. I think Ole is right to play him in the PL games to see if he’s actually got enough about him to be long-term #1. No idea what he was doing on the 4th goal.

They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Welcome to United lad
Not that I expect him to save that 4th goal but where was he? Comedy gold from him today. Just please don't start him in the final
If De Gea had made the same mistakes this season as Henderson has he would have been shot for it.
It was like, “here you go Salah, just pop it in to my right, there’s a good lad.”
He looked incredibly nervous without Maguire. His number one position has never been a certainty for me and definite question marks about him now.
I agree
This was rubbish goalkeeping in fourth goal. He literally opened it for Salah to shoot wherever he wants.
Can’t remember a more baffling goalkeeping decision all season than that Salah goal.
Of the all the goals, he decides to stay back for the last goal ? I mean seriously?
Was this the first time he didn’t have Maguire at the back with him? That probably didn’t help.
Has a lot of learning to do
Strange display today and throws up the question are we doing the right thing? Whole team missed Maguire today
He lost his marbles for the fourth. Completely messed up his positioning. Not that he would have definitely saved it but it was absolutely shambolic the way he was placed for the fourth.
In fairness I think Ole is doing the right thing by giving him a chance. There’s no chance we can afford a top keeper, so we might as well find out now who we’re going to trust next year.
he chaperoned the ball in for Salah. Bizarre bit of goalkeeping.Looks almost photoshopped it's that bad.
Absolute horror show. Near taibi levels. Lots of talk but so far not the goods to back it up
You can't really blame him for two of them, the close range ones. Obvious error from him from the shot and bad positioning on the last one but to be honest we went all in and Matic horrendously caused a one on one situation where I'd always fancy Salah over any keeper. Could have made it harder for Salah but I'd blame Matic more than Henderson tbh.
He was poor, and just seems to me to lack the X-factor that a goalkeeper for a top team has.
Credit to him for stopping the Jota volley and the Mane 1 v 1 - but we shouldn't turn a blind eye to the terrible handling which led to Liverpool's 3rd goal. When Salah raced through for the 4th goal, I had no confidence in him even getting near to the shot. Admittedly a goalkeeper is disadvantaged there but we've seen De Gea stop many of those in his time here.
As a point of comparison, De Gea would have been crucified on this forum for the errors Dean made today. Both goalkeepers aren't perfect, but I wouldn't trust Dean to start in the Europa League final over De Gea.

yeah I was watching that and thinking he had something up his sleeve but he just stood there, frozen
Also, felt like he was spilling shots everywhere
He's a poor man's Pickford and I'm saying poor because Pickford has the ability to actually pull off some world-class saves.
next time is when? On merit, his season has ended today.
Only playing because he came from the famed youth academy. That and to save some cost. Brilliant corporate move this is. Just go and sign a top GK and let one of ddg or Hendo go. Solid PL keepers don't make this errors so consistently. Its comical.
The experiment is coming to an end I think. So many basic flaws in his technique it's untrue. Never in a million years is he the answer.
Ha same... When he wasn't at the edge of his box I thought he must he planning something extraordinary here.yeah I was watching that and thinking he had something up his sleeve but he just stood there, frozen
Turns out that extraordinary thing was showing Salah the goal.
Absolutely. Not solely his fault, but he still could’ve done better
Wait, they'll loan De Gea paying a big part of his wages to give him the spot. Well...
Dea Gea is shit now too. No need saying he would have done this or that.
We have a keeping problem but RW, CDM, and CB are more important.

Awful game. Lot of errors. You’d think he was on thin ice now. The positioning on the last goal was bordering on bizarre.
Absolutey rubbish 2nd half 100%, he was hung out to dry by the team to a degree you cannot give Liverpool good chances time and again like they did.
But let's not get hyperbole on this De Gea has cost us recently in big games as well, his performance in the cup semi final against Chelsea was as egregious as this by Henderson

Watched plenty of him for Sheff Utd, have now seen quite a bit of him for United. Haven't seen a thing to suggest he's good enough to be Manchester United's goalkeeper.
We need a new goalkeeper.
He’s not up to it
Now we know De Gea is better for sure.
I'm desperate for him to make it, but my belief that he will is definitely fading.
I just watched an interview with him this morning, saying "one million percent" he'll be United and England #1. For someone so confident, he looked shit scared tonight.

He's been palming shots into danger basically every single game. Tonight it finally cost him. It's been coming.
The last goal was maybe the worst positioning I've seen from a keeper at the top level.
He's the goalkeeping version of Bailly.

Another loan? Doesn’t look ready does he
He's not the answer to the De Gea question. He has his advantages over Big Cave, but No. 1 in his place, he's not.
