cnut. Very good today. If he wasn’t playing we might have scored another.
Yeah, and they should be able to get decent money if Liverpool were able to get £15m for fecking Danny Ward.Hopefully the cnuts sell him for £30m+ and don't make the same mistake as they did with Lingard.
He is when you compare him to De Gea who is the least assertive keeper in the league and pretty dire with his feet too. No one is saying he is world class, just that he should have actually gotten gametime when the alternative is a keeper who is not suited to modern football.Wait a minute, we were told that he's assertive when coming from crosses off his line and good with his feet, apparently its what sets him and de Gea apart?
Well this isn’t true of course.His contract was nearly up.. There was some interest from Chelsea iirc.. He was told he would compete for the starting spot and he agreed to sign an extension..
He barely got a look in despite being good whenever he got a chance.. Can totally see why he wasnt happy..
If he was leaking stuff, that's a separate issue.. but I dont care if he was pissed off after what happened.. Thankfully not everyone at the club is happy to collect their wages and not worry about playing football.
Also, the leaks have barely stopped after Lingard and Henderson have left.. so who knows .. they might not have been the ones.. its a bigger issue.
Good points. I sure wanted 1.5 years ago or whenever that was over De Gea, mainly for his box presence.I am more concerned about what a player does on the pitch rather than what they say in interviews. Especially these days where interviewers are out to either 'butter up the player' (as on MUTV) or get them to say something controversial.
I would have played Henderson instead of DeGea, from the beginning, simply because the lad is 'on the up' and is more confident. DeGea's best form is shown when he has a settled 2 CB's in front of him so he knows what to expect from them and they know about his 'peculiarities'.
If ETH is going to rotate CB's for different games, then expect to see less confident goalkeeping from De Gea.
Might not be good enough for us, but for this season could be exactly what we need.De Gea 2021/22: 8 high claims (for the whole season)
Henderson 2022/23: 9 high claims (in 3 games)

De Gea isn't even Premier League standard anymore.forest level keeper. DDG is better
You’d do well to find more than three posts anywhere online in which Henderson is described as a ‘ball-playing keeper’. A strange conclusion.Yeah. He's done nothing but hoof it aimlessly to Everton players or into the stands, but we'll still have people banging on in here about how he's a "ball-playing keeper". The lad is an absolute myth.
I made that comment precisely because somebody had already said it today:You’d do well to find more than three posts anywhere online in which Henderson is described as a ‘ball-playing keeper’. A strange conclusion.
Ahh, I see, but surely he has to take some blame for not identifying that we needed a ball-playing goalkeeper, just as he identified that we needed a left-footed cente back.

It is, of course. Minus some strange goalkeeping towards the back end of a Liverpool defeat, which is all people seem to be able to hang on to it seems, Henderson was in good form at the conclusion of the 20-21 run in. We conceded fewer goals with him in the side and he was regularly praised for being proactive. Then he got injured and then he got Covid. Here we are.Well this isn’t true of course.
That comment doesn’t necessarily suggest that Henderson is one.I made that comment precisely because somebody had already said it today:
Look at what he's quoting. That's exactly what he's saying.That comment doesn’t necessarily suggest that Henderson is one.
I can’t be arsed. But if he’s saying it then he is wrong. My point still stands: there is no narrative at all to suggest Henderson is a ball-playing goalkeeper. He’s wooden and keeps it simple. He has a wonderful throw, mind.Look at what he's quoting. That's exactly what he's saying.
He’s had more than the one strange moment.It is, of course.

That's the thing. Even if Henderson is not the long term solution we should have waited with the guy who looks like a professional keeper at least.Might not be good enough for us, but for this season could be exactly what we need.
And he's the best paid keeper in the world, which makes it even worse. It sums up the club.That's just depressing.
He did. Less than De Gea mind, despite being far less experienced.He’s had more than the one strange moment.
Why are you quoting me? Nowhere did I mention Henderson was a ball-playing goalkeeper.I made that comment precisely because somebody had already said it today:
You quoted a bunch of people talking about Henderson and said that Ten Hag has made a mistake letting him go because he needs a ball playing keeper.Why are you quoting me? Nowhere did I mention Henderson was a ball-playing goalkeeper.
It seems like you only remember the good and forget the bad. Maybe because people only make videos about the good stuff.It is, of course.

They seem to save individual clips of his errors (of which there are less than from de Gea) and bring them out to "prove" their point, even when every single statistic and metric is against them. It's the weirdest **** I've ever seen.Some of the posters on here seem very invested in Henderson not doing well for some reason.
Yeah not sure why we sanctioned the loan without a replacement in first, tell him to hold fire until we get sorted, now we are short and have shot ourselves in the foot and will get rinsed for a replacement.That's the thing. Even if Henderson is not the long term solution we should have waited with the guy who looks like a professional keeper at least.

Yes mate. Disagreeing with the crowd of people who are pushing the idea that Manchester United should be starting a bottom half/Championship quality keeper is a ****.They seem to save individual clips of his errors (of which there are less than from de Gea) and bring them out to "prove" their point, even when every single statistic and metric is against them.

Are they? They've made a good start and they're still spending big.Not surprised he's doing well at a relegation battling club.
They're still a club facing relegation.Are they? They've made a good start and they're still spending big.
Starting instead of DDG is not a ****, it is common sense.Yes mate. Disagreeing with the crowd of people who are pushing the idea that Manchester United should be starting a bottom half/Championship quality keeper is a ****.
