Above United?Found his level
Above United?Found his level
Someone put " Henderson looks better than any version we've seen from De Gea since 17/18", which I assume was more to do with his shot-stopping abilities and dominance in the box, rather than his ball-playing abilities. I then replied it may have been a mistake by ten Hag to get rid of him. Again, not because of his ball-playing abilities but because it's safe to say that even De Gea's shot-stopping hasn't been great for a while now.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.
I didn't call anything a "cult", that was sarcasm responding to what the other guy was saying about people who disagree with him.Starting instead of DDG is not a cult, it is common sense.
Please point out any poster claiming he’s world class or some incredible talent…the simple rationale is DDG has become so poor AND isn’t a tactical fit, we might as well start anyone over him and Henderson was our No2.
No one has any individual clips, or videos, otherwise posters here might actually remember the mistakes. These are from his performance thread.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 cult I've ever seen.

Yes that's what I thought when I saw the highlights as he was caught a bit in no man's land.Tweet

Henderson has previous of this type of situation already, so if he is following or knows about this aspect of his keeping, he's gonna still have to improve on it because it's not working yet.I hope Dean is professional enough to be following John Harrison
To be fair, that approach did work later on for him when Gordon tried to chip him when he was stood tall, but yeah he seems a bit erratic with his decisions to come out (even if it is of course preferable to the De Gea approach of being planted on your line, before anybody chimes in with the comparison again).He is off his line comically early.
Which might work if he was a man mountain like Schmeichel or Neuer, but he's a tiny little thing.
Over De Gea? Most definitely, Henderson is far more proactive, confident with his feet,better with his feet and sweeps and pushes his defensive line forward. All things that a 'top' club require from there GK all things De Gea isn't.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 cult.
. This thread is unbelievable. So many myths and bs at the same time.Him benched at United has been a criminal act

Not a Top G, but surely better than ddg, facts. This thread is unbelievable. So many myths and bs at the same time.
Henderson got his chance (run of games) and that time showed;
1) how average he is in shot stopping
2) how bad he is in one on one situations
3) how shit he is in positioning
Also that period broke all myths about him. He is NOT commanding keeper, he is NOT good on penalties (Boro game) and he is NOT good passer.
Henderson is exactly where he needs to be. Average gk in average PL team.
Now carry on with this delusion regarding him.
I am going to create a thread about Lingard and rewrite history
" Best amc that this club had"
And Lingard is not top amc but is surely better amc than Bruno Fernandez.Not a Top G, but surely better than ddg, facts

Yeh. He keeps smacking his doubters face.cnut. Very good today. If he wasn’t playing we might have scored another.
Neuer is 6'4, Henderson is 6'2, hardly that much smaller.He is off his line comically early.
Which might work if he was a man mountain like Schmeichel or Neuer, but he's a tiny little thing.
Wiki stats dont mean much, he is obviously much smaller, just look at them both in goal. He's probably 6 ft 1 but he has a very small frame and holds himself poorly.Neuer is 6'4, Henderson is 6'2, hardly that much smaller.
Yeah. At a club that's currently nine places above usFound his level

And Dutch.With the way we’re going I would expect our next goalkeeper to be 5’5”.
I always remember Costel Pantillimon at City. Stood at 6”7 or so, whenever he dived he suddenly became 4”10Wiki stats dont mean much, he is obviously much smaller, just look at them both in goal. He's probably 6 ft 1 but he has a very small frame and holds himself poorly.
Honestly, when I’m in the situation of trying to shoot like that in one v one situation, I would rather my goalkeeper not rushing out but stay deep so I can have more space to aim my shot.Tweet

No.forest level keeper. DDG is better
It's a pretty weak fail comp. Even from the 'good' video, it was pretty clear he was launching the ball long a lot, so doesn't really add much.
Overall average to good, which as 90% of people in this thread is saying is still better than De Gea.
This is true. DeGea is bad… really badNot a Top G, but surely better than ddg, facts
still has more touches than DDG and Mctommy combined.
What has your keeper got to do with it if you are the one shooting?Honestly, when I’m in the situation of trying to shoot like that in one v one situation, I would rather my goalkeeper not rushing out but stay deep so I can have more space to aim my shot.
Yep, he has the right attitude for a top keeper but none of the ability.Henderson reminds me of Joe Hart. Good at some things, a bit flappy, a bit error-prone, thinking he's better than he really is.
Im not a keeper expert to answer what's the right thing to do or what's the wrong thing to do but I can share my opinion based on what I experienced about which situation I would rather facing if the goalkeeper is my opponent. If I want to have better chance to score, I don't want the opposition keeper to close the gaps/space. If the keeper stays deep means the keeper allows me to have more time and space to think, which makes it easier of me to aim my shot. This happened many times to me.What has your keeper got to do with it if you are the one shooting?
I understand that but your keeper is at the other end of the pitch defending your goal!Im not a keeper expert to answer what's the right thing to do or what's the wrong thing to do but I can share my opinion based on what I experienced about which situation I would rather facing if the goalkeeper is my opponent.
