Was weak coming for a cross but couldn't moan at his performance.
We don't score the third goal with De Gea playing. He holds on to that ball instead of launching the counter.
I wonder if respect for what he has done here is keeping De Gea in the team. Obviously not correct but it could be why they aren’t quite willing to bin him off yet as number one.
Henderson deserves an extended run for sure.
I think any credit in the bank he had, was used up a while ago, and as for being an influence in the dressing room, he is a senior player but he struggles to influence his own box.I certainly think he’d earned a bit of slack for being brilliant for 4 or 5 seasons but this is his 3rd season in a row where he’s making regular errors that are costing his team and he’s not exactly making game saving changes either.
I imagine he’s a big influence in the dressing room senior player coming up to 10 seasons at the club so he would be well respected but surely even they must be getting on his case.
My assumption is Ole isn’t totally convinced by Henderson he’s got that Joe Hart/Jordan Pickford over enthusiastic vibe to him which I think worries managers. De Gea is cool and calm he doesn’t make rash decision and gamble whereas I think Henderson has that in his game.
Agreed. They need to see what they have over a number of games with Henderson to determine if they need to act in the summer. De Gea isn't going to be the answer for them long term.De Gea should be dropped, and henderson given a chance to prove we do not need to buy another keeper in the summer.
Left a comment in the thread regarding our CB partnership, a brave commanding keeper in our 6yd box is what we need, would help CB's but DdG won't provide that.I think any credit in the bank he had, was used up a while ago, and as for being an influence in the dressing room, he is a senior player but he struggles to influence his own box.
I don't get the argument that De Gea is cool and calm which is why he is preferred to Henderson. The cool and calm approach resulted in inaction vs Everton and also against Leipzig last season. I prefer my keepers to fight for the team even if it means there's a possibility they may get hurt. De Gea is too soft and the opposition know this.

Doubt we’d get much for De Gea now his forms dipped and he’s on mega wages if they want him out they’ll be giving him away cheap or out on loan paying half his wages.Henderson claimed a few balls today that had me asking if De Gea would have came for them.
I think he has to keep the jersey and De Gea needs to win it back. Then again, I do think De Gea's time is up at OT and Henderson should be No 1 next season. We will get a decent fee for him and we will have a No1 who commands his box better which in turn will help our defence as a whole.
Which in itself tells you there is something wrong.I do agree time for a new number 1.

We would never have dared make such statements during the Schmeichel and Van Der Sar era's
I think your being a bit harsh on Hendersons performance IDFD. Clean sheet, no errors, good commandment of box, couple of decent saves, granted ones he should make, and a great quick ball out which led to a goal.
Maybe the defence feels safer with him in there too.
If he puts in 4 or 5 clean sheets I don't think you can drop him.
