Villareal would have won in normal time had Henderson started. He was in goal against Sheffield United at Old Trafford and United conceded 3 goals at home to a regelated team.
Stop mentioning Henderson in the league of brilliant goalkeepers. He’s low quality. If he’s not born English, he would be selling newspapers at Baker Street. I can name 50 goalkeepers better than him in Europe.
He’s shit!
DDG at 19 years of age saving a Diego Milito’s penalty in the SuperCup in 2010. Milito was fresh from conquering Europe with Treble and De Gea humiliated him.
This is who you are comparing to Henderson?
Such disrespect!
I'm comparing this current Degea with Henderson not De Gea of 1946........ Maybe we should resign Vidic and Ferdinard since you want to rely on past glories.
Show me DDG pk stat
Henderson is a bum? The same GK that relegated DDG to Europa league and Cup games ?? The same gk that was targeted by Chelsea, Spurs, Bayern Munich last summer?
Even OLE confessed that he made a mistake by keeping Henderson on the bench.
Illimitable: Bruno Fernandes should be fined by the club for allowing Villareal to take the first penalty.
Bruno won the coin toss. It then follows that United should take the first penalty and Villareal would choose which side of the pitch to take the penalty.
Villareal chose their end of the pitch where their fans were which is a small advantage. Yet, Bruno stupidly allowed them to also have the advantage of going first.
Statistics already proved the first team to take penalties win the shootout 60% of the time cos the second team is always playing catch up which adds to the tension.
I heard even the referee was surprised that Bruno chose to go 2nd. What sort of stupid rookie mistake is that one?
Your weak attempt to protect De Gea won't fly.
Even if that match was played at Old Trafford, the PK result will stay same as far as it's DDG.
Bruno decision affected DDG only, the same GK that conceded his last 40 Pk for both club and country.
Statistics already proved that a goal keeper with 50% success rate in saving penalties (Henderson) will do better than a goal keeper with less than 15% success rate.
Illimitable: He’s the only GK that can displace De Gea with my blessings.
All those Henderson talks replacing DDG is just BS. Henderson hasn’t done enough to replace DDG. If you remove the British hype, Henderson isn’t even better than Pickford. ]
Pickford better than Henderson to you.
What Henderson achieved with Sheffield United last season, Pickford can't smell it with Everton.
I would have Nick Pope of Burnley before Henderson
29 years old Nick Pope that is useless with anything related to using his leg(kicks and saves).
eph12: No. You just won't catch me lamenting over it. We have lost finals and we will lose more. No big deal there. It's how we lost that matters to me
patrickmuf: I guess City going after Grealish means Foden, Sterling, KDB and the rest are bad...Una go misrepresent person argument start to argue against wetin you understand even if your inability to comprehend a straight forward post is questionable...
eph12: Where I disagree with you is the state if this team.
I see how winning the FA cup last season was important to their winning mentality. No wonder they didn't collapse this season
eph12: many chords actually. this season you're celebrating a trophy, next season you are struggling to enter top 6. That's not what I want to see for this team, maybe some just want to shout up ManU
Panther7: Juventus have sacked their coach/legend Pirlo when will United have the courage to do the same to that Scandinavian?
No need to sack OLE, we are progressing.
eph12: We don't need to compete on all fronts at the moment. We crawl, walk, run then fly. Building the mentality is very important at this time than any trophy if not we can win a trophy this season and collapse next season.
We have these many problems and we did more than many other teams in the league, got to the FA semi final, got to EL final. Ole has tried with the garbage and limitations he has to work with

elrony: Anybody blaming De Gea is a drunkard. The fact that Ole left Trashford on the pitch for 70 minutes for starts, and binned Mason should have his coaching license revoked.
If we blame De Gea wetin make we do Lindelof ?
We suppose sack am after that game, just like Van Gaal
Illimitable: It’s irrelevant if we don’t know the quality of the opposition faced by both De Gea and Henderson.
That was because of how poor Shaw & Fred’s kicks were. The Villareal players were better at taking penalties than United players.
I guess that was De Gea’s fault too.
De Gea’s hand touched about 3.
Henderson is a bum. He’s not better than De Gea at anything.
At 24, De Gea had won the PL and Europa/SuperCup at Atletico. De Gea had graced the PFA team of the year at 24.
Henderson hasn’t achieved anything close. He’s a bum who has no quality to even become United’s number one even if De Gea leaves.
Henderson is a 2nd goalkeeper at best. If De Gea decides to leave, United still need a #1 goalkeeper. Oblak or Donnarumma should be pursued instead of Henderson.
We all saw how useless Henderson was against Liverpool.
@ bolded....... doesn't change the fact that Henderson is better than De Gea in set pieces
weedtaker: De gea and Henderson are not mates, Henderson is an average goalie who shouldn’t even be playing for us if not for DNA rubbish.
At 18 De gea was winning this same Europa league title your mumu manager couldn’t win to save himself, De gea was keeping cleanshits against great European champions like Inter Milan and saving Penalty kicks from great strikers like Diego milito in regular time to achieve it.
Henderson is all hype and nothing else, someone that can’t even bench butter fingers Pickford at England should be Manchester United no.1 lol
DDG is a winner, your DNA mumu manager is dragging him down.
Raul Albiol is 35years old and your team can’t create clear cut chances and score to win the cup, na de gea wey don win 3 European cups you the blame.
All this is just history bro......
Mbappe and Messi are not mates in football.....if you are asked to sign just one, will you go for Messi?
Who is Spain no 1 goalie?
The question is SIMPLE, De Gea and Henderson who is better in saving PK?
Illimitable: Henderson is a bum. United would have lost at normal time if he had been in goal.
With Villareal's weak attack?
How many clear chance was created through out the game.
Saving penalties isn’t easy anymore with goalkeepers being forced to stay on the line until the ball is kicked.
The taker has to be very poor for a goalie to have a chance. The Villarreal keeper didn’t save any too apart from De Gea’s kick.
De Gea should never have been put in that position - he’s a goalkeeper, not a penalty taker. If Ole had done the needful, he would have brought on VDB, Mata, Amad at the 60th minute to try and win the game.
Ole deserved to lose. Stop putting the blame on De Gea.
Your foolish GK, can't follow simple instructions.
Smellymouth: How many penalty ederson don save , with everything De gea is better than Henderson.. Let’s stop trying to push Degea out of the team because of the mistakes of ole. If De Gea has 1 million fans, I am one of them. If De Gea has 10 fans, I am one of them. If De Gea has only 1 fan that is me.
If the world is against De Gea, I am against the world..
If David De Gea has no more fans it is because I don’t exist anymore.
