This was also Kjaer’s penalty kick at the same World Cup against Subasic.

Where was your secondary school law to punish these goalies for cheating? grin ; cheesy

You people argue based on what’s on paper.

Far back in the 1990s we used this law in our school football. Diving out was not allowed.

Now see this article of 2014. It is NOT a new law
If it’s not a new law, how did goalkeepers cheat at 2018 World Cup?

Do you even watch football to be disputing a well known fact?

This was Kasper Schmeichel when he saved Pivaric’s kick at 2018 World Cup.

Where was your law to penalize Schmeichel?

That was how De Gea gave Chelsea 2 goals in the FA cup semi-final last season

Romero would have saved those goals.
United wouldn’t even have made the final had Henderson kept at Roma.

De Gea made about 8 instinctive saves Henderson would have bottled. It would have been epic losing a tie with 6-2 advantage in the first leg.

It's not new. The linesman watches it. Before VAR, keepers were penalised for such. As far back as 2007, it was used. Much before, it was used. Now I see it was introduced in 1905 from google search
That’s not true.

GKs we’re still doing it until VAR was introduced. The introduction of VAR introduced the law that at least one foot must be on the white line until the ball is kicked.

@ bolded....... doesn't change the fact that Henderson is better than De Gea in set pieces
He’s not better than De Gea at anything apart from rushing out of his lines to pretend to claim the ball.

Even that attribute is questionable as he has also conceded goals where he ought to have rushed out to claim the ball.

Herderson would have saved the goal DDG conceded and we win in regulation time. Simple
I wonder how he couldn’t save United from conceding 3 goals against Sheffield United(relegated team) at Old Trafford.

This was Dudek against Pirlo in 2005.

Dudek was off his line completely before Pirlo even kicked the ball and Dudek saved. No officials spotted it.

This is not a new football rule, oga
It is quite new.

Long before this season, GK’s were able to game the system because there was no VAR to check if the keeper came out of his line or not.

Until last season where every pen gets reviewed to see whether GK gained an advantage via cheating. Liverpool couldn’t have won the 2005 CL final with the nonsense Dudek was doing in Istanbul.

He cheated over and over and got away with it.

Villarreal had one shot on target which was their goal. Which one again would have beaten Herdenson?
It would be a totally different game if Henderson was in goal.

Little details like speeding to start attacks after catching a ball and giving the ball away can create chances for opponents.

You are putting the blame on the wrong person. Your world class manager took out Greenwood to bring on Fred while searching for a goal - De Gea’s fault.

Your world class manager made no changes in normal time to try and win the game. Emery made his first change in the 60th minute - De Gea’s fault.

Villarreal have the budget of Crystal Palace and yet Ole couldn’t find a solution to break down their low block - De Gea’s fault.

You people deserve Ole. grin

2020/2021 stats

Henderson
26 apps 22 goals conceded 13 clean sheet

De Gea
36 apps 46 goals conceded 12 clean sheet
It’s irrelevant if we don’t know the quality of the opposition faced by both De Gea and Henderson.


Expert17:
Villareal GK almost saved Shaw's and Fred's PK and eventually saved one.
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. cheesy grin


Expert17:
De Gea was not even close.
De Gea’s hand touched about 3.


Expert17:
Henderson is far better than Degea in anything related to set pieces.

Just look at DDG foot /positioning 2 seconds before the ball was kicked.

De Gea has bottled how many finals in recent seasons?
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. grin cheesy

With Villareal's weak attack?
How many clear chance was created through out the game.
Henderson conceded against Wolves(weak attack).

Henderson conceded 3 goals at OT against Sheffield United who had relegated as early as December last year.


Expert17:
Your foolish GK, can't follow simple instructions.
Centrally to his left or to his right? The instruction did not say.

Go and stand in goal before criticizing. Villareal’s keeper followed instructions and conceded 10 goals too.

Penalties are too difficult to save with the new rules. The taker has to be very very poor for any goalkeeper to have a chance.

Henderson in goal wouldn’t have won the game for United last night. United were losing either way because the manager is useless.

If it was Herdeson that did not save any penalty and also missed, Illimitable would not have allowed us to rest throughout the Summer
Henderson is a bum. United would have lost at normal time if he had been in goal.

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.

Lol.

It gets worse for Ole each time you examine that 2017 win.
But his fans see progress.

Let’s examine the ‘progress’. cheesy

Progress Under Ole:

5/7 Quarter-Finals
1/5 Semi-Finals
0/1 Finals
0/1 UCL group stage qualifications

Prem Finishes:
6th (66pts, 32 off the top)
3rd (66pts, 33 off the top)
2nd (74pts, 12 off the top)

In any organization, Ole would have received his P45 like 12 months ago. He personifies the word failure.

After spending close to £300m, 0 trophies in 3 years? grin

This club is a joke.

That guy should have been a human stereo.
Mourinho won this in 2017 without any tension. At no point in that final did anyone think Ajax would score a goal. It was a Mourinho masterclass.

It wasn’t supposed to be easy. Jose had plenty of challenges going into that final. This was what Mourinho had to deal with to win it in 2017.

Close to half of the starting XI were on crutches.

As in, you lost against a team that has Etiene Capoue and Francis coqeusgelin in midfield and you’re blaming de gea for the loss.
They have not realized how bad it is to have just 2 shots on target(61% possession) in 120 minutes against Villarreal.

Mourinho parked the bus in 2017 final against Ajax and he managed 4 shots on target in 90 mins, 30% possession. grin

There’s no proof of that.

Had Henderson played tonight and United lost in a similar manner, the pro De Gea group would also be saying David would have saved 8 of those penalties.

2 shots on target in 120 mins against Villarreal?

According to Olesexuals:

Mourinho who won 3 trophies under 3 season at United is a failure.

Pochettino who won 2 trophies this season is a failure/bottler.

Rodgers who won 1 trophy this season is a bottler.

Ole with 0 trophy in 3 season is making progress...

OleOUT!
It’s the media.

90% of United fans have been brainwashed by the media.

Instead of winning a title, they tell you Ole has beaten Pep 5 times so he’s a good manager. grin

They tell you Ole hasn’t lost an away league game in a season so it’s progress.

They tell you Ole has injected United DNA into all his players and there’s a positive atmosphere.

Emery played a Mourinho known tactic and won. Their fans are celebrating. No one cares about tactics in a final - just win the bloody trophy and keep it moving.

All the penalties were well taken.

Mourinho won this without any tension in 2017 and his haters said it was a useless achievement.

Now, we have to be taken through the anxiety of a penalty shootout against a 7th placed team in Spain.

If there’s any Ole supporter still out there, this is a lesson for them that their manager is the most useless in Europe.
