You are the ignorant one here.

That was a stupid play by Henderson. No need for him to go in with the knee, it was unbelievably dangerous. Could see doing it with opponents for safety but Bailly's back was to him posing no threat.
Henderson was right to go with his knee, that is how GK guides/protect themselves.......Bailly should be up there with the Watford player.

Headers are difficult to save, that is why every GK do come out to stop the cross (except Uncle Degea).

Ederson did the same to Diogo Jota and rightly got sent off for it, luckily Jota wasn't injured.

A good goalkeeper would have saved the shot on his line like De Gea would have. Henderson lacks natural ability..

Positioning and ability leads to acting reckless and flying into balls..
Saved the shot on his line like Degea? grin cheesy grin..... guy abeg stop,
Would you like to see the no of goals Degea conceded from headers and set-pieces?


Henderson is even better than Degea in
-Set-pieces
-Distribution
-Ball in the air/aerial duels

Henderson was right to attack the ball that way because that would have been a free header.

A goalkeeper's technique should mimic that of a shinguard. The shinguard not only protects the shin of the person wearing it but the person who is kicking the shin. Obviously we could just wear metal plates and never have to worry about shin-related injuries but then every field player would constantly be breaking their foot on 50-50 challenges. A goalkeeper must protect himself as well as the other twenty-one players on the field.

Imagine if a striker did that to a goalkeeper. There would be outrage and likely paired with more than just a one game ban. Smashing a knee into someone's head is more dangerous than a two footed tackle. The responsibility of protecting the safety of others on the field belongs to everyone, including goalkeepers...

Safety starts with you.

The knee is there to
- protect themselves
-discourage opponent from attacking the ball

FIFA/UEFA/all football orgs are aware of this.

So Henderson should have allowed a free header from 6 yards out so that he can prove that he can dive? cheesy

There should be relegation and promotion on this thread.

The way headers are so difficult to save, 2 GKs standing on the goal line won't save that Mctominay's goal.

We are advised to always stop the cross, to avoid stories that touch.

I don’t even get that kind theory. You nip things in the bud.

It’s football 101. You block crosses from coming in, you block shots from reaching goal, you punch out crosses. You don’t allow a player a free header 6 yards from goal just because you don’t want to injure your defender.

Keepers are taught to clear out everything including the ball and they use their knee for protection. The reason De Gea is often seen rolling on the floor after any aerial tussle is that he doesn’t implement this properly.

Bailly was unlucky that’s all. That is why it is not good to come from a village. If you don’t have a village you can’t have village people.
A good number of his injuries have just been bad luck and not really his fault, like when his captain gave him concussion.

Bro, goalkeepers are protected...It's the reason why a striker is easily penalized for contesting with a goalie for the ball...

Oliver Kahn, Jen Lehmann and Co will not tolerate striker contesting an aerial ball with them...Henderson had his bad moments yesterday but that punch and the accidental knock Bailly received isn't one of them...

grin The argument no make any sense, i just dey read comment dey shake my head. Some people here have criticise Degea for not always coming out to clear set-piece, now some are criticising Henderson for doing what Degea doesn't t do. Baily should have attempted to head that ball out, i hope his injury isn't serious...

A certain United reject is Leicester’s center half. Let soyuncu come and do it at United week in week out , you’ll know mememe.

Leicester’s very good defensive midfielders make their defenders look better than they are. It’s not a mistake they turn basket anytime Indidi is out.

For clarity, save van dijk, which premier league defender would you pick instead of maguire?

None my brother, he is the best of the best. I can think of no other defender in the Premier league that comes close to his boot cap... We are so lucky to have someone like him in our club grin even we sef dey regret say Evans don go, as we didn't know his worth when he was with us grin

Alaye stop being sarcastic and roll out names let’s bring up stat.

I just remembered that rashford chance against Leicester. You guys think if maguire freed a marker like that, he would go score free? You guys neglect the incredible pressure these guys play under and pounce on their slightest mistakes.

Yesterday, osasuna opened Madrid’s defense time and time over like Marina’s pant even with their Ramos’ and varane.

Maguire doesn’t play in front of stable defensive midfielders yet you guys nail him to the cross like barnabas.

Out of the spotlight and media scrutiny of United, most of these defenders look like the second coming of Nesta and Maldini because they only hype their good sides and ignore their weakness, but as a united player, they only decide to see that one mistake you made like 6-7 matches ago and dwell on it while using it to judge you, thereby ignore your numerous good games just because you play for united and every media is desperate to tag you a fraud or overated or a flop, because doing so is fashionable and trendy and will generate more clicks for your blog.

Nuff said.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Botfuss: 4:59pm On Jan 10, 2021
We can’t miss maguire if he leaves because a player doesn’t make a team. Last season, Chelsea didn’t miss hazard. Same as Liverpool when coutinho left. That Doesn’t make them bad players.

Alderwereid is better than Maguire, ... and Mourinho first choice CB pairing is Dier and Alderwereid.

Velstargaard is as slow and stupid as Maguire, but atleast he is scoring headers and not bought for 80M.
