What's the point of Dean Henderson?

[Foxy82]

Both Thursday and today, Dean seems to offer very little. Always hanging around the goal, and catching the ball every now and then. And he does nothing to break up the opposition. Not interested in tackling and seems far less committed to work than our other 10 on the pitch who put in a shift.
Am I wrong?

 

[mrwanderingtexan]

What.

 

[Hannes]

What do you expect from a player who never crosses the halfway line?

 

[Part Time James]

Never steps up to take a penalty, delighted to settle for 12th, wears a different colour to his teammates. Get rid.

 

[vic rouse]

I like him in fact I think he’s a keeper

 

[JHB]

He never makes forward runs either

 

[EagleinSF]

And never heads the ball either. Jeez....

 

[Teddy Eagle]

And is a bit over fond of a handball which referees seem to gloss over. And he hasn't scored in ever. Apart from not being offside very often the blokes a liability.

 

[ex hibitionist]

I'd have Wharton in goal personally.

 

[Pikester]

And he wears a hat. To a football match. It's not 1930 Dean!!

It's gone too far. Whoever Hender is let's hope he's proud of his son.

What amuses me is every time we play Man U, Mark Goldbridge says 'Oh Hendo's having a worldie against us'.

No, Hendo is a consistently great keeper and in 1 summer (2023) Man U managed to:
1) release de Gea
2) sign Onana £44m
3) sell Hendo £20m

Clowns. Didn't know football then, dont now.

He's there to stop the ball from going into the net behind him, it's rather the point of him being there in the first place, and as it turns out, he's really quite good at it! Who would have thought...

Might as well stick that old geezer warming him up before matches between the sticks - what’s his name again ;-)

Bill Glazier?

 

[BromleyMonkey]

I think he’s a disgrace, I don’t know how he lives with himself saving penalties and stopping city and the scousers winning more trophies

Bill Glazier?

I’ll see your Bill Glazier and raise you a John Jackson.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Out of interest does he actually get to keep the goal or is it a sort of loan arrangement?

It’s been the same goal for 20 years, it’s had 7 new nets and 5 new posts and crossbars

Never been the Jacksons though have we.
