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.
