Yes, I disagree.
He's up there. Probably top five.
But you may have some red and blue tinted glasses on there.
Allison, Donnurama, Pickford, Martinez (although I despise him) and Sels could also make a strong case.

I actually think Martinez is very over- rated. He is living off that save in the world cup final.

We would have buried Liverpool if it wasn't for Allison. Mind you Deano made a great save in that game too.
Deano is in the top bracket of players in his position. Just like the rest of the spine of the team. Happy days.

He is a great shot stopper, and his decision making has improved no end. However his distribution consistently lets him down. If he can improve on this then he should definitely be Englands no1.
That said I wouldn’t swap him for Pickford!!

Henderson is the best English goalkeeper in the Premier League. However, considering Pickford had 8 clean sheets out of 8 in qualifying, you can't blame Tuchel for sticking with him. Pickford has done well for England. Henderson has done really well for us. Pretty sure stats have him in the top four of the league. I'm relatively sure he's better than Pickford on league stats this season, but I could be wrong.

Henderson sent him fifty quid.

He's made several stupid mistakes this season - definitely overrated IMO.

Yes. I'd rate Allison and Donnarumma ahead of him and Pickford alongside him.

Probably not the best, but I wouldn’t want anyone else that’s for sure. He’s made some important saves in big games this year and is now a trophy winning legend of the club

credit to all the goalkeeping resources at Palace - including subs. Including Speroni as a fantastic coach.

I see what you mean 🤔 but not really, there’s better, as mentioned by others, but hendo’s been such a hero I wouldn’t want to change him now and upset our back line. Plus he’s a bit of a character and he engages with the fans as well

Old Picknose looking decidedly shaky against the toon at the moment. All helps Hendo’s cause for the summer😎😃

I think there’s a couple better, but certainly not Pickface, he’s a cocky t*** as well when he’s been in front of us up the Whitehorse, I’m sure holmesdale dwellers will say the same

Pickford has far better distribution with his feet.
A feature of his game is the quick release of the ball, finding team-mates at long range.
His mastery of the side-volley has really impressed his goalkeeping coaches.
He used to play in midfield whilst at school.

Henderson started as an outfielder too. I think he was a defender though. Honestly I’ve seen good distribution from Hendo in a lot of games.
