Johnstone was brilliant last season.
Henderson worries me every time he goes near the ball.
Really surprised at the squad number change too.
OG could've played them off each other for a while. There was no need to commit to one or the other whether they liked it or not.
Your 'number 1' always needs that competitive edge knowing someone just as good is beside him.
That edge is gone now in one foul swoop

Johnstone for me. better distribution, makes less mistakes, all round better keeper. Better with the ball at his feet. I was surprised when we signed Henderson in the first place, and then I saw his wages against Johnstones!!! Beggars belief!

SJ.
With SJ in goal last weekend I do not think we see the feeble paw for Brentford's second goal.
More generally, he seems more commanding and is more consistent. I'm surprised he isn't our #1.

Glasner is human after all. Picking Henderson over Johnstone his first mistake.

Sam Johnstone was my vote but I see why he is now 2nd choice.
All the financial rules right now mean that a keeper who cost nothing, will be pure profit so it is unfortunate but that's the situation at every club.
Our big mistake was buying Henderson full stop. We didn't need to spend £20m on a keeper. Although he was necessary when SJ got injured.
While Remi Matthews being completely out of his depth for PL football (Poppadom wrists doesn't even cover it), we do need a decent back up.
Henderson is a fair keeper and can make some outstanding saves, but overall SJ is the better keeper.
I'd sooner we sell Henderson but it was always going to end this way. You cant have 2 keepers who both want to be in the England squad playing at the same club.

look how 'glad all over' we are that Johnstone went to Wolves. He just scored an OG from the back of his head, at the Emirates. Johnstone is now part of the worst team in Prem history.
Go back and read all this thread Eagles. And then give thanks that the manager is Glasner and not yourself.......

I’ve always been a fan of Hendo since he was at Sheffield Utd. He was everything to Wilder’s team, people raved about that team at the time, but they fell apart quickly without him and it was obvious to me who they missed the most.
He got effed over at Man Utd, De Gea was getting less and less reliable and Deano had been putting in better performances out on loan, they made promises to Dean that never got followed through on, mistake on their part one of so many that club made.
I knew he was a masterstroke signing when we picked him up and I’m thrilled that he not only lived up to my expectations but exceeded them in the end. He is such a vital part of this team. I’m laughing my back side off at all the detractors who thought Johnstone was the better of the two.

It’s a two-way street. I’m sure he doesn’t have a lot of faith in them but equally I wouldn’t expect they have much faith in him either at the moment.
