Dean Henderson

Quoted from Rik e B

He wasn't happy at all about being dropped for a young kid and if my memory serves me right he put in a transfer request, which he later withdrew.

I can understand him not being happy if Dean had been brought in as backup and then kept him out the team. Sounds like a good job he was recalled from his loan in the end as Macca is a solid keeper for us now!

Quoted from Davec

He did indeed hand in a transfer request and in his first game back against Luton after Henderson had gone back to United he ran over to Main Stand and confronted a fan in a fit of rage

Saved a penalty in that game too !

Makes some high profile mistakes though, too many to be a top top keeper imo.
however he was good for us, I remember him coming out for and collecting a cross early on in the Boxing day game against Accy Stan.  The whole ground applauded, we'd not seen that for ages.

Quoted from PoutonStepover

Can someone fill me in on this please? Ie what happened with Macca spitting his dummy out ect?

I was totally out of the Mariners scene 2004-2018 until my passion was reignited by my 6 year old son. We haven’t missed a home game since and only missed a handful of away games.

Great story.
Good on the lad

If you look at the England keepers we have at the moment they make a lot more mistakes than Henderson.
IMO he should be Englands Number 1

It took 4 months for Henderson to get in the team. No-one's place should be guaranteed.

Aye, Liverpool springs to mind, but he's 22. Doesn't seem to let it get to him either. Even now, I'd rate him higher than Pickford and Pope.

Yeah, I think removing any bias from my opinion, he's England's best goalkeeper at the minute for me.

I understand why Southgate goes for Pickford because of his distribution but Henderson is simply a better all-round 'keeper.  Hoping that he gets his chance in the next round of friendlies and pretty much forces himself into the No 1 shirt for the summer.

We really were lucky to have him and he still seems to have some affection for the club.

Hopefully Pickford won’t hand in a transfer request 🤪

The difference between the two is that Henderson commanded the area. The difference with him and the back four was noticeably better when defending. With Macca there's sometimes a mix up or they end up shouting at each other but with Deano they always seemed to know where they all where and what needed to be done. Being a goalkeeper these days is not just saving shots, it's organising the defence and distributing the ball better. That's where the big difference lies
