David de Gea appreciation

Glad to see he’s regained some of his form that we were used to seeing because he’s the best keeper in Europe when he’s in that groove, but the season is still young and Hendo’s return is just round the corner too. Time for him to prove he still has a future here.

Henderson is statistically has been like the best goalkeeper in the league for 2 seasons running.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Henderson last season for Man Utd had a 76% save percentage in the league. De Gea managed 67.1% which was his worst season at Man Utd. What was interesting was we had a poor points per game record when De Gea played while with Henderson we had easily title winning form. Just shows you how important a top goalkeeper is.

Missed the game but assuming we have all agreed that De Gea will lead us to the title this year.

Technically speaking if you count when De Gea went off at Southampton last season De Gea record would have been 11 wins 9 draws 6 losses instead of 12 wins 9 draws 5 losses while Henderson would have been 10 wins 2 draws and 1 loss instead of 9 wins 2 draw 1 loss. If De Gea was as good as Henderson last season we probably would have ran Man City close. Perfect example Everton last season we played them 3x and the only clean sheet we managed was with Henderson in goal. De Gea conceded from all 4 shots on target.

Well De Gea was a spectator for nearly the whole game until the last second really.

So you wanted Henderson to be #1 but now DDG has had a few decent games and finally saved a penalty (law of averages) he's a "legend" and a "king".

Football fans....they never change.

So he stepped up when he was called into action, good to hear!

Funny part is Romero and Henderson have insane penalty records and De Gea has like near one of the worst in history. Ole had 2 of the best goalkeepers in the world last season at saving penalties and even knew De Gea poor record at saving penalties but still didn’t sub Henderson on. What was annoying was most of Villareal penalties were poor, our only poor penalty was by De Gea. Most of the ours were unsaveable while most of theres were easy saves but De Gea kept bsrely moving or when he moved they hit it at him lol. I think the Villareal keeper would have saved like 5 of there spotkicks but De Gea barely moved in all of them.
