He is better than DDG at commanding the box but he is nowhere near his level on the line.

It wasn't. In slow motion.
Somebody else is 99% at fault for a keeper failing to stop a header straight at him? There’s some mental gymnastics at play there.
All goalkeepers make mistakes. He's only played a few games so it's understandable to be rusty. The key is he has to prove that it's fairly rare, and the only way we can find that out is for him to continue as #1 for the rest of the season.
Controls area? Really? How many crosses he collected today? On how many corners he collected ball? I will tell you; zero!
Another huge myth when people want to believe in something which is not true.
That was straight to Dean and he got a full hand to it. I think he made it look more acrobatic than it needed to be.
Nothing more needs to be said.

Reality check for all those saying he should play ahead of DDG. he looked like he lost concentration for a split 2nd and then flapped.
Worshipers? De Gea at his worst is better than Henderson and at his best it’s laughable to even mention two in the same sentence.
If David De Gea did that, you'd have a sworn of people calling for his head.
He has to save that, it's straight at him. No excuses

What I don’t get is why he’s basically crouching while the header comes at him? He’s almost falling backwards as he tried to hit it over
I do. As I said, still should have saved it. The marking on set pieces concerns me more.
Conveniently leaving out the bit where he came to the edge of his box to collect the ball and got fouled. Stop being outraged at nothing.
I take it back. The ball is already dropping its so powerless. Just awful hand eye coordination at such a critical time. He saves those 99/100 though.
It’s not a myth it’s statistically proven.
He's a very good keeper. His shot stopping needs to be worked on so. This is the role of our GK coach I assume ?
This guy has killed all my hopes and dreams. We are back to that coward De Gea.
How many crosses or corners were in positions that he could come for?
Some people go overboard with saying that every single one he comes for are ones that De Gea wouldn't, but there's no doubt that Henderson does come for more than De Gea.
Mate come on. Even i have climbed down from defending him. His hand eye coordination has let him down there.
This is blatantly not true. I can remembered him claiming one important one near the end of the match of the top of my head. He even got fouled for it.
Like plethora other great English goalies that just aged like a good red wine?
99%? Henderson doing his best Pickford impression there, no need for the silly acrobatics.
you see what you want to see, man. It was a 100% piss poor defending by a player (that you can see from that clip, if you bother to watch).
Rob Green was talking about exactly this on MNF this week. Very astute observation.
Luckily, it's technical and can be fixed.
Watching that goal again, his reflexes were awful. It wasn't even a bullet header. The angle from behind the goal makes it look even worse.
This. This new age Pep vision that gk must be midfielder or something is one big BS. Gk must save shots. It is 90% of his job. Distribution and commanding in area is also important but shot stopping is what gk does. And in that Hendo is nowhere near De Gea.
He’s played 15 games and he’s played 4 of our last 5 games.
Sell him etc.
I’m seeing what I want to see, that’s rich here
I’ve watched, it’s Matic man, he’s certainly caught a little on his heels and then gets blocked in the traffic by the Milan number 25, McTom ball watches, Henderson has a fairly simple save to make.
What the feck are you seeing to stick it 99% on someone?
Yeah, McTominay is shit on the goal too. But that’s 99% and a header straight at the keeper is 1%? Be serious.
De Gea has made worse mistakes. Does anyone not remember him kicking the ball into and Everton player last year that resulted in a goal?
Dean will make errors, he is young and that will happen. He needs backing and I think he has the mentality to overcome this mistake.

THAT is what i wanted to hear. I think that too. Many crosses gk just can't collect. But i bet you that people would question why DDG didn't rushed out for that last corner.
This is it. Character now to come back and brush it off and move on.
Was it worse than Henderson falling on the ball against Sheffield United?
Should've saved that header at the end, bad mistake.
Yes he is at fault for that but ffs that should never have been a clear header.
Moments before he was dragging Williams by the scruff to position him at the near post. He was probably still thinking “that’ll look great, people will say I’m bossing my area” as the ball went into the net.
Sadly I get the feeling he has the same affliction as Pickford, and Hart before him - more concerned with looking great than being great.

Very good point.
I don't care about some rare mistakes. Hendo did the same against SU. Remember that? Every gk will have that.
But when he starts saving shots like DDG did all his career which wins you points then we can talk about Henderson. So far, Henderson saves what he must. Top gk (big club gk) also saves tough shots and 100% chances.
