The 'criminal' comment is overboard and he's coming across as being very unprofessional. He clearly feels he was mistreated, but not sure how moaning in public is meant to help him. It will surely put off other clubs.
Yeah. I don't even blame him for being bitter. Wouldn't be shocked if the dysfunctional regime under Ole indeed told him he was gonna be #1 and he feels stabbed in the back, but

You underestimate 3 things because of which many Henderson's goals look "amazing".
First goal came from a heavy deflection, from a defenders arms, the ball was heading for the right post but went in towards the left instead. I would love to see the keeper that anticipates that! Barnes shot was beautifully placed bottom corner, close to the post. Not saying he is great by any means but extremely harsh to blame him for these goals.
Not quite. You will always underperform against the goals you actually concede, but will always be overperforming every time you make a save. You also shouldn’t use pre-shot xG to assess GK performance, because it doesn’t do anything to tell you how hard it is to save any particular shot.
Strange thing to say, given Watford weren't best pleased with Foster's social media activities.
Yeah, he was a 40 year old man planning his exit strategy. He knew what he was doing.
And one would expect much better from a 40 year old man.
Why? Millionaire owners in the second tier of English football will get over it. Ben Foster took in a vunerable homeless person on Christmas day a few years ago. I think he might be quite a decent guy.
With his comments in the summer about wanting to leave before ten Hag even had the chance to talk to him, I’d be surprised if we do.
Not sure about that. Henderson is certainly much more willing and eager to come out and try to play the ball around, but his actual ability to do so isn't very good. Not with his feet, anyway. His distribution with his throws is certainly much better. He sets up a lot of counter-attacks with quick throws to players in good positions, and it's something that I'd love to see more of from whoever our keeper is. Makes me miss Schmeichel.
