Was one of only 2 keepers to keep a clean sheet, so that probably went a long way into the decision.

I get the impression they sometimes look at the games and think they should have someone from that team and then pick one there's a space free for. Maybe Hendo was the best keeper of the week but I kind of doubt it given how little he had to do.

Yeah, but this is a poor metric. There are some shots in football where no keeper in the world would save them - a well taken penalty for instance. I wouldn't expect there are many keepers in the Prem that wouldn't have kept a clean sheet vs. Palace.

Henderson is a mental choice - feels like they just went "only two teams kept a clean sheet this weekend, and one of them was a promoted team - their keeper must have had a blinder".

I mean, even if you just looked at the stats and didn't even watch the game, it's pretty obvious that he had nothing to do. Palace mustered 0.24xG for goodness sake - only Spurs had a lower xG this weekend, and they were playing Man City.

We're a fashionable club these days ;-)

Well now the pundits are running out of things to criticise us for then its only fair to assume that we are doing so well because of our Man U loanee!

Edit: Nice to see JOC in there though. How about an all-Blades back three in the England team before the end of the season.
