Dean Henderson saved Jesus’s pen. Does that make him God?
(I didn’t read the Bible.)
Can’t recall a better 45 minutes I’ve seen a keeper have live. He was just superb.

Plot spoiler: the book starts with a brother and sister shagging.
That's what separates a World class keeper from a Great keeper. UTBA seat on the Kop behind the goal v City was worth the admission money for Deano's first-half saves. I have said before how much I enjoy seeing great saves from behind the goal, and his save from Sterling was one of those brilliant moments - from 'Oh no!' to 'How did he save that?' in a fraction of a second. Not good for the heart, but good for the spirits.
I think he is a perfectionist (but not perfect, of course), so I wonder how he and the coaching staff have analysed the last 2 goals he has let in, because on watching them since, I wonder whether different split-second decisions might have given him a better chance (this is not a criticism of him at all). At Arsenal, the ball looped up and was in the air some time; if he had gone for it immediately, would he have got a hand to the ball first? For Aguero's goal, if he had dived towards the ball hands first, instead of going with his feet (often quite rightly the modern keeper's option), I think he might have cut the cross out. There were big problems in each case - at Arsenal the ball deflected and the forward came in quickly, v City Egan tried to intercept, and Aguero moved in at speed. With so many factors to take into account and only a split-second to decide, I am interested to know whether goalkeeping coaches would agree that he would have had a better chance with a different decision, and if so, how can they prepare for such things in training? There are so many variables in such situations, that it would be impossible to recreate them.
I really hope he is back with us next season - he is great to watch, and a terrific prospect.
VAR doesn’t check keepers off the line. Lino doesJust watched the replay of the penalty save. Amazed it didn't get retaken, deano moved both feet a yard off his line. We definitely got away with one there. Still, fuck var

Jesus stutters on run up and laws allow keeper to make a step of pen taker does that.
Hendo collects from his own save so no encroachment in play.
Hendo was fucking ace.

Have you just made that up? So a keeper can do what he wants, just as long as the taker stutters his run up? And then if he collects his save, it’s ok??VAR doesn’t check keepers off the line. Lino does

I have just read the laws on the FA website, and I think (it is complicated for late Friday evening) the sanction is an indirect free-kick if the penalty taker stutters at the end of his run-up. So the decision was wrong, but it may have been a broadly correct outcome (goalie clearance rather than free-kick). Hope that makes sense.No. It’s law
