to do more yeah and how many if it had gone low he'd block it with his feet look how narrow his feet are how often do you see from those sort of angles but if he had been shot he'd have been able to close his legs together but he said he stands tall and a lot of back in the day we used to get beaten in the roof of the net because strikers studied it it got better he's gone for power got nothing to aim for but if he was too far down the line he wouldn't have had time to react he knows defenders are closing him him and theirs is just concentrating on a good connection so that is textbook goalkeeping transfer the pressure make the save and uh it looks pretty routine but because he's got it technically
I think we call that the goalkeeper's union.
So I don't remember when I was young working on foot saves, and it's all trying to get your hands to things, but now because of strikers, the ball's moving quicker, it's lighter, maybe there I'd have come and tried to narrow the angle and you get missed out, but no, transfer the pressure, working on it, but a foot save, you see it so often, so often, and you don't have to make the perfect save, use all your armoury, but David De Gea, I think obviously his 300th appearance in the Premier League for Manchester United today.
And there you go.
So he's doing something right.
And that is why people study it.
He's come from a Futsal background, everything else you study it.
I still don't think he's been quite at the levels.
But if Manchester United are going to get back to where they were, you see it for Alisson, Ederson, they need David De Gea right back at it.
But if he's not and they decide to move him on, then Dean, I'm going back to Sheffield United here, but Dean Henderson, who's playing there, I believe he could come back and do a job too.
I just think he's so quick, he's good with his feet, he's got the confidence and we've seen how he's done.
He's evolved with his loans, he's gone on with Sheffield United, he saw his game against Manchester City.
To play here for Manchester United, you have to have an aura about you and he believes and I think he'll be pushing the England spot.
I think he could do a job here but until they do move De Gea on, then I think Henderson needs to stay out on loan and keep developing.
Just doesn't get the contact that he'd like.
Yeah, great chance.
He scored so many from there.
I think he did, you know, he saw it all the way, but just mistimed it.
But Moutinho's set-piece deliveries, and you always felt today, because it was such a tight game, I think there was a shot from distance from Fernandes that just sneaked through Patricio's grip.
But all in all, tight game.
