Well, things clearly could have gone a lot better couldn’t they?
Sheffield United got their Premier League season underway with a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa in a game that was clouded in controversy over a disallowed goal during the first half.
So whilst the Blades managed to get out of the game with a point that they didn’t deserve (they deserved all three), it could have been a lot worse with them coming away with none if not for the efforts of Dean Henderson in goal.
Now moving to the top (joint with Nick Pope of Burnley) in terms of clean sheets in the Premier League this season, he kept the home side at bay by making six saves on the night, including a very impressive one right at the start of the second half.
Will Henderson be with us next season?
Yes
No
So it’s no surprise to see that Blades fans were full of praise for the 23-year-old for his performances, as they took to social media to praise him for his efforts.
Hero 👍

Although Deano was the best for us on pitch I’d have to say Robinson, dropping into that CB position at short notice with a solid performance, did well to hold off their big lads and what a ping he has on that left peg
