Meslier

Damn. I thought we needed to add a keeper
before the window shut. Nah. Mes is growing
as every minute goes by. Superb today.



Starting to think the combo of Radz/Orta
following MB's direction are nailing signings.

I want stuff ... yes, it is far too early to judge him.

But, he was brilliant today. I doubt you'd find many Leeds fans who saw this coming. Tremendous
signing by the looks of the last few games.

Without a doubt Man of the Match we might have lost without him but he'll have a stinker at some point all keepers do. Wait to see how he copes with that. Being Leeds keeper can be a bit of a poison chalice.

Thought he had a bit of a stinker already in the Fulham game. He was excellent today - already justifying the faith that Bielsa has put in him.

Really great result. That takes the pressure off a bit for the Man City game.

Poor against Fulham, excellent today. No doubting there's plenty of talent there.

Was to blame for the third goal against Fulham. Not sure you can blame him for the other two. Suggesting he was poor in that game is harsh imo.

Seen it reported on Twitter that Casilla has agreed a move back to Spain. Leeds looking for a new goalkeeper.

^^^ If that's true, probably best for Kiko.

And that would lend credence to the Gunn rumour.

Talking of City, just realised that because Harrison is on loan he won't be able to play next weekend against his parent club.

He will definitely be missed on today's performance.

That’s how I saw it... he’ll have been disappointed with the penalty but I wouldn’t ‘blame’ him for it. 2 great saves today - the first was exceptional.

My personal doubts weren’t him, they were about the wisdom of going in to such an important season with such a young inexperienced lad in the firing line.

Well, we thank Casilla for his lack of professionalism for putting us in that position, Milky. Luckily, Meslier has done and continues to do the business - there's a young man with some serious backbone, not to mention talent - even if he does have an impossibly large head!

It's great to hear Casilla has a move (anywhere) lined up. We are becoming a leading brand in the world of football again, just as Casilla's profile has risen in the most negative way possible (and just when BLM was very much in the public eye again). He had to go. That it's being done quietly is very much in the club's interest. But he has to go - he blew it big time.

have said all along our keepers are fine... we play a certain way so our keepers MUST be able to play good football...

despite people not rating our keepers, they come unstuck when they're asked to find a keeper to replace them.. because you have to find a legend with their feet.
