'Could he do better?' Illan Meslier question marks emerge again in Leeds United defeat to Fulham

Former Swansea City defender Ashely Williams has raised questions over Illan Meslier's performance in Leeds United's defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Whites shotstopper has been out under the magnifying glass following a string of disappointing results, with the two goals conceded at Fulham making it 13 goals that've found the back of the net in just three games.

The results was Fulham's first league double over Leeds United since 1960 - a season which saw the Whites relegated. Javi Gracia and his side are now a point above the relegation zone having been dragged closer into the fight after Leicester City's win and Everton picking up a point.

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Leeds United supporters, who would have been forgiven for thinking their side had turned a corner following the wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest. Meslier is just one of a number of players to have been singled out for his poor performances in that time.
