Illan Meslier is playing like a goalkeeper who doesn't trust the defenders in front of him and it's that increased pressure which has brought about a number of errors in the goalkeeper's game in recent weeks, according to former Leeds United star Jermaine Beckford.
Meslier silenced some of the critics who have emerged of late with his performance against Leicester City on Tuesday night one of the standouts after a string of impressive saves to keep out the Foxes. It was a notable return to form after difficult back-to-back heavy defeats in which the shot-stopper was criticised for some of his mistakes.
The 23-year-old has been an ever present in the Premier League this season for both Jesse Marsch and now Javia Gracia, with the Spaniard keeping faith in his French goalkeeper despite many calls for Joel Robles to get a first league start in goal for the Whites. That faith from Gracia was rewarded with a fine display.
