overall a fair result. Makes you wonder if Messlier is worth a start? Inspired substitution, Bamford gave us life and a threat: Douglas gave us solidity. He did not put a foot wrong and gave us quality on set plays. Personally, I would start Douglas next few games.

kiko been amazing, best keeper in the leage and saved us time and time again. messler is only worth a start if he can play cb and head a ball.

Kiko has also cost us time and time again.
Have to play Messlier against Arsenal as Kiko could still get a 6 game ban.

Kiko was finding his feet last season. Drafted in half way through a campaign isn't the easiest of starts. Immediately taking over from the regular keeper is a hell of a lot of pressure. So I believe it's understandable that his performances weren't to his best standards
This season, with a full pre-season under his belt and the confidence of his team mates, I believe that Kiko has produced some outstanding performances. I have no idea were Canada is getting his opinion from that Kiko is still the same liability. Obviously he only watches tv coverage with a pint in his hand and with a glass half empty mentality. Take the beer goggles off sometimes and watch how our defence use Casilla as an extra defender and a pass option when they are being closed down. Of all those defensive players on the pitch Casilla is by far the most comfortable with those passing triangles.
Canada, no problem with you having a different opinion, we are all Leeds, but if it's going to be negative be sure it won't be a unanimous opinion and someone out there will want a better reasoning behind it. If you check stats Casilla's complete pass ratio is good.

I’m with Bermo and Axe on this. Yes, he flaps the odd time, but his all round play is excellent, and he’s perfectly suited to Bielsaball.

If someone could stop his flapping. Teach him to catch over punch but most of all control his box. When to stay, when to go and if he goes, take out everything in his way. Then we would have a top goalie until then we have a decent shotstopper (with flaws) .

it's not flapping it is having to do too much work and coverage.
as a keeper you want to be responisble for 25% of the goal on crosses (which he is he caught a few yesterday) trouble is he knows our defence is useless so he has extra responsilibty which means he has to cover 60% of the goal and go for balls that he has no right in going for. there for he flaps. because they ain't his balls to win.
the goal yesterday. first cross wasnt Kiko's it was Phillips be he can't head a ball and ain't tall. so kiko went for it and got it but not a great connection. our defence then lost two headers and let the ball bounce in the five yard box before letting in a goal
if anyone thinks that is the keepers fault and not the defences. they are mad or don't understand football
yes football is about opinions but sometimes things are either wrong or right and the goal yesterday was down to a team that can't defend high balls. same story all season, it improved when bamford come in as he is our only player who can defend a cross sadly.
