Coco hearing next week

[norfolk white]

Wish meslier had been given more game time rather than being judged on one game, although in that game his distribution was immaculate and he looked super confident, seems that casilla will be in goal for us whatever, unless he gets banned, he just seems to go from one disaster to another, surely he got all his medals by benchwarming and not actually playing.

This distribution shyte is overrated.
Goalkeeper rule No1. Keep the ball out of the net.
There are no other rules!

[spaldy]

after Kiki gives up a howler or passes the ball to the striker he does get it out of the net very quickly

does that count for keeping it out of the net?

Concur.... Keep ball out of net = 95%. Distiribution = 5%

Agree and that would mean we were wrong to get rid of BPF (Yes, cracked record and don't give a rats ar5e who says so).

I dont think we were wrong to get rid of BPF, however I think Kiko should be held to account to the exact same standards and if so Meslier would be playing more often and might even be No 1 now.

That's what irks me most, is the stubbornness or favoritism that is evident. I could debate all day who is the better keeper, BPF or Kiko but I can't justify the inconsistent standards they are used by Biesla in this regard.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Very good point made by Phil Hay about Kiko”s mistake. It wasn’t a goalkeeping error as such but a mis-controlled pass to him. All the outfield players do this every game but it has fewer consequences whereas Kiko receives many passes each game and is usually very good.

Context eh!

[Rev72]

Ok..so we give him that one...but what about all the others???

Needs dropping in my honest..humble..opinion.

[spaldy]

Using Hay's logic......

Perhaps we should stop passing back to him. Just a thought

Hard to believe that the field players run and work at Leeds as hard as they do they'd pass the ball back to someone that's going to mess it up even once in a while.

It's not like we've scored a lot of goals from his distribution.

Twice in the last couple of games he's 'distributed' the ball under no pressure straight down the middle of the pitch no further than 30 yards out to an opposition player- each time the player should have either scored or created a goal as a result, but didn't.

There was an article in i think the Telegraph online yesterday and it listed all the errors and how costly they've been, this year and last year, and made what i think is a very valid (semi-joking) point - even if we played the young lad and he threw one in against Bristol, we wouldn't notice the difference to previous weeks anyway, so the argument of him potentially not being good enough really doesn't hold any validity. Therefore, completely worth a shot.

(Especially without Coco in goal to save it).
