Daniel Farke's side ended the season in the worst possible way with play-off heartache at Wembley
The 24-year-old developed into a regular under Daniel Farke ever since he arrived at Elland Road last summer and was a trusty member of the squad that almost secured promotion back to the Premier League. But that doesn't come without his critics.
Leeds' goalkeeping department has been a bone of contention for many years, from the days of Bailey Peacock-Farrell to Paul Robinson. But one former shot-stopper to have fronted the weight of expectation at Elland Road feels Meslier deserves a lot more credit overall. "So, if I let in a goal that I think I should have saved or done better with, I'll voice that straight away to my teammates, to the manager, I'll go in and apologize and go sorry, that isn't good enough.
"Technically on the goal, to go where Adam Armstrong finishes, and he finished well, but to go the way that Ilan did that day, I think he might reflect on that and think I possibly shouldn't have got into the position I got into to try and make that save. There was enough distance there for reaction to happen and not try and get into that block position, which is a good position when the player is a lot closer to you.
