Luke Ayling offers Illan Meslier assessment after Leeds hammered by Bournemouth

Luke Ayling hꦜas lept to the defence of Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier after he made another mistake at Bournemouth today.

Ayling was at right-back as Leeds were h♏ammered by Bournemouth. Despite getting a goal backꦐ, the Whites capitulated in the second half and now look in serious relegation trouble.

One of the reasons Leeds have struggled of late is the form of 💮goalkeep✤er Meslier. He made an error at Fulham and then another today.

But speaking to after the game, Luke Ayling defender Meslier, insisting he’ll be one of t✨��he very best in the world.

“Look, he’s a young lad who’s still learning. He’s played many games but he’s ꧙still only 23 and he’s in a place where not too many people have played as many games as he has,” Ayling .

“He’ll learn from it an꧒d I’ve got no doubt he’ll go on to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. This spell is a learning spell for him and we’ve got four big games coming up and he’ll be needed in those games. Hopefully he can find his form.”

M🐬eslier has made more than appearances for Leeds and has produced some fine displays. However, the errors are creeping in and it’s something Leeds need to keep tabs꧅ on.

This is a nice touch from Ayling to go out and speak in support of his teammate. There have been games where Meslier has helped Leeds so w♚hen he makes a mistake, he ne𝕴eds to be defended.

Meslier, as Ayling says, should go on to become one of the best goalk𒊎eepers in the world. Right now, he just needs to battle on and hopefully, play a part in Leeds stopping up.

Leeds are lucky to have Meslier, and in the future, he’ll have a 𓆉fine career regardless.
