Wilfried Gnonto paints a clear picture on how the Leeds United players feel about Illan Meslier
It’s been a difficult few days to be a Leeds United fan after the late drama that unfolded on Saturday afternoon.
With Leeds’ 2-2 draw with Swansea, they’ve practically handed Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United the chance to win the Championship.
Daniel Farke will know the increased amount of pressure he’s under following the result as Leeds’ visit to Luton Town this weekend is proving pivotal.
Gary Lineker has warned Leeds about the play-offs, but Whites fans won’t need to be told how crucial it is that they avoid dropping out of the top two.
Farke will have plenty on his mind, but regarding Illan Meslier, all he has to do it take one look at how the Leeds players feel about him, especially Wilfried Gnonto.
Wilfried Gnonto’s reaction to Illan Meslier says it all for Leeds United
The Leeds faithful are more than likely on the side of Meslier leaving Elland Road this season.
It seems as though his blunders vs Swansea were undefendable as he’s only heaped needless pressure on his team.
The Frenchman could’ve avoided these circumstances as Meslier was told to leave Leeds in 2023 but decided to stay.
This has now brought the Whites squad to their breaking point, as Gnonto’s reaction after Swansea’s late equaliser says it all.
Swansea posted a video of their celebrations, and Gnonto can be seen stomping up and down in a rage at Meslier’s mistake as every other Leeds player looks on in disbelief.
Despite Meslier’s misfortunes at Leeds, Gnonto sent a message to Farke
The Italian winger will be frustrated by his teammates’ errors, but there was nothing much more Gnonto could do on Saturday.
Once again, he saw the bench, which wasn’t too much of a surprise after Gnonto’s injury on international duty, but Farke has no excuses anymore.
He looked extremely lively when he came on and proved that for what was suspected to be the winning goal, had Meslier not made another blunder.
Although the keeper has taken centre-stage, this shouldn’t shy away from Gnonto’s impact, as Graham Smyth is convinced Gnonto starts vs Luton.
It’s a clear message to Farke, and if he wants to improve his chances of winning against Luton, he has to start Gnonto
