Sunderland Star Player Confirmed Out ahead of Clash with Leeds united as manager reveals plans to Land starter
Illan Meslier has been a polarising figure since relegation from the Premier League at Elland Road, with some stunning saves and clean sheets partnered with some questionable performances and standout weaknesses to his game.
Up next is Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, an opponent where one of his best saves ever in a Leeds shirt came last season in that 1-0 defeat.Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris is familiar with Meslier from well before his scouting reports of the Whites in buildup to tonight, having worked at FC Lorient while the French stopper was on the books there.
Leeds had a generational goalkeeper talent in their midst when Meslier first broke through, and he looked like one of the best young ‘keepers in the world during our first season in the Premier League.
However, he’s not kicked on since and you could feasibly argue his performances in key areas of his game have regressed.
His distribution leaves a lot to be desired and his shot-stopping isn’t the most consistent, which are two vital components.
A strong performance at Sunderland tonight would go some way towards proving the doubters wrong.
