It might seem a little bit harsh to keep pointing it out.
But until he can eradicate the mistakes totally from his game and stop costing Leeds points, then I don’t really have a lot of choice.
Leeds drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion last night to leave things pretty much as they were at the top of the table in the Championship, at least as far as the top two are concerned anyway, however things could have been a lot different if it weren’t for a mistake made by goalkeeper Kiko Casilla in the build-up to West Brom’s goal.
Rather than opt to catch the ball, push it over the bar for another corner, or put it into an area of relative safety he punched the ball right up into the air, keeping pressure on the defence until the ball was eventually bundled over the line by Semi Ajayi.
And it was a moment that certainly didn’t escape the eyes of these Leeds United fans on Twitter, as they tore into the Spaniard for his part in the goal.
Casilla is costing us games. His own defenders can’t trust him. #lufc

Casilla = liability #lufc

When does Casilla get his ban? Could do with it sooner rather than later. #lufc

Wish the EFL would hurry up and ban Casilla #lufc

Just when you think our defending from corners and set pieces can’t get any worse. I’m guessing Casilla has been told to stay on his line. Christ. #lufc

The Casilla flap is back and back with a vengeance it seems. #LUFC

Casilla has had a mare there #lufc

Are you concerned errors could creep back into Kiko's game and cost us points?
Yes
No
Although I’m not his biggest fan, I do think the comments mentioning the potential ban are going a little bit too far.
