Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell started and kept a clean sheet for Northern Ireland in their 2-0 win against Estonia at Windsor Park on Thursday night, and while most Whites fans were impressed with and happy for the 22-year-old, some still clearly remain unconvinced.
It took January addition Kiko Casilla just one Championship match to displace Marcelo Bielsa’s previous first-choice-stopper earlier in 2019, and he hasn’t played a minute of first-team football since.
However, the red card picked up by the Spaniard last weekend means that he should get the chance to stake his claim for a regular spot in the starting XI again against Millwall next time out, and playing for his country during the international break should ensure he is ready for action.
While most feel that the latest shut-out should give Peacock-Farrell a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the clash with the Lions, others were impressed with the quality of the saves he made in the Euro 2020 qualifying victory.
Not everyone was happy with the 6 ft 4 keeper though, with one describing how “he flapped at 3 or 4 crosses”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
