Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri faced criticism for his performance in Torino's Serie A loss to Frosinone, with Italian journalist Sandro Mellano describing his handling of the ball at his feet as 'disastrous'. Perri made his ninth appearance for Torino, but struggled with slow reactions and costly mistakes. Mellano rated him 4 out of 10 for his display, citing errors that nearly led to additional goals for Frosinone.
Perri's struggles began with a slow reaction to Frosinone's opening goal and continued with two separate mistakes handling the ball at his feet, though he escaped punishment on both occasions. These errors occurred in the 50th minute and again in the 73rd minute. Torino ultimately lost the match, marking their second consecutive league loss and dropping them to 10th place in the Serie A standings.
Perri's continued struggles will concern Leeds United as they impact Torino's decision to exercise their €15m option to make his move permanent. A former Torino goalkeeper suggested it was too early to judge Perri, recommending more time to assess his performance. Torino have one more fixture before the international break, after which Perri will join the Brazil squad for upcoming friendlies.

Source context
Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri has come under fire for his poor display and ‘disastrous’ handling of the ball at his feet during Torino’s Serie A defeat against Frosinone. The 28-year-old entered Sunday’s contest at the PSC Arena on the back of receiving backing from boss Ignazio Abate, who has been encouraged by the progress he had made since arriving in Turin during the summer. Perri made his ninth appearance between the posts for the Toro, hoping to put in a good performance, but endured another difficult encounter as Frosinone struck twice to leave the visitors empty-handed.
