Leeds United: Silvestri named vs Luton – Twitter responds

Leeds United face lower league opposition in the EFL Cup for the second successive game tonight with the Whites having made the journey south into Bedfordshire to face Sky Bet League Two’s Luton Town.

Changes were always going to be made in the game’s line-up, what with Leeds having an important Championship game coming up against Nottingham Forest on Saturday away at the City Ground. In fact, Leeds United head coach Garry Monk made wholesale changes – a full 11 of them.

One welcome change was the inclusion of new loanee Pontus Jansson, the 6ft 5in Swede on loan from Italian side Torino making his Whites début.

However, it’s the re-call of former #1 Marco Silvestri that’s got a section of Leeds fans quite vocal on Twitter.

“I tawt I taw a goalkeeper,” Silvestri picked vs Luton – fan responses

Jake isn’t hopeful of a positive result, pinpointing Silvestri already as the guilty party.

Twitter user crisis club is pretty certain that his stake has been wasted.

This Leeds fan is worried when Silvestri has those nosebleed moments when mere mortal keepers think they are Rene Higuita.

It’s hard to decide whether Andy is being totally serious with this Tweet.

Not all Leeds fans are negative about the inclusion of Silvestri; some fans seeing it as an opportunity rather than a curse.

Marco Silvestri’s Leeds United career seemed to be over when he was sent back from the Ireland Tour and told to train with the Under-21 Academy side. Tonight’s start might mean that he is part of the Leeds United picture after all.
