'Finally, what a team!' - Spurs fans love what Mauricio Pochettino has done vs Red Star Belgrade

Giovani Lo Celso has been named in the Tottenham starting XI for the very first time following his summer move to the club.

The Argentine has had to make do with six substitute appearances for the Lilywhites so far after picking up a hip injury on international duty back in September.

With Christian Eriksen really struggling for form at present and looking way off his best, Mauricio Pochettino has decided to name the player in his team to take on Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.

Having beaten Vladan Milojevic's side 5-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium two weeks ago, it will be a totally different game altogether in Serbia due to the incredibly hostile atmosphere.

Liverpool were in action at the Rajko Mitic Stadium 12 months ago and they did end up falling to a 2-0 defeat despite beating their opponents 4-0 at Anfield in the previous game.

A win for Spurs and it will put them in a very good position to go through in the group with two games remaining after a tough start to the competition.

Fans will be hoping that Lo Celso can drive them on to a crucial three points against Red Star and the news that Eriksen is on the bench has also gone down extremely well with some.

Here's what they've had to say about a start for Lo Celso and a place on the bench for Eriksen.
