'Stop being stubborn Poch', 'Lo Celso masterclass incoming' - Spurs fans on team vs Man City

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been giving their opinions on Mauricio Pochettino's chosen starting XI to face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Argentine left Jan Vertonghen out of his squad to face Aston Villa and the Belgian only returns to the bench for the match against the Premier League champions with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez continuing their partnership at the back.

Christian Eriksen does return to the starting line-up but Lucas Moura drops out with Erik Lamela retaining his place.

New signing Giovani Lo Celso takes his place on the bench alongside Lucas.

Spurs fans have been vocal in their opinions on the team selection, most unhappy with the lack of pace and Vertonghen as they face the likes of Sterling, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Ageuro.
