'The Parrott era begins!' - Spurs fans love what Mauricio Pochettino has done vs Colchester

Mauricio Pochettino's team selection for this evening's Carabao Cup third round tie against Colchester United has got a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans talking.

As expected, there's no room for deadline day signings Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon in the squad.

The Argentine picked up an injury whilst on international duty earlier in the month and isn't expected back until November, while the latter suffered a setback regarding his hamstring problem last week.

But Pochettino has rotated his squad.

And that means first-team debuts for Troy Parrott and Japhet Tanganga who both impressed in pre-season.

Meanwhile, there's a return to first-team action for Juan Foyth.

Those to drop completely include Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele, while Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela and Son Heung-min.

In total Pochettino has made 10 changes to the side which lost 2-1 away at Leicester City in the Premier League at the weekend as goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga is the only survivor.

Spurs line-up: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies, Dier (C), Wanyama, Skipp, Dele, Lucas, Parrott

Most of the reaction from Spurs supporters on social media has centred around the inclusion of Parrott.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...
