'This should be fun' 'Very excited' – Tottenham fans rave over Pochettino decision v Swansea
Tottenham fans have taken to social media to react to news that manager Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to start Erik Lamela for their clash against Swansea City on Tuesday.
Spurs revealed their starting XI via their official Twitter account, the Argentinian manager making four changes from the side which thrashed Southampton 5-2 on Boxing Day.
Harry Kane, Danny Rose, Serge Aurier and Mousa Dembele all drop out of the team, with Fernando Llorente, Ben Davies, Kieran Trippier and Lamela all taking their places.
Among the changes it was the inclusion of the Argentine attacker, with the 25-year-old making first start in four games, which had the Tottenham faithful excited on Twitter.

Since returning from a serious hip injury, Lamela has made seven appearances this season, all coming in the Premier League, although only one has been among the starting XI.
Following the festive fixtures in England’s top flight, Spurs were left sitting sixth, but know that three points on Tuesday could see them leapfrog north London rivals Arsenal into fifth, with the visit to the Liberty Stadium a game in hand over the Gunners, and it would leave them four points behind Liverpool in fourth, with another game in hand over the Reds.
Swansea meanwhile started the new year sitting at the bottom of the pile in the Premier League, with West Brom’s 1-1 draw against Arsenal on New Year’s Eve pushing them to the foot of the table, despite Carlos Carvalhal’s side securing a 2-1 win over Watford in his first match as manager of the struggling club.
