Ange Postecoglou explains his Tottenham formation plans and what's better than winning mentality

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has been discussing how his formation will work next season, how fluid it will be and why there is something more important than a winning mentality to him.

The Australian has often used a 4-3-3 formation and occasionally a 4-2-3-1 across his career and during a Q&A with fans this week, as he undertakes his first pre-season with Spurs, Postecoglou was asked what formation will best suit his team during this coming Premier League season.

"I think if you look at my career I play different formations. A lot depends on the players you have at your disposal and I've got this place in terms of football where I just think set formations are not quite a thing of the past, but there's such fluidity in football these days, especially at the highest level like the Premier League, you really need players who are able to perform multiple functions and roles within the side," said the 57-year-old.
