4-3-1-2
If wingers are not Pochettino’s thing, then perhaps 4-3-1-2 is the one?
A genuine three-man midfield would help Spurs win the key battles in the centre of the park and also give licence for the attack-minded full-backs to get forward.
One key advantage to 4-3-1-2 over 4-4-2 is that Christian Eriksen, who is arguably Tottenham’s best outfield player, could almost be given a free role.
