Tottenham Hotspur have showcased their versatility with a variety of formations this term.
Michael Dawson in action during his Spurs days
Ex-Spurs captain Michael Dawson sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, and highlighted how impressive his former side look when playing three centre-backs along with two wing-backs.
Mauricio Pochettino has experimented with a variety of formations and tactics this season, and arguably his side have been at their best when playing the 3-4-2-1 system.
And Dawson, who spent nine years with Tottenham, raved about the manner in which his former club have gone about their business so far this season, sharing how he loves the way they setup with three centre-backs flanked by two wing-backs, when speaking to TottenhamHotspur.com:
“Tactically, it looks like the manager is sticking with three at the back. He played it occasionally earlier in the season but now we see it most weeks. That three at the back with Dier, Alderweireld and Vertonghen. I love the way they are set-up with the two wing-backs. This time it was Davies and Trippier, it has been Walker and Rose.”

The Lilywhites are currently sitting in second position in the Premier League table, albeit a distant 10 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea, and there is genuine belief at White Hart Lane that the current group of players are in a position to bring the glory days back to the club.
And with a five game run against teams inside the bottom 11 of the league table, they have every chance to exert some pressure on Antonio Conte’s men.
