Mourinho’s 4-2-3-1 formation with Gareth Bale at Spurs
Bale, if he moves to Spurs is expected to take up the right-wing position which has been his favoured role ever since he moved to Real Madrid. He will give Spurs the much needed attacking threat and creativity in the final third which they have been missing. Their performance against Everton in their first game of the season was disappointing and their attacking output was completely nullified. Mourinho knows that he needs to add more flair and creativity to this team, especially in midfield but a fit and firing Gareth Bale can solve their attacking woes.
