ANGE Postecoglou's game strategy with Brisbane Roar is based on a real commitment to attack, and he has stayed true to this despite losing quality players.

Brisbane play in a 4-3-3 formation. The front three play high with two wide (Meyer and Nakajima-Farran) and one central striker (Berisha).

Two players play in behind as attacking midfielders, Broich on the left and Nichols on the right. One player is both defensive and creative in the centre of midfield and plays in an anchoring role (Paartalu).

The defensive back line is a flat four and plays a very high offside line. Both fullbacks (Stefanutto and Franjic) are encouraged to join almost every attack and rarely tuck-in behind the centre-backs when the team is in attacking mode.
