“How Oliver Glasner Rebuilt His 3-4-2-1 at Nottingham Forest by Turning McAtee into His New” — what this page in the network covers. Oliver Glasner’s move from Crystal Palace to Nottingham Forest wasn’t just a change of scenery—it was a mission to recreate the tactical identity that made his Eagles side so effective. Central to that plan is the 3-4-2-1 formation, a system that relies on a deep-lying playmaker to control tempo and break lines. At Selhurst Park, Adam Wharton filled that role brilliantly.

McAtee, known for his technical ability and vision, is being molded into the midfield metronome that Wharton was for Palace.
