How Glasner turned McAtee into his new Wharton
Story updated
The story in brief
27-second readWhen Oliver Glasner moved to Nottingham Forest after departing Crystal Palace, he tasked himself with replicating the 3-4-2-1 system that worked so well at Selhurst Park.
A key part of that set-up are the two central midfielders. "We call them the quarterbacks," said Glasner last season and at Palace. The Austrian had the perfect quarterback in Adam Wharton.
Defensively astute but also influential and creative in attack. As well as finding the Forest version of Wharton, he also had to replace the Man City-bound Elliot Anderson - heartbeat of the team - in that same area of the pitch.
