Forest overturn Liverpool at Anfield with Dyche’s long ball plan as Wharton shines again
Nottingham Forest earned a vital 3-0 win at Anfield.
It marks back-to-back league wins at Anfield for Forest, a first since 1963.
Sean Dyche’s plan was deployed in full.
The Forest boss explained, “We changed the tactical side today. We are not passing it, we are going long, because Liverpool were going to press the life out of you.”
The players delivered a disciplined performance that mixed long balls with precise build up.
Forest’s approach neutralised Liverpool’s press and sustained momentum into the second half.
Wharton stood out with quality in possession and movement into space.
Arne Slot continues to face questions about Liverpool’s direction as the season unfolds.
Forest offered restraint, focus and menace, and the result spoke for itself.
