Happy Fox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gally isn't a battler he won't fight for the ball or retain possession against the so called lesser sides, I think the fact he doesn't have an out and out position makes it more difficult we need wingers on either side not players that can adapt in those positions out and out wingers, another position we need to rectify is the centre of midfield a defensive midfielder is a must.

ScouseFox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gally can be immense..... He can also be utterly shite...... God knows we need consistently good players.... 750k? I'd snap their arms off.... Yep, let's sell everyone who's not consistently good. Cracker of an idea. My squad for next season is looking something like this: 1) Kasper 3) Konchesky Just the 30 new players who are guaranteed to perform well every week please Nigel. Not asking too much, I hope.

MGLCFC Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 But Gally only performs 1 in 5 and when the going gets tough he whimps out. I don't deny he is technically good, scores wonder goals but his overall team input week in week out is more miss than hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 We need a more physical midfield, he isn't a natural winger and doesn't get stuck in. It's time for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFox781 Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Has a good game one every five? Surely it more like one good game in nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 I was trying to be as generous as possible as I don't hate or boo Gallagher, he just frustrates me particularly when we need all hands to the deck and he is often found wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Still scored 10 goals this year, more than anyone else bar the two strikers. In half the games compared to everyone else. And a large amount of the games he did play in he was clearly carrying an injury. He can go a whole season without crunching someone or winning a defensive header for all i care, if he still scores double figures from midfield in about half a season i'd have him in my squad every day of the week.

MGLCFC Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 How many were pens? how many times did he go missing that cost goals - being a midfielder is not only about scoring goals, it's about stopping the opposition too - to often Gally has left Peltier exposed at right back.

I wouldn't even put those two in the frame for 'consistency'... Therein lies the problem. You make my argument for me. We need a consistently good team with consistently good performances to go up.

Happy Fox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gally, Wellens, Dyer are the perennial problem for the midfield if they feature we more than likely don't do well, quite surprised NP hasn't bought a winger or a defensive midfielder yet but their is still plenty time.

ScouseFox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Then you have confirmed the suspicions I have long had about you. ie you are a dick splash! . Why? Because I like forward players that score goals not forward players that win tackles? You can go through the best wingers in the world if you want and tell me how often they put in crunching tackles. Go on. You know, seen as that's the main thing you need from a winger to be successful. Messi? Tough tackler. Ronaldo? Loves to go in hard on his fellow winger. Robben? A beast in the air and simply a sensation when it comes to tracking back. Even the best wingers in this league. Tom Ince? Crunching tackle after crunching tackle. Jimmy Kebe? I can't remember the last time I watched the Football League show and he wasn't making goal line clearances. Do you want me to carry on? These wingers provide goals. Lots of goals. And some assists too. Forwards/wingers in the past who we've had who fit the description you're after... Huuuuume. Where's he now? Oh yeah, League One. He got another team in this league relegated the other year and has played a part in their massively successful bottom half finish in League One. This is the last I'll say in the thread (unless someone, presumably Col City Fox, says something so stupid it warrants a response). I really hope we keep Gally, and he scores 10+ goals AGAIN next year. If he stays fit he'll have even more. Terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gallagher is hardly Messi, neither is he a forward - he's a midfielder, alledgedly. Part of that role is to cover his full back, which he rarely achieves. Football is a team sport that involves all 11 players being able to cintribute when it's back to the wall time. Luckily for Messi, Barcelona are very rarely in that situation. Unfortunately for Gallagher Leicester are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's he? lol If you are comparing Gally to those wingers you mentioned you are even more daft that I thought! I'd love Tom Ince at City and would swap him for Gally at the drop of a hat. Gally isn't a BAD player but he's too inconsistent and even he doesn't know where his best position is? It definitely isn't on the wing. Again, come back to me when you have something worth reading.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stourbridgefox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gallagher also had a lot of assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basildon Fox Posted 19 May 2012 Share Posted 19 May 2012 Gallagher needs to be played just behind a lone striker next season to be at his best. If we are not going to play him like that then we will get the same as we have had from him in the previous 2 1/2 seasons where he has 1 good game in 5. Lets face it he can not cover or tackle properly and he does not have the strength or pace to be a striker. What he can do though is create, pass and score absolute screamers. If NP is not going to play him in that role next season then he will be better off elsewhere for both Leicester and himself. Still think he will end up back at Blackburn.

Filbert4 Posted 20 May 2012 Share Posted 20 May 2012 I would personally like gallagher to stay. I think just a change of position would make a big difference and we would see a totally different player. I think Gallagher is a creative player, playing in the wrong position. I believe he scored 14 goals while on loan at Plymouth. An asset to the team. I've never booed any player and never will. Up the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 20 May 2012 Share Posted 20 May 2012 But what position? He's played out wide and up front to little effect and if you are going to play him in the hole behind the attackers, then Marshall is more effective at that role. Unfortunately for Gally, his is a bit of a Jack of all trades and master of none. Great technical ability, good crosser, great dead ball specialist, yet lacking in pace, can't head or tackle and is often woeful in his positional play in relation to defensive duties.

chris_lcfc_85 Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 Gally is technically superb, we all know that and i like the lad. However, he's very inconsistent so maybe its time to part ways? I've no doubt he'll go elsewhere and do a good job but we probably need to aim higher plus maybe his time with us as just run its course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
