Looked it up, that’s not true but ok.
Are we really putting 8 goals up here like it’s something? Did last year not happen?
I’m at a loss as to what Gallagher brings to a side of his best asset is just an ok 8 goals. I do t even know what the argument is supposed to be
I wish you’d present your points objectively instead of trying to win through with things that make what you’re saying incredulous. In what universe is 8 goals,
from midfield, for a low-end club, ‘just OK’? It’s an
exceptional tally at that level, it’s even a good tally for a top 3-6 club, backed by how few central midfielders get near that amount, even attacking midfielders are doing well with 8 non PK goals, so I can’t believe you’re not being disingenuous when you present that - alongside a 22-year old not getting coaching or guidance in a season far more experienced and regarded players wilted in - as your arguments against.
McTominay was robbed of crucial development time during a shambolic run of coaches and squads as well as managerial mishaps; it is always a valid point to make for younger players and I don’t believe you don’t know that.
Also, how can you be at a loss to what he was providing Palace? Do you have posts from the time to back that; do you really believe it or are you saying it for impact?
It’s odd to denigrate a young midfielder for thriving in a set up that got the best out of him and even for falling back into the pack at a relatively massive club where bigger names fell from a loftier regard than he did last season.
We can espouse and opine on both, to the positive and negative, but to try and disregard wholly just comes across as intentional bad faith presentation.
