“He’s a monster, his attributes will suit Potter’s system” – Journalist believes 22-years-old star will fits Potter’s system
Conor Gallagher, according to journalist Tom Barclay, would be a good fit for new Chelsea manager Graham Potter’s ambitions.
At the beginning of the 2022-23 season, Gallagher returned to Stamford Bridge following a productive loan stint at Crystal Palace. The midfielder scored eight goals and provided three assists for the Eagles in 34 Premier League games during the previous season.
His return to Chelsea hasn’t exactly gone well, though. Although his performance was patchy under former Blues manager Thomas Tuchel, Barclay thinks it will do better under new manager Potter. According to the Sun reporter, GiveMeSport:
“He has played, even with that red card. There has obviously been a change of manager now and Graham Potter has come in.”
Barclay added: “It’s up to him to win Potter over, as it’ll be for all of the Chelsea players. But, when you actually look at Gallagher’s attributes, I think he really could suit Graham Potter.”
Gallagher played only six minutes across his side’s first two league fixtures before starting their third match in a sobering 3-0 defeat against Leeds United.
The Englishman was named in the playing XI once again for their match against Leicester City, but was sent off after just 28 minutes. He then played 60 minutes during their derby win against West Ham United, which was former Tuchel’s last Premier League match in charge of the Blues.
Gallagher was left on the bench for his side’s UEFA Champions League opener, a 1-0 defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb. He is yet to register a goal or assist this season.
