This fella will improve game by game no worries, he is flourishing under Pep, and let's face it one goal and an assist is what it's all about. Enough said.
 
Right place at the right time. Won the header for the 1st goal aswell. Did what was asked of him today and over the next couple of games he will shine. Different player to Sergio and still young.
 
He has an ability to be in the right place at the right time. He made a mistake in the build up for their goal but other than that he played very well.mit was the right decision to take him off though.
 
Got the goal we needed and assist for Kev....still think his passing needs to improve as a few got away from him but young and still improving. The young lad did well under the pressure today!! All 11 and subs deserve alot of credit for the fight they showed....well happy!; )
 
I must confess I am not really enjoying watching him with the ball at his feet, his technique is pretty poor but boy he is very effective. We might have young Dzeko on our cards here.
 
Right place right time for his goal, has a knack of doing that, top header for the first goal as well. Still not quite with it in regards to the passing game but he has to be given time, 19 years old and starting his first Manchester Derby and scoring what turned out to be the winner, chuffed for him.

I understand why he was taken off but if he'd been on the pitch he would have been there to bury the one that Kev hit against the post in the 2nd half. Did exactly what was needed in Sergio's absence.
 
I thought if he had stayed he would have scored a second or assisted a third. We had all the space in the last quarter but lacked a forward.
 
has that absolute knack (which you cannot teach) of being in the right place at the right time.......like pep said a few weeks ago..he comes alive in the box.
still think he needs to make big strides in other areas of his game but he has time and the right person(s) to learn off
 
When he is on the pitch it feels like we have a good chance of scoring a goal whether it's him or he assists.

A special talent.

Still room for improvement but he is doing very well at this stage of his career.
 
Goal and Assist in his first derby start - his cushioned ball to KDB is underrated imo. I felt his movement in attacking sense was quite intelligent, passing was decent - no worse than aguero. The only thing was his pressing was not always as the other first teamers - but yea, very good again.

Him and GJ will have us set for a good period of time in the future
 
His teammates need to pass him the goddamn ball. Because he rarely got the ball, he probably got a little nervous when it did fall to him somehow. If it was Aguero up there, the lads would make him first option for the pass, but not with Kelechi, who struggled all day to get any service. That must change for the play'er's potential to be realised. If he's the front man, then give him the ball the same way you rush to give Aguero. Many times he was there for the pass but Silva and co would rather play around him to someone else. Wonder what they're scared (or jealous) of.

And the idea by the idiots on Sky News commentary team that the Man U goal was somehow Nacho's fault because a pass he gave at the other end of the field did not reach its target, deserves a simple, ''would you say that rubbish if a Rooney pass had gone astray in the final third, following which the opposing team gained possession and later on went to score on the other end?'' HELL NO YOU WOULDN'T.

Was involved in the goals but also contributed to theirs with yet another poor choice of pass and gave the ball away which lead to them getting the ball where they won the free kick for their goal. Guardiola did his fucking nut at him when he did that.

He made these kind of poor choices a few times today and I think that's why he was taken off.

He does have a knack of being in the right place at the right time though in other instances and if he can iron out his poor aspects he'll be a decent player.
