Was gobsmacked when Pellegrini said he wasn't an out and out striker. His goal against Palace suggests otherwise as does his run for the goal tonight. He has the hunger, movement, pace and nouse that even Bony who is a seasoned premier league striker does not have.

Gonna be some player.

Maybe, Manuel is putting out a subtle challenge to the lad to prove him wrong?
 
This is not having a go at Bony but the pace and movement this guy brought to the forward line when he came on was there for all to see. No coincidence that we scored three after he came on. Going to be very very special and he has to start more games now.
 
Sharp as a tack when he came on. Showed a great touch and awareness, played some great balls, tracked back and was (once again) clinical in front of goal. Time to give him a run of games.
 
My commentator kept calling him Cameron Matthews last night. No idea why?

He was brilliant when he came on, he's definitely a #9, you can see it with both his movement and his finishing, such well timed runs into the box.

To be fair to Bony, the lad had acres of space to play in after we went 2 up, it wasn't just his own doing.

Bony is at a crossroads in his career and rotating the two is the wise thing to do. Hopefully Bony just needs to rediscover that belief he has obviously lost.

Kelechi is a special talent and I hope he is happy with the way he is being treated by Pellers. From what I see and hear he is.

I do believe he is far better ( as a player and for the team) than Bony but maybe it's best he isn't just thrown in and Bony is given his chances.

Yea I agree. Kelechi is still very raw and uses a lot of energy up running about when he plays. Using bony to stand there for 80 mons then bringing Kelechi on to run tired legs ragged worked a treat really. Looking forward to the days where Kelechi is experienced enough to start but for now starting bony and bringing Kelechi on when Aguero is injured is probably the best way to a proactive most games
