Should have been used much more this season

Good game. Was a presence. No weakness in his play.movement .technique are great. Star quality. He needs to score from starting. The confidence will come.20 goals a season easy peasy.

Gets man of the match so no doubt pellers will drop for the next game and keep Fernando in!

its a massive step up from the none physical u21`s to the prem but this lad is doing great

Would have been nailed on to score if he'd stayed on imo, as we inevitably started cashing in on Palace having to chase the game. But I can accept Pellegrini's reasoning that the team was becoming short of height/presence aerially & this is also still something Bony has over Kelechi at this stage, & a factor in the Prem, whether we like it or not.

But I did notice one leap from Kelechi 1st half (got nowhere near the ball!) where he was absolutely head & shoulders above his marker. It wouldn't surprise me if Kelechi is also going to become a bit of a demon in the air a well as he gets older.

I think it's just down to playing time personally.

It takes time to adjust, then kids can do it. We don't play them in the first place, so we don't find that out & are scared of it.

I watched him closely today.

Movement.movement.movement. I am sure kdb and Silva love that shit. I hope the requests come from those2 in choosing nacho over bony

i was worried if nacho didnt get enough game time this season he might wither on the vine. hope full he`ll get more time on the pitch which will improve his strength and stamina, he`ll be awesome.

Just glad he finally got his start. He earned that.

He's going to be a great player for us. One also that I think will thrive under Pep.

His defensive contribution was also very impressive, something we lacked since Negredo left. Much easier to defend when forwards are pressing and blocking passing options
