Took his chance and deserves more starts.

Well done Kelechi

Did people actually watch him today? He didn't score but his performance was a lot better than just okay. Delph and Fernando were the only ones better than him today. His movement was extremely good, always offered himself and protects the ball superbly. The formation with Silva and KDB narrow meant it was fairly hard for him and Sergio to link up with anyone particularly well, needed a Navas/Sterling on the pitch to get the most out of the front two but everything he did he did very well and in my eyes shown he should be getting far more game time and starts than he's currently getting.

I thought his movement was excellent today, so much promise there.

 

[BlueTG]

Good assist today.

i think we were just ok today ,dont get me wrong im pleased with the result and clean sheet,but and of course its only my opinion, fernando in the middle what does he do ? sorry just a small gripe ,like i said bottem line great result

 

[cucumberman]

His positional play off the ball is something else. He was unplayable at times and won most of the duels.

 

[yatesy94]

Some excellent ball control skills displayed today. Mature beyond his years he's going to turn into a fine player if he keeps up this performance level. Now sign on that dotted sign Kelechi son!

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Great young player

Great young player

Isnt he just, lot of people round me chuffed to bits he started an he was great. Really glad pellegrini listened to what people were telling him.

 

[sir baconface]

Didn't mind him coming off because he was given a proper run-out today. That's all people have been asking for.

Another step forward. So pleased he's a Blue.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Did really well today, looked bright and made good movement off the ball.

A breath of fresh air.

 

[quiet_riot]

Bizarre that at 2-0 up and cruising, he gets hauled off. Should have got 90 mins IMO

 

[itisrising]

An assist today in a exciting run-out. I was pretty strong with how strong he seemed, he was winning aerial duels against big defenders. Can't wait for more apperances!

I think that's normal for a young player being groomed.

 

[Gabriel]

Played well in the first-half, but there were a couple of occasions at the start of the second when he failed to keep possession when the ball was played up to him. That's happened before, and as soon as Pellegrini sees that his time is up.

About right. A top prospect. Even more so with Sterling. Both need nurturing.

 

[g180aj]

Just behind Delph for me, did everything very well today and I thought he deserved another 10-15mins seemed like we'd only just come out after half time.

Reminds me of Dennis Tueart

That's a nice compliment .
I was impressed with him today .
For a young lad he's got bags of confidence .
