Decent first half, held it up & laid it off for others.

Anonymous second half.

Feel we don't play to his advantages at all though, as others have said his movement isn't good. We need to get wide & get it in to him, but we don't seem to do that. Add to that he doesn't run in behind & he can disappear from games pretty quickly.

Like the guy but so far just doesn't suit our system.

Was how I saw it, didn't have much to lay it off too, but win nearly every contest first half, faded after half time, but hardly a surprise he's had so little game time, and after an illness that can take a hell of a lot out of you. The sub should have been made 10 minutes early.

That;s about all he does. He's an average big man with a shocking lack of mobility and movement. Doesn't fit in at all and makes you appreciate how lucky we are to have Aguero.
 
Just doesn't fit the system we play. Need someone quick who anticipates through balls and creates space. Kelechi got to be given the chance over the next few games.

Well he has scored 2 & assisted 3 in the last few matches, so it's certainly not all he does.

He'll do fine when we're dominant as shown in the few matches he's had - and will be able to provide a different option Aguero doesn't have with his heading ability.
His problem is in matches like this where he doesn't get much service, he doesn't have the ability to score from nothing that Aguero provides - thus he can look useless.

For me Iheanacho would have been better suited for the match today, playing on the counter we need pace rather than hold up play. Doesn't mean Bony can't be of use to us in certain scenarios though.
 
Guy has been struggling with malaria, injury, and personal problems. He has natural talent, a proven goalscoring record, and will come good for us.
 
Bimbled around up front when he should have been putting Jones and smalling under pressure, fucked up counter attacks with poor quality speed of thought or passing - real passenger today, should have been dragged off sooner.
