An assist already. 

I thought the same, went down as a Perez assist in the end. Think he got the tiniest of touches before it ended up at the back post apparently.

Did well cutting in from the left and getting a shot away. If he wants to make it at Chelsea he needs to learn that in that position the right move is to pass back to our keeper and not shoot...

 

So...bout that Kenedy fella ay?

He’s no Alex Sandro

Kenedy's touches vs Crystal Palace

Why am i not surprised that Smalling is grabbing a player in that thumbnail?

Players with short sleeve tops with gloves just looks silly. If you are going to wear gloves wear long sleeve top.

SOme people have bad circulation in their extremities, but the arms are fine.

Like a boss

Got a brace today, impressive performance further up the pitch.

Good control and finish.

Good to see him doing well at Newcastle. I have always liked him and thought there is a player there. He has only recently turned 22 so still a very young lad with more potential. He has the size to help him as well. Also like his directness with the ball and has a good technique on him. Hopefully he plays a big part in keeping Newcastle up and we see from there what happens but very good early signs.

I think Conte was hoping to do the same thing he did with Moses and convert him to a wing back, but with disappointing results. He looked good for Newcastle playing on the left wing however he's nowhere near challenging Hazard for that position. Even if he continues to impress for Newcastle I find it hard to imagine Kenedy ever being more than a squad player for us.

Good for him, if he keeps performing that's good for us, he might have a future here. 

You can't deny he has a lot of potential in his offensive game. 

It's a win-win for us, either he comes back as a valued squad player or we cash in and thanks to performances  like that get a better return.

Newcastle want him permanently and were interested in Lascelles, a deal might be done.

Kenedy sets up Ayoze Perez for a goal

 

A successful loan for him, very happy for him also.

Another good performance yesterday.. so many players not used by conte - Kennedy, Batshuayi, Ruben, Ake etc doing well elsewhere...says a lot and doesn't reflect well on moaning Minnie 

Kenedy, like Batshuayi, has been mostly poor when he's played for us. To say they were not used is just wrong. The only difference with Kenedy is we tended to play him out of position at wing back when he's clearly more comfortable on the left wing, and unfortunately for him that position happens to belong to Hazard. Glad he's doing well though, clearly the loan was the right move. 

Pedro out, Kenedy in next season?

Oh please...the two of them were given bits and pieces under Conte...just look at the amount of starts they had between them. Imagine playing for a coach you know doesn't rate or trust you and will never give you a run in the side? Then in contrast going to clubs where you know the coach rates you and will give you a chance...that's what's happened to bats and Kennedy at Dortmund and Newcastle respectively and they look good players...are they the finished article? Of course not..,but given Conte has moaned constantly about the quality of his squad, he deserves criticism for not making the most of and alienating players he did have.

 

and it can be argued that the quality of displays by players like Pedro and Morata this season, these two should have played more here anyway.
