is he our new "Fabregas"? he really comfort when controll and deliver the ball....

Cesc is probably a good example however there are slight differences. Personally I do not think he has Cesc's range of passing from deep to deliver through balls as consistently, however he has more pace and athleticism than Cesc and will also get stuck in. For me he may end up like a Cesc/Wise hybrid.

He also had a passing accuracy of 91%

I saw a lot of people say he had a bad game. I don't think so. He competed against palace throughout the game, infact part of palace tactics was Benteke staying beside Gilmour to win goalkicks and Gilmour fought on despite the height difference. He made crucial tackles and was always there for the defence.

Gilmour has been blamed for the first goal, but James lost the ball again and there were two palace players running free on our right flank, Gilmour had to cover the spaces than to allow our centerback vacate his position. Gilmour blocked the pass but the ball unfortunately falls to zaha who hits a shot from 30 yards centrally that Kepa should have got his hands on.

Palace were physical and Gilmour helped to restrict palace from creating any meaningful chances while on the pitch, even though Palace had a gameplan to target Gilmour throughout.

You can see that when he came off and Palace stopped sitting back and really attacked us in the last few minutes we nearly conceded 3 goals.

No none who saw the natch yesterday can say that was an assured performance. It was absolute chaos. And Gilmour in the middle of it. We could not control the midfield to save our lives. Getting overrun. Also only 37 of 81 touches forward how is that a good stat.
