Renne 2-0 H Post Match Thread

I ****ing love Albrighton!!!

[filbertway]

2 quality finishes, once again our quality proves to be the difference.

 

Did we purposefully over water the pitch to try and slow them down, knowing how dominant they tend to be in the first 20 minutes?? The pitch was soaking early doors

 

[Bert]

After a shaky start, that was fantastic. Solid at the back, looked good going forward they were shit scared of us. That goal at the end is absolutely HUGE. At 1-0 they score first and it’s back level and nervous again. 2-0 is a lovely Cushion against a side that will cause us problems. Great to see a bit of fight. 

[Shamomoa]

Dnt think I've heard Albrighton do many interviews loved him for years but he's quite common 🤣 love it.

I have slated Rodgers for his subs this season, but he's been spot on with them recently.

I really hope people start putting a bit more respect on Albrightons name.

 

I understand people getting frustrated at players here and there but this lad deserves so much better than what he gets on here.

Who doesn’t respect him? I’ve never known any Leicester fan to do anything other than worship the guy. If there are Leicester fans who don’t get him then they’re not worth listening to..

Really impressive, 2-0 and that Kelechi goal is very important in the context of this tie, 2 excellent finishes and solid defensively.

 

4 wins on the bounce now and 3 clean sheets, we've got that important momentum as we move into the business end of the season.

[copunk]

I’m eating humble pie atm but long may it continue, cracking win but more then anything i felt it was a great performance all over the pitch, looking somewhat near back to our best 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Isn't winning a lovely feeling. Just feels like we might be building at last. Players coming back and competing for their place. Roll on the Emirates. Time for a different ending to our normal story there. 

[Babylon]

Fine performance in the end… long may it continue.

[Jakemoore]

So glad to see BR seems to have learnt from putting Vestergaard on when we’re only up by the odd goal.

Now, as has been said, Rennes have low periods, often during the same match. The player we wonder about the most is the goalkeeper, Gomis, not always very inspired, and not decisive enough.

 

You were dead on about your team's flaws.  Your keeper looked like the weakest link.  Your actual goals conceded must be much higher than your xG allowed.

 

As it happens, we have a keeper with a couple of dozen caps for a major * European country on our bench.  You could probably have him in a straight-up trade for Doku or Majer.  Think about it!

Brilliant result and 3 clean sheets on the bounce!! Great goal by Albrighton too… happy days!

[Leicester_Loyal]

Fair play, Rodgers and the boys making me eat my words, long may it continue. Hopefully can get a decent result over there, would be gutted to not go through now with a 2 goal lead.

.....there is enough posters on here that has not been too positive about Albrighton!!!

Every player has had that tag placed around their neck, you just cannot say that he has not had a beating on here in previous seasons.

Nacho. Once again. Another goal. When does he get a run as a starter?????

Agreed.Daka may as well not been on the pitch

[ceredigion]

Anyone who is tempted to mock this competition should remember that between 1982 when we reached the FA Cup semi final and 1997 when we won the League Cup, our only cup run of any significance was in 1990/91 when we got to the Northern Area semi final of the Zenith Data Systems Cup.  And we took it very seriously too, the club and the supporters. In those days you didn't rest players for ZDS Cup matches. The 1st team had to play and they were expected to play their arses off too and leave everything on the pitch.

 

If you doubt my word, you  should check the footage of us away at Notts County in the Northern Area Quarter Final. We took 10,000 fans to the game on a terrible night of wind and rain. And we pulled off a rare giant killing too because Notts County were a 1st Division side then and we were 2nd Division.

Quick summary of the game:

 

 

 

Highlight of my long time on here suggesting this gif  

[The Quick Brown Fox]

After the first 15/20 minutes I was thinking, here we go again. Then we started playing and Barnes did a Barnes and we looked sooo much better for a good half an hour of the game. Nachos goal gives us something to hold onto going away, I just hope this doesn't put defence at the forefront of Brendan's mind and we go and attack them. 

 

Positive subs give us a positive result, who'd have thought it? Great that a few of the subs were involved in the last minute goal at the right end. 

 

Lastly, how bad was that ref? Absolutely shocking.

I think they should make a combine statue of that team outside the stadium with all of the winners in it personally. Vardy will get a stand, statue and maybe even stadium named after him, Kasper probably the same, but players like Morgan, Huth, Albrighton, Fuchs should be recognised IMO. Such likable players!

Vardy already has a stand named after him, at Stocksbridge. Need to top that - name the bloody town after him.

...we will have to go there next week and forget the scoreline!!!

We need to win the next leg, if we choose to go and try not to lose, we probably will. The temptation will be to look to defend the lead, if that is the mentality at least make it a positive plan to play on the counter, as opposed to trying to defend the lead.

[Guest David Oldfields Gate]

Got a feeling that second goal will be massive.

 

Eurostar me baby.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what is said on FT!  I ignore my own posts as they are largely nonsense!
