Great win tonight cos Renne are definitely a good side.

Our ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ personality is currently at Mr Jekyll again… we are playing some good stuff. Barnes is on fire, Little Wes is waiting round the corner. 
Let’s just hope Mr Hyde don’t pop up again at Everton. They are awful and we are playing well again, so let’s stuff em!

Shall we focus on getting past Arsenal first

Big Dan has been immense in recent games. He's kept it simple and his defending has been no nonsense and very effective. If it needs to be smashed out of the ground that's what he's done, Huth style. 

As always, I’ll give credit where it’s due and I think Big Dan has been looking so much more confident recently. I think this IS partly helped by the fact that Wilf is back on great form, but let’s not detract from the fact that both Amartey and Soyuncu are finally looking a good pairing. 
I…..just…..hope…..it…..continues…. We are such a bizarre side for consistency!

My bad… of course… Arsenal are waiting 👍

I reckon Rennes would have been happy with a 1-0 loss, 2-0 gives us a slight advantage. Still everything to play for.

What struck me was the sense of occasion throughout

 

The rennes fans doing the posnan in the ground 90 minutes before the game, the best support I've heard in our end for a while also. 

 

Albrighton and barnes were both brilliant and also cags and amartey were commanding throughout.

 

A couple of things I noticed. When maddison came on he took a free kick and it hit the first man and albrighton showed a reaction to it. Then when we got a corner albrighton took it suggesting he will be taking them going forward. 

 

Also maddison giving his boots to the young pitch invader was a nice touch

 

Not a bad night for a competition no one cares about

We should care about it ,if we win the this then we will be in the Europe league next season.

Can’t believe there was about 50 or so rennes fans all wearing club shirts in b1, anywhere else in the stadium and there would have been trouble 

Every club is entitled to those tickets via UEFA regs but this was the first club to use them.

His reading of the game has improved. Allows Soyuncu to be a bit more front foot with heading

Sweet performance from Albrighton, you rarely see 32-year olds running that hard. He is a superb team player.

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 don’t get the comment “after the first 15/20....here we go again”

 

Standard start for Leicester in plenty of games over the years. The key thing to remember is that the match lasts 90 minutes and we will get our moments. Obviously dig in and don’t concede. I wasn’t bothered at all after 20 mins because I thought no worries if that’s the best you’ve got, now it’s our turn.

 

Personally I worry more when we start off like a house on fire because I know we will likely run out of steam.

What was the official attendance today? Didn’t hear it announced and can’t find it in any match reports.

Yeah seem to remember one of the visiting teams in the CL season having a few over in that section. I wanna say Copenhagen or Sevilla?

 

Think you’ll find they’re either Corporate or Players Families tickets from the opposition club.

[Heskey2011]

When we were under the cosh at the start, that all changed when Kasper opted to go long instead from goal kicks, took the pressure off imo, really good leadership that was, and a couple decent saves with his feet 👏👏👏

[Vacamion]

 

That was my first attendance watching Leicester City live since the pre-season game in Glasgow versus Celtic in 2016 and my first visit to the King Power to watch City since Sven Goran Eriksson was the manager.  

 

 

The first 20 minutes was a bit painful, and Rennes were never going to be able to keep up that pressing for very long, but they look a class outfit.

 

The Ref was bloody awful, too. A kind of Europa Conference Mike Dean, if you will.

 

However, otherwise, that was really thoroughly enjoyable experience with a lively atmosphere.

What a stonking thunder goal from Marc Albrighton.

 

Can't wait to watch that one back.

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

 

First thing I noticed in the opening minutes and posted that the pitch was absolutely saturated.

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

Vardyville. Has a musical ring.

Don’t know you mate, but that’s a great picture 😃👍

Didn't like the look of Hamza at RB. There was a moment when he put the ball out for a corner and it was given as a goal kick. The look on his face said he knew he got away with it. Big Dan covered for him a few times and Marc had to have a word.

Good performance. Rennes look a very good side, but lacked cutting edge tonight and a few wayward passes. After the opening twenty minutes we worked it out and took control of the game. Fantastic first goal, thumping finish from Albrighton. A couple of dicey moments second half. That second goal could be huge, delighted to get it as I couldn’t see us getting a second tonight. You could see Rennes disappointment at conceding it. Rennes fans were good and the singing section did wonders for the occasion. Four straight wins is a huge improvement in recent weeks. Performances are getting better. The defence is more composed and confident. Sunday will be a tough test, but get through that and there’s a big opportunity to progress in this competition. Things are looking up 🦊💙

Said exactly the same thing, after a minute or two Cags slammed the ball over to Amartey and got showered in the process. Definitely a tactic 

[Gamble92]

So the lad who runs on the pitch at Forest gets a ban and prison, lad who ran on tonight gets Madders boots.

 

No consistency in this game.

Can see your point until……. At Forest he hit a Forest player 🙄 Doesn’t matter who he hit but he hit somebody

I actually think he did pretty well tonight, made some important tackles and interceptions.

Although I agree with the sentiment, thought he was absolutely dog at RB against Leeds.
