You get the feeling that at some point, Barnes will click and be a phenomenal inside forward.

Matt Targett playing at this level is one of the great mysteries of sport.

Here's the goal again:

Reina had a rush of blood, but that is a great finish. Brilliant composure to find the gap.

[twister]

this team cant hit a barndoor

 

great performence first half but the finishing does concern me 

[M0901]

Albrighton superb so far

[Guest Umbungo78]

Great goal by Barnes, the touch to take it past Reina was sublime

DD looking sober.

Amazing what alcohol can do for the hair line.

Maybe next season son.

[Foxxed]

Soyuncu. Player of the season for me. Just ahead of Ricardo and Ndidi.

[Aus Fox]

Really good half, best for a long time. Really could be 3 or 4 up here and it wouldn’t flatter us.

Everyone playing their role, some better finishing and it’s game over.

[Chester Dontlie]

We seem to be more agressive than in recent outings, good to see

INTENSITEEE!!!

[djskydiver]

Pepe Reina 

[copunk]

Albrightons been terrific tonight, was worried when i seen him starting but hes really put in a cracking shift, justin brilliant so far, fearless going forward and flys into the challenge, good half and performance from the lads so far, please please please keep it up

[Mark]

Praet is clearly a good passer he just needs to speed it up a bit, then we create openings like when he tackled and passed first time to Barnes.

 

Thwse are rubbish we surely can’t not beat these

[kingfox]

Praet and Ndidi have been dominating

Justin has looked good

Nice assist from Albrighton but overall the right side has been sloppy

Iheanacho working hard but slightly isolated for my liking, he is more effective in a two

Pretty fearful, Barnes needs to step up today because I’ve no idea who’s going to create chances. 

Barnes 🥰

[Countryfox]

Should have buried em by now but much better performance ..  JJ looking good and the urgency is back ...  

[Leicester_Loyal]

Let's not forget the great work before the goal by Iheanacho too, won possession and didn't give up.

[KingsX]

Best thing about this has been the way we have been first to the 50-50 balls, and getting stuck in in defense.

Exactly what we have not been showing lately!

How anyone can criticize our midfield after that 45' is beyond me.

 

[Brooksy]

Have they been in our half since the 5th minute?

[Corky]

Barnes took his goal really well, yes the keeper was terrible but to take a good touch and slide it in between defenders was excellent.

[Tanya]

After a very nervy start we settled into the game nicely.

 

Thrilled Harvey got his goal. Such a pitcher's instinct.  I think Justin has been excellent too.  We are a much better team with Wilf in it. And I have been ultra critical of him this year but I'm always thrilled when Marc Albrighton proves me wrong: he is looking dangerous tonight. 

 

Looking forward to Youri and Vardy getting some gametime too.

 

C'mon lads. 

[Bert]

I cannot believe they haven’t gone three at the back. 

[jayfox26]

Alot of people on here can go overboard with there comments and I wont get dragged into that. However, anything less than 3 points tonight and we should consider folding the club. Villa are absolutely honking! 

[Tom12345]

Praet and Ndidi are playing brilliantly in midfield. Would love to see Tielemans come in for Maddison and see how those three will do. Maddison is trying but he is just not very effective.
