I would have thought that after an amazing triumph like last season, it would be inevitable that a few members of the Leicester squad would have returned to pre season training suffering from swollen head syndrome and I daresay it must be nearly impossible to recapture the intensity of 15/16 even if you were a Leicester player who was determined not to let your standards drop because something in your subconcious is telling you that you'll never be able to match what you experienced three months ago.
I wouldn't say it was easy for Hull today, but, once they went 2-1 up, there weren't many times when they looked like they could be in trouble.
