Leicester City's last season was wonderful, but they have to forget about that and focus on what's ahead.
Claudio Ranieri's team seemed to be a bit disoriented against recently promoted Hull, and ended up losing a match that should have been like a walk in the park. Last season, the team only lost three of the 38 games they played in the EPL, which means this is not the start the Italian boss wanted for his crew.
Furthermore, the current title holders set a new EPL record, but this time, it wasn't something to be proud of. Leicester City became the first Premier League defending champion to lose their opening match. The last time something like this happened came in the 1989-1990 season, when Arsenal lost their first game.
While some fans still believe in the team's magic, others believe that the Foxes will go back to their eternal fights to avoid relegation. Here are some of their best comments after Hull's 2-1 win against the defending champions.
I sense that Leicester without the phenomenal Kanté will resort to being Leicester.

Hull deserved it. They out Leicester-ed Leicester! Davies, Hernandez & Snodgrass superb. Morgan & Vardy off their game.

Leicester is back where they belong... The bottom of the table.

Leicester will lose half their fan base this season after all the people who started supporting them last season realise it was a one off.
