Pretty much agree with everything they said.
For me the weak links mentally speaking in our squad are:
Kolarov, Fernandinho, Nasri, Yaya, Dzeko
Kolarov is Mr. Complacency
Fern's confidence is easily dented and he has a tendency to hide
Nasri suffers complacency and lacks drive
Yaya throws his dummy out of the pram when he doesn't get his way
Dzeko's confidence is easily dented, he suffers complacency and lacks drive
Jovetic doesn't strike me as being mentally strong either tbh.
That isn't to say they should all be replaced. I do think some of them should be tho. It's ok to have a couple of talented but mentally weak players. I think we have too many at present however.
Fuck me, Toure is a weak link? Amoungst other things, he has scored the winner in the FA cup semai final against the rags then the winner in the FA cup final against Stoke. Helped us win the league twice, getting us out of the shit at Newcastle with 2 goals in 2012. Scores in the league cup final win & helped us win the league last season.
If he is a weak link then we are fucked as I can't think of many better replacements.
