You can’t toughen a player up. It’s in you or it’s not. What they can do is give them the freedom to play without being scared to make mistakes and the ones with the good mentality will improve and make less mistakes the more they play a certain way.It's both, we have soft players but great managers can toughen players up. Why can players like Maddison and Bissouma not play with the same intensity as before? How come these exact same players could play with courage when down to 9 men against Chelsea in November but now they looked scared to pass the ball forward?
Yes there's a different type of pressure at the business end of the season but playing the way we did with 9 men was basically suicide and yet we nearly beat them doing it! The boys showed they had balls. Where did they go?
He'll give it his all when chucked on at 87 mins 3-0 down.Maybe Richy will be extra motivated with his Everton connections….

Isn't a walk over just 3-0 might be worth it.
Also Spurs won’t allow it.
If a large number of our players look mentally weak, despite not being mentally weak at previous clubs, or earlier in the season, that says something. And it's not really that they are mentally weak. It speaks to a lack of confidence, coherance and coaching as to what they should be doing and why.You can’t toughen a player up. It’s in you or it’s not. What they can do is give them the freedom to play without being scared to make mistakes and the ones with the good mentality will improve and make less mistakes the more they play a certain way.
What we have is players not handling the demands of playing a riskier type of game because of two reasons and they are that firstly they are mentally weak and secondly not good enough to do it and do it well on a consistent basis.
You can get a player from the championship or league one or any pro and ask them to play that way but they would struggle because of the reasons I mentioned.
And I will be there. Won't accept a defeat
