Mentally, are our players too weak??

I think its been commented before, that every time we let in a goal everyone troops back for the kick off, in a 'crap happens' kind of way. There is rarely if ever an inquest, some shouting or someone getting mad (in a good way, heck, even in a bad way)

Watching our games this season I've seen Jenas throwing his arms up in the air and having a whinge because he didnt get a free kick. Zokora gave a foul away on the edge of the box at Newcastle and looked like he was going to cry. He spent about 20 seconds telling his teammates that he didnt foul the bloke. Lennon gets brushed off the ball, doesnt get a free kick and has a little strop (he does often try to win the ball back but sometimes he just stands there, hands on hips)

Do we have enough winners in the team? Are we too nice? Is this why we cant battle our way out of trouble? It might not be a case of wont fight, but cant fight.

It stems from the manager, I asked if he can motivate players during the run in last year, I have seen no evidence that he can.

Did any of the players actually appeal the penalty we should have had today?
