Spurs got a disgraceful decision (as bad as Aguero against Newcastle) but we mentally fell apart because of it. That's happened many times this season. The team play with all the urgency and desire of that bloke who sits next to Pellegrini. August can't come soon enough

Yeah, that Spurs game came to mind reading Ray's post but you're spot on, we shat ourselves that day, I recall being very concerned at how we fell apart that day.
Edit: just to add, there were two disgraceful offside decisions that day but point remains.

Yaya is incapable of that role and we do lack a few players who can do that job. Against Leicester we could of salvaged something if we had been given the penalty in the first half (the foul on Zaba which was in the box not outside). West Ham second goal wasn't a corner (although we didn't deal with) and because of that we were up against it. The home game against Spurs they were gifted a penalty.
