Tyrone Mears is Atlanta United's starting right full-back. Whether you like or not. The former Premier League journeyman and MLS champion has quickly become a target for criticism by the Five Stripes Nation. Mears has been labeled "a weak link" and is often the first starter that fans fantasize about replacing during the transfer window. But Tyrone Mears isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
I've watched every Atlanta United game this season with a very critical eye. Tyrone Mears isn't a player that I'd prefer to see wearing a yellow penny, than starting on the right side.
