‘=>Achilles’ heel
->This idiom indicates that someone has a weak spot of some kind.
(In Greek legend, Achilles is said to have been dipped by his mother in the River Styx in order to make him invulnerable, but his heel was left vulnerable because she was holding him by it and he was killed by an arrow shot through his heel.)

-Bill: I thought Lucy was one of those.
-Tony: She’s very talented but her lack of concentration is her Achilles’ heel.
