Pundit Tony Cottee has suggested West Ham United boss David Moyes to drop Tomas Soucek.
In all fairness, the £15 million (Sky Sports) man has been badly out of form since his spectacular debut season at the London Stadium.
While Tomas Soucek continued to look the part for West Ham United at the start of last campaign, his performances nosedived, which is why he has been slated by the pundit.
Pundit Tony Cottee hints West Ham star Tomas Soucek should be dropped
Initially, Soucek was adored by fanbases across the Premier League due to constantly been compared to Marouane Fellaini and how his impact under David Moyes was similar to that of the latter at Everton.
But as the Hammers progressed, the Czech international did not and especially in the ongoing season, he simply lacks the technical ability as well as the defensive nous to help them reach elevate to unseen levels.
Speaking to talkSPORT, pundit Tony Cottee has suggested West Ham manager David Moyes to drop Tomas Soucek.
“Soucek, I don’t know what’s happened to Soucek. For the last 18 months he’s been all over the place.”
“I think they’ve got to change tactics. Maybe bring Flynn Downes as a holding midfielder, and just give Declan Rice and Paqueta the license to get forward.”
“I feel sorry for the centre-forwards, whether that’s [Michail] Antonio or Danny Ings. There’s too many balls up in the air around their ear holes and they’re not getting runners. Even if they flick it on, there’s no one running beyond them. So, if you get a passive midfield, you’re not going to create chances.”
It’s hard not to side with the pundit as West Ham can no longer afford starting a player that has looked as hapless as Soucek and that too for such a long stretch of time.
