Soucek suffers again and is surely set for a rest

Tomas Soucek had another shocking night on the pitch as the Czech Republic crashed to a 2-1 defeat in Switzerland during his 54th cap for his country.

The result ensured that the country was relegated to group B of the Nations League and the Hammers defensive midfielder will almost certainly feel that he contributed to the defeat.

In what was a poor performance. the 27-year-old missed a penalty although in fairness to the Swiss keeper it was a particularly good save.

Many are calling for David Moyes to replace Soucek for the game against Wolves at the London Stadium on Saturday evening.

And after his awful form so far this season at both club and international level there has to now be a serious chance that Flynn Downes could be drafted in alongside Declan Rice for a game which is taking on massive importance.

Soucek has argued that he is unworried nu his form given that football is a game where it comes and goes but right now the right decision looks to be that he makes way as a first team regular.
