Things are about to change says Tomas

Tomas Soucek was as good a player as has ever worn the West Ham shirt last season.

He defied all the stuff that’s often talked about it taking a while for players to fit in following a move from abroad.

The man was sensational and formed the heartbeat of the team alongside Declan and let’s be absolutely straightforward about this; you don’t go from that level to what we are seeing this season without a very good reason.

I’ve read of course  that he’s tired as the man reason  but I consider that a far too easy explanation.

I still believe that the problem lies in the fact that he continues to be used in an entirely defensive midfield role with Declan explaining  he had decided to take on the runs on goal role.

Why has this happened?  Tomas is simply not the same player and it is time it was sorted if in my view he is to hurry to sign a new deal.

We reported earlier that he will enter more talks towards the end of the season after a round of discussions today and in the meantime he has explained that things are being done differently at Rush Green on how we want the team to play.

Let’s hope a return to the way things were last season with him in a far more attacking role is among them.

Here’s what he had to say per Hammers News: “We’ve done some different things during training at Rush Green with how we want to play and what we want to develop, and I think this can improve us as a team, how we play and how we want to play. 

We struggled with keeping the ball and creating chances against Newcastle, but we’ve been working hard to do our maximum, and we want to transfer that to the next game. That’s the best thing we can show against Wolves.”
