Coufal is absolutely awful, wrote the West Ham fansite. He also hit out at Soucek, who he says is not good enough

West Ham finished a fine seventh last season, with the Europa League not far away. They are now playing in the Conference League, but are performing poorly in the Premier League. After seven games, he has four points and is in the relegation zone, so the fans are calling for the relegation of several former mainstays. And among them are both Czech footballers.

The start of the 2022/23 season hasn’t gone well at all for the Kladivars. West Ham have taken just four points from seven league games with a win over Aston Villa and a draw with Tottenham.

That condemned it to the relegation fight. They are in eighteenth place, only ahead of Nottingham on points and three points ahead of the even more troubled Leicester.

No wonder the fans are in an uproar. They don’t like the performance of their charges for a long time and demand improvement and the relegation of several players who were previously mainstays.

Specifically, Pablo Fornals, Jarrod Bowen, Lukasz Fabianski and both Czech Republic players – Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal.

While the latter has been playing all the time, Soucek has missed several games due to injury. “He simply isn’t good enough to play in the Premier League for a club that is not only expected to challenge for the top six, but which is also clearly struggling to have a possession-based game,” wrote fan website Hammers News about him.

They see a replacement in Flynn Downes, who joined from Swansea and has only sat on the substitutes’ bench in the league so far. However, the fan site also outlined possible replacements for Coufal.

“The 30-year-old right-back has been absolutely dreadful this season. His drop in form in recent months is frightening. If Ben Johnson is fit, he must play against Wolves. And if not, Harrison Ashby should be given a chance,” he wrote.
