# West Ham: Tomas Soucek’s place in danger with David Moyes weighing up ‘reshape’

**A report has shared news on [West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) midfielder Tomas Soucek as Irons manager David Moyes weighs up a ‘reshape’ behind-the-scenes.**

### The Lowdown: Moyes facing pressure…

The Hammers have won just one of their opening seven [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) matches so far, putting the 59-year-old under real pressure, with [reports suggesting](https://www.jeunesfooteux.com/West-Ham-Pochettino-pour-remplacer-Moyes_a58678.html) that his job could be in peril.

Moyes’ men currently sit 18th and have bagged just three top-flight goals in total so far this term – the [joint-lowest record](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) alongside Wolves, who they face this evening in east London.

The Scotsman hasn’t quite worked out the kinks in his West Ham squad despite [serious summer investment](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379), with news now coming to light on measures that he could take to improve the starting XI.

### The Latest: Soucek facing West Ham axe…

Indeed, a claim has surfaced involving one of Moyes’ midfield mainstays and the [2020/21 Hammer of the Year](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/august/06-august/west-ham-united-supporters-crown-tomas-soucek-202021-betway).

Czech Republic international Soucek, who has [played every minute](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham) in the top flight for West Ham so far this season, is now facing the axe from the Irons’ starting XI.

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-soucek-moyes-sources-2/) claim that Moyes is fighting to save his job and is now weighing up the possibility of a ‘reshape’ behind-the-scenes, which could involve dropping the 27-year-old.

### The Verdict: Right call?

A physically imposing figure in the West Ham midfield, Soucek has been called a ‘[monster’](https://twitter.com/deejayfaremi/status/1359245071099588617) by some members of the media for his aerial dominance, notably winning [two headers](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham) per game this season (second-best in Moyes’ squad).

However, in recent times, the former Slavia Prague colossus has struggled to recapture his previous form, with club insider [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/moyes-set-for-soucek-talks/) even claiming that Moyes is set for a sit down to discuss the 27-year-old’s ailing performances.

That’s not to say that he hasn’t contributed in the current campaign, though, with the 6 foot 4 tank bagging a London derby goal at home to Spurs in August and helping to [salvage a 1-1 draw](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12684562/west-ham-1-1-tottenham-tomas-soucek-scores-second-half-equaliser-to-earn-hammers-draw-over-spurs) in the process.

Soucek’s quality when playing at his peak is evident from his aforementioned award, but time could be running out for the Czech Republic international to continue being a West Ham untouchable.
