Vladimir Coufal blasts West Ham fan he wants banned from internet after what he said about Tomas Soucek
West Ham United are staring down a dark path after losing to Leeds United in the Premier League on Friday.
Tomas Soucek let Nuno Espirito Santo down at Elland Road, with the Whites winning 2-1 on the night and giving the Hammers a lot to think about.
Under the leadership of David Sullivan and Karren Brady, the prospect of relegation from the English top flight is real at the East London club.
No team is too big to go down to the Championship, and that might certainly be the case for the Irons unless they get their act together, but fans are slowly starting to lose hope in the ownership and some of the players.
Tomas Soucek called out after West Ham loss vs Leeds United
One Hammers faithful doesn’t want to see Soucek play for them ever again after his performance against Leeds.
Vladimir Coufal didn’t take kindly to the criticism of his countryman and former teammate, hitting back at the fan for taking aim at the midfielder during a difficult spell at the London Stadium.
The Czechia international, who joined Hoffenheim in the summer after leaving the Irons, questioned why the supporter wasn’t behind the player through thick and thin.
Coufal wrote on X on 25 October: “Oh my God. Someone should ban you from internet access. Always together even in bad times, where is it? When you give everything, we will stand by you, where is it?”
Soucek’s performances this season at the London Stadium have been woeful, and the 30-year-old shouldn’t be starting for the Hammers unless he recovers his form.
While the players have to take responsibility for the East London outfit’s woes, the management and members of the boardroom are equally culpable for the crisis in E20.
Nuno Espiriti Santo asks for sack after what he did vs Leeds United
Nuno started Soucek and Andy Irving in midfield against Leeds, and the Portuguese manager’s starting lineup certainly was a head-scratcher for supporters.
West Ham were unable to cope with the pressure at Elland Road, conceding two goals in the opening 15 minutes.
While Mateus Fernandes tried to inspire a comeback after finding the back of the net in the 90th minute, the damage had already been done.
Nuno will certainly want reinforcements in January, but he has to make the most of the squad at his disposal right now to keep hopes of surviving the drop alive in E20.
