Souceks form and Rice
|
|
Watching the game today Soucek is now clearly sitting back to allow Rice to get forward which is impacting his form in my opinion. Now I know Ride has probably been our best player so far his year but the roles that played last year suited us better. Need to play to strengths.

Agree. Rice is better holding, Soicek knows where the goal is. Let's not persist with this stupidity.

Rice holding souceks exploring works a treat

Soucek isn’t mobile enough to play last man in midfield. He gets caught on the ball or rushes a pass.

Great header back to Bowen by Soucek for the goal though

I think he is eating too much potato salad as his game is suffering big time. Could Kral be any worse than Soucek at the moment?

Definitely the single most concerning thing about the team for me, it seems we’ve lost the ability to grip the centre of the park, dispossess the opposition or intercept their passing moves and then launch fast paced breaks. We looked outnumbered today, with every loose ball going Brentford’s way.

Maybe it’s about increasing rice’s value ,play him higher score the odd goal

I said the same thing on the match thread..
The dynamic between the 2 has changed and has mucked with our rhythm.
I’m sure a bit of tweaking to sort it

Soucek mains attribute is in the opposition box. We hardly see him there now for some reason.
If moyes wants rice pushing forward more then honestly having someone like lanzini next to him would be better.
They need to get this issue sorted quick as Soucek is looking nowhere near as good as he has done for us.

Our proper form came when Soucek came in and he started scoring. It would be a shame to ignore that because his form is that bad it could end up wasted

Soucek is knackered, his performances in the Euor's were average not a reflection of his past season.
He's played 38 games for us and that's a lot in his first season in the PL. Then he plays every game as captain for the Czech Rep. Hardly surprising.
He needs a break.
Rice see's that he isn't making those box to box surges so he does them. Coufal also needs a break. Johnson could of played today with his energy proving a different approach.
Moyes not using his subs to change the game or give his players a break,ludicrous.again,

I’m not sure that this analysis is right. Many of Soucek’s goals game from set pieces rather than open play.
He just seems a little jaded and last seasons efforts followed by a good run in the Euros seem to have taken a lot from him.
He will find his form again but I doubt it will be because of any tweaks between him and Rice.

We’ve got quite a few options in the centre of midfield at the moment. With a resurgent Lanzini, Kral and obviously Rice and Soucek we’ve got options to mix it up.
If we are playing a 4-2-3-1 I think Rice and Soucek are nailed on but it’s nice to have the option to change it.

Well that top pundit Danny Mills reckons Rice is off (BORING)
Do these cunts get paid for talking bollocks?

Thing is Soucek isn't a "spectacular" player. He keeps things simple and he isn't going to do those surging runs Rice does so when he isn't scoring he goes unnoticed. I'd like to see a change of formation at times like today. It was clear we weren't going to pass our way through so if we had brought on say Kral Soucek and Rice could have pushed forward and we could have tried to get more balls from wide into the box.

If you get Soucek to play further forward and if you have Rice sitting back then we're short in the midfield. He still gets in the box if he sees an opening but I don't see the point in just making him sit in the box. He had terrific a terrific season but it feels like he's been targeted as an liability by opposition every time he receives the ball in the midfield. He's absolutely huge for us at the back but personally I'd like us to find a more tehcnical and mobile alternative for the games where we dominate possession, like we did today in the 2nd half.

Lets be fair, they’re both shit. Don’t get all the stained underpants over Rice. He’s bang average. If he cant do 90 mins without getting cramp then it just proves how shit he really is.
As for Soucek… worst Polish player I’ve ever seen.
