Last season's Hammer of the Year Tomas Soucek has played non stop domestic and International football for the last couple of years, the effects of which are definitely showing signs of catching up with him! Both Soucek and his Czech colleague Vladimir Coufal impressed with their almost super human energy after joining the club, but it appears that commitment came at a collateral cost, essentially both players have look knackered since the start of the season and in need of a 'proper' rest.

When David Moyes first arrived at West Ham following the sacking of Slaven Billic his brief was to save the club from relegation, which he did. One of the 'tools' he used to successfully complete his task was a 'flying wing back' deployment, featuring Aaron Cresswell with Authur Mauaku in tandem.
