Former Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp has told West Ham United manager David Moyes to change his long-standing midfield partnership of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.
In recent years, the duo have been among the first names on the team sheet as the two defensive midfielders in the Hammers’ 4-2-3-1 line-up, with both men starting all 13 of West Ham’s league games this season.
Since Soucek’s arrival from Slavia Prague in the summer of 2020, he has played 123 times for the Hammers in all competitions, 109 of those outings have been alongside Rice, with the duo playing in 91 of the Hammers’ 104 league games since Soucek’s arrival. Of the 91, 88 have been starts.
