Tomas Soucek says West Ham have what it takes to start delivering in the Premier League this season.
It’s been a rather dire campaign to date for all connected with the club, as the team continue to under-deliver dispute much promise from the club during a summer rebuild.
However, thus far under Julen Lopetegui West Ham are underachieving, with Soucek saying the pressure is now telling.
“We know where we are in the table,” he told the clubs Official Website. “The pressure is always high, even when you’re doing well in the league. Now that we are a little bit down in terms of league position, you feel it even more.
“We feel it outside, from the media, even if we don’t want to read it, it still comes to us. But that’s football, it’s full of ups and downs and we must deal with that.”
Soucek says the team has what it takes to finally start performing on a consistent basis, although that remains to be seen when we visit Bournemouth later tonight.
“When I see our training sessions, we have so much more to show [in matches]. We want to show our style and deliver results with this system.
“The coach likes a more active style of football. Pressing the opponent and having more of the ball. I really like this style but we have to show more on the pitch. As a team, we work very hard here, but on game day we need to show even more, because results are the most important thing.
“I’ve had three seasons in a row in Europe during my time at West Ham. We love playing in these competitions and the fans do too. For me, the dream is to go back to Europe.”
