West Ham United midfielder Carlos Soler started against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, despite his struggles since joining the club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The 28-year-old Spaniard has been underwhelming for the Hammers, and it’s been reported that he won’t be staying at West Ham next season.
Soler’s performance against Southampton was particularly poor, with fans criticizing his lack of commitment, poor passing, and inability to contribute to the attack. Many questioned why he’s being given regular minutes, especially when compared to top scorer Tomas Soucek.
One fan said, “Soler is pathetic,” while another noted, “Soler isn’t anywhere near good enough.” Fans also questioned head coach Graham Potter’s decision to start Soler, suggesting that a youngster should be given a chance instead.
Soler’s stats against Southampton were dismal, with no key passes, shots on target, or interceptions. West Ham fans are growing increasingly frustrated with his performances, and it’s likely that Potter will need to rethink his lineup to boost the team’s chances of success.
