David Moyes has been handed a huge West Ham United injury and squad harmony blessing in disguise at just the right time.
West Ham are in real trouble at the moment, and we could find ourselves inside the relegation zone before we play in the Premier League again on April 2nd, if results do not go our way over the next five days.

The Hammers have been really poor this season and tensions are running high at the London Stadium.
The players haven’t performed and the same can be said for Moyes. However, the Scot has had to deal with a ridiculous amount of long-term injuries to key players this season, including the likes of Maxwel Cornet, Nayef Aguerd, Kurt Zouma and Gianluca Scamacca amongst others.
Some might think the fact that our relegation rivals have games to play tomorrow and this weekend is a huge disadvantage to us, as we could drop inside the relegation zone by the end of the week.
However, I believe that West Ham have been presented with a great opportunity that could very well end up being a blessing in disguise…
West Ham boss David Moyes handed big lucky break at just the right time
The Hammers’ next Premier League game is in 19 day’s time.
Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal and Michail Antonio all missed our last game through injury.
Meanwhile, the likes of Scamacca, Cornet and Zouma are all desperately lacking match fitness.
So I truly believe that this three-week break in domestic action will end up being a blessing in disguise. It will give the players currently struggling for full fitness to really work on that during the break.
Also, the break will give Moyes a chance to really get the harmony amongst the players back to where it was.
There has definitely been a bad feeling emanating from the London Stadium this season, for multiple different reasons. One of them has been the bad results of course.
Moyes now has the chance to get a specific system nailed down and a playing philosophy engrained into the players’ minds.
Whilst it might not be great heading into the two-week international break inside the bottom three, this mini-break may well end up doing West Ham and David Moyes the world of good in the long run.
