Personally I think people are very harsh on Moyes.
No decent midfielders: this is mainly ferguson's fault in not bringing in anyone to nurture and take over once scholes retired. Moyes contributed with purchases like Feliiani after players like Cesc turned them down, but it's something that should have been addressed a couple of years before now. In fact, ferguson left a pretty poor and ageing squad, with the only good young players being de gea and jumanji.
Vidic, ferdinand and evra in defence: same point as for midfielders
Lack of effort from players: they were scared of ferguson, but they're not scared of moyes, so he find it difficult to motivate them, especially as there are many senior players. This is the club's fault for giving the likes of rooney too much power.
Refs not favouring them: again the ferguson fear factor is gone, not moyes fault that decisions for and against manu balance out over the season like everyone else, that's the way it should be
Tactics: ok, this is probably the few things that moyes can be faulted for, but his tactics might actually work if the players put effort in like they did against olympiakos. That's almost the first time I saw rvp really try this season.
Anyway I give him until xmas, but like he'll care when he will get paid something like 30 million quid for the remainder of his contract without working, I'd try and get myself fired as well
