There really just isn't as much talent on United as the other top 4 (right now), and NOBODY is going to be able to replicate what Sir Alex was able to do with his players. I don't want to see you guys become the next revolving door of coaches without results (like liverpool) because you give up on a guy too early...

I think without Sir Alex that advantage is obviously gone, and until the talent/tactics are where Moyes needs them to be for his system, United will struggle a bit.
I didn't want Moyes from the start. I didn't like him at Everton (and neither did Rooney). I would have been much happier with a no-name than Moyes. Start brand new with someone who hasn't had a chance...just because. It's just like the nameless Pope that happens after every "great" Pope.
Where is this team lacking? Rooney, RvP, Chicharito, De Gea, Januzaj, Evra, Ferdinand, Giggs, Smalling, Vidic, Carrick, Jones, Nani (even though I am not a fan), Welbeck, Cleverley, Kagawa, Buttner, Zaha, Young, and now Fellaini. That's a solid roster of players. There's even more that have done the job in the past and are still capable.
NO reason why Everton, Southampton, or Tottenham should be above them. I can understand being in a tight battle Arsenal, Chelski, L'pool, and C*ty...but not 8 points back. It's early, still, and there's potential to climb...but points have been dropped that shouldn't have been dropped.
