Do you seriously think our squad is worse than every team above us, Moyes is getting absolutely nothing out of the players right now, unless he changes we are heading right into a relegation fight.
Do I know that what Moyes can pick from currently is less than a full squad - and so can't rotate, rest, or bring on impact players from his squad as he pleases. It isn't the only reason, but it is a contributory.
We are in transition, I'm glad Felli is signed, we havn't sold anyone that will still be playing in 5 years (besides Vaughan, but he cant manage 5 minutes, let alone 5 games) we have a strong base unit, but have lost our most high profile creative stars (Pienaar & Arteta). Bily is gone (hopefully), Yobo looks gone, Gibson in for pennies, Saha seems to have checked out already, once the retirements happen in the summer Moyes can have a crack at a rebuild of more than a couple of players.
I'm not convinced on Drenthe, I am concerned about how Coleman will fit in long term, is Rodwell going to be moved back to CB, can a left sider be found to hook up with Baines, is Anichebe anything more than an angry sub, can Moyes find a couple of bargains.
We can't demand a change and expect it to turn round in a flash, a bit of house cleaning, then some upgrades.
