Liverpool have scored 30 more goals than United(01 of09)
Open Image ModalWhatever the shortcomings are of this United squad, they should not be so impotent with players like Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata. They struggle to create chances, let alone score them, under Moyes. (credit:Getty Images)
Liverpool's 42-point swing(02 of09)
Open Image ModalLiverpool finished 28 points behind United in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season and are now 14 ahead of them. They were bound to progress in Brendan Rodgers' second campaign, but the humiliation United have suffered in the process is unconscionable for such a huge club. (credit:Getty Images)
Plodding players(03 of09)
Open Image ModalMoyes inherited a dismal midfield Ferguson hadn't strengthened in six years, and their immobility has now spread throughout the side. Some of them appear to be mimicking the slow motion sequences from Inception. (credit:Getty Images)
No Champions League football(04 of09)
Open Image ModalIt's not guaranteed - yet - but some United fans are concerned that qualification against Olympiakos will be followed by humiliation against one of Europe's heavyweights in the last eight. Should they somehow win the competition, it will trump Liverpool or Chelsea's miracle wins in 2005 and 2012. (credit:Getty Images)
Everton should finish above them(05 of09)
Open Image ModalSome United supporters are hopeful United will finish seventh so it spares them of Europa League football next season and because it could be the final nail in Moyes' coffin. Seventh would mean sixth for Everton, which would be the most embarrassing aspect of Moyes' Old Trafford reign. That they are even competing for sixth with the Toffees is bad enough. United have not finished below Everton since 1990. (credit:Getty Images)
They could finish below Tottenham(06 of09)
Open Image ModalSomehow, Tottenham are fifth in the League. They have been battered by Manchester City (twice), Liverpool and Chelsea, yet they remain one place outside the top four. Naturally, Moyes couldn't beat them and lost to Spurs - at home - when they were managed by Tim Sherwood, who is arguably more out of his depth than his United counterpart. United have not finished below Spurs since 1990. (credit:Getty Images)
Bad business(07 of09)
Open Image ModalWithin a month, United invested over £100 million in two No.10 players. They already have Shinji Kagawa and Adnan Januzaj, while Robin van Persie and Ryan Giggs are both adept as playmakers. Already square peg Juan Mata is struggling in his round hole, as Moyes refuses to budge over Wayne Rooney's role. (credit:Getty Images)
Moyes isn't brave enough(08 of09)
Open Image ModalNot only is Moyes refusing to move Rooney to allow Mata a fair crack of the whip as a No.10, but he hasn't got the balls to drop Robin van Persie either. Rooney is too immobile and positionally indisciplined to excel off the striker, and is more effective as a centre forward, yet the disinterested Van Persie remains up front. It's broke, and the manager isn't fixing it. (credit:Getty Images)
He struggles against the big teams(09 of09)
Open Image ModalUnited have lost to five of the six teams above them this season and Moyes still hasn't won at Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal after 12 years as a Premier League manager. That was just one reason he should never have replaced Sir Alex Ferguson. (credit:Getty Images)
