This awful Man U team are 6th and a point from 4th. Is the league competitive, or actually is the levelling down to too much average crap?

It's going to take shape soon... It's most perfect by design.. They want it competitive from about 6th down, but they won't be liking things right now... Come May and the majority of years ahead we'll see the usual clubs at the top.

Man United and Liverpool will be OK
 
Not an awful draw but not great either. Only good thing about the draw is 17 non EPL clubs through to the next round so you'd have a slightly better than 50/50 chance of getting a lower based team in the 4th round (round of 32).
 
Bournemouth are everything Howe wouldn't have permitted them to be. They score a goal at old Trafford and the player is also capable of performing a backflip in front of the visibly upset Man United fans.

Newcastle are devoid of anything even remotely entertaining or exciting in that regard and a reflection of the managers own personality. This might sound harsh, but it seems to be true, he's a nice bloke, but he doesn't have any charisma.

I think Howe needs to be given players by a recruitment team at this point, and he can stick to coaching.
