Imagine if Jose were the manager of City this game, and having to watch it as a City fan.
Walker and Mendy sitting back deep to deal with the pace and guile of Martial and local lad Rashford. Laporte sticking to Lukaku/Sanchez to keep them from creating anything. Bernardo and David Silva trying to defend with Fernandinho, and getting destroyed by fans for not having the physical or mental attributes to deal with Matic and Herrera. Sterling being abused for being too flashy without any end product, resting in Shaw's pocket all game. Mahrez struggling to be half the player he was at Leicester, not even able to get past once-a-winger-handyman Ashley Young. Aguero isolated up front, making wrong decisions and judged to be over the hill. Ederson would be slaughtered for his cockiness and his lack of shot stopping. Stones looking like an expensive mistake, never overcoming his brainfarts from the Everton days. Kompany being brought on to defend a point, United score again, and Mourinho finally replaces Aguero with Jesus and hopes something will happen. It doesn't.
Martial would have that meek defence for breakfast, and Jose would come out in post match complaining about how he missed KDB and how he needs new defenders and a GK and a more physical midfield, and a winger who can cross. "They have a player like Pogba who can change games in an instant, and a world class keeper in De Gea. And we wanted Lukaku to replace the aging Aguero, but couldn't. We need better players."
City fans asking for Jose's head for not giving Foden a chance, and for letting Jadon Sancho leave. They'd be sick of City playing like cowards, ironically after the days when they had players who'd put in 100% effort but were mediocre. "Yeah, they're Man United and all, but you don't give them so much fecking respect." Now they have flashy expensive players who were tearing it up at previous clubs but now aren't doing basic things right. They'd miss the good old grafters like Milner and passionate leaders like Joe Hart, who was shit but would have at least given the team a kick up the backside when they were down 2-1 with 5 minutes to go and defending like cowards.
