Gary Neville labels Pep Guardiola 'a joke' after Manchester City boss names six subs at Burnley 'because we don't have anymore' players

Gary Neville has slammed Manchester City Pep Guardiola for naming six substitutes for their Premier League clash away to Burnley.

Guardiola said he had no option but to name six replacements 'because we don't have anymore players' and that the Manchester City Under 23 team played on Friday.

But Neville labelled Guardiola's decision as 'a joke' and 'really poor', claiming it undermines the effort of youth team players and coaches at the club.
