Jason Burt, John Murray and Jermaine Jenas discuss the winning mentality of the Manchester City squad.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has previously discussed his squad's winning mentality but journalist Jason Burt believes talk about mentality "is just not right".

Burt said: "You can't say David Silva, Yaya Toure or Kevin De Bryune, Sergio Aguero have the wrong mentality.

"They've won leagues. You know, it's not as if it's a problem."

Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas agreed, saying City's players will "see through" what Guardiola is saying.

Jenas said: "I have to say it is very clever.

"It does nearly get you in terms of the fact you do think: 'Yeah, you're right Pep, you're right'.

"Clichy, Kompany, Fernandinho, Toure, I am pretty sure you lot've won a few trophies in your time and you've got enough experience."

Guardiola will end the season without a trophy for the first time in his coaching career after defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final.

The Spaniard won 14 trophies in four seasons at Barcelona, and seven in three years at Bayern Munich.
