Donegal will win at a canter.

I think they will win. But can't see it being a huge margin. Just don't think they have the forwards to start racking up a big score. Will be a tight cagey affair, but I think Donegal will stick to their system better and won't panic. And that'll edge them over the line. But only see 3/4 points in it.

Is that Top 4 secure for Liverpool now after Spurs losing?

It looks like it. Unless Spurs win their 5 remaining games by a 20 goal difference and Liverpool lose their 3 remaining games

Stranger things have happened....

considering one of those 5 is Man City it would have to be very very strange

It's gone from winning the quadruple to worrying about finishing top 4.  

Is that not the normal way of things. Once the title's gone you look to the next biggest challenge. Finishing top 4 is essential. Wouldn't want to be dropping out of it again. Makes it more challenging for the new manager when you're not in the CL. Harder to attract the talent you want.

Wouldn't like to have a new manager AND not be in the CL for instance...

Am I the only one thinking our conditioning is below were it should be? I thought in the 2nd half of normal time, a good few of our men stopped making the runs that we had been making in the 1st half. Think new legs then could have made a big difference. But management have been slow to implement changes. Oguz A big loss in that regards.

[Morgan's kickouts were awful]

Morgan had caught thst ball at the end over normal time, it was game over

Morgan's kickouts were awful in the 2nd half and extra time. I think he must have cost 4 points. And he got motm? Madness.
In saying that's, there was no standout player, so maybe his free taking got it for him.

I think some of that was the lack of runners in the 2nd half by Tyrone. Fitness was starting to show a bit.boys were getting leggy, I thought he was actually still getting the majority right. Few went wayward but don't think it was more that 3/4 in whole game. And some of his better ones were great platforms for some of Tyrone's attacks. I think he's the best passer in the game at the minute tbh. Maybe I'm bias tho!!   
 

Donegal's Ulster final to lose.

Would you ever f**k off with that crap. It wasn't entertaining the first time you did it and it hasn't aged well with the 100th.

As funny as a kick in the boll!x.

Was a grand auld game of football. Defensive, yes but not overly negative in my opinion. No major talking points from the ref either. Few calls could have went either way, but nothing major.
Felt it was lost on the sideline. Had we freshened things up in the 2nd half of normal time, I think we could have won. Too slow to make changes and reacting. That said, got tactic 100 in first half. But needed better in-game management. McShane and Seanie o Donnell should have been pulled in 2nd half.
Mattie and Morgan two players showing their class today for Tyrone.

Management needed to make changes quicker. McShane could been gone 30 mins ago. No legs left in a few of them. Unfortunately to slow to act again.

Last week could take its toll on Tyrone now

2 week break should help if they get through. But think this game will stand to the winner.

Donegal kicking lot of wides. Tyrone letting them take a pop at distance. Dangerous tactic.

Not sure on that free. Lines just crossed and collided.

Brilliant tv there. 😂

Nobody's asking us to

OK, so how many are we expected to take?

I thought you were taking none and instead shipping to 🇷🇼 ?

What a red herring. Where does it end? Come on, tell us.

Where does it start? Are you saying we should be taking none? I'm assuming you're not that big a boll!x and that you are happy to take some. So what's the limit? How many is too many for you?

Maybe he will stand in the centre circle and tell the fans their job now is to support the new manager aka 'the chosen one'.

Klopp is leaving Liverpool far better than he found them. If he had would nothing else apart from the Premier League he would still be considered a legend imo. The fact he won everything there was to win (apart from the Europa League obvs) means he will go down as one of the greatest managers the club has ever had.

Certainly whomever comes in has big boots to fill but they should be given time because it's probably going to take next season at the least to find his feet at such a big club. 

Genuinely intrigued that Liverpool fans will hold him in such high esteem, or maybe is it recency bias? He delivered one league title in 9 years?

I get that he is an iconic figure and was box office and even fans of other teams will miss him from the EPL.

You have to look at what he was up against. He has been up against the monster that is city. Up against a club that financially outstripped its competitors in the PL by so much for the duration of his stint. And he still managed to get a title and run them close in another few. Not to mention the champions league.
Given where Liverpool came from, it was an unreal feat. Look at the status of the club now compared to before he came. There is no comparison. IMO at least.

No issue with players being blooded, transition years, need to gain experience...all that stuff....fine...

But surely you should be able to see a plan, a system, some kind of tactics beyond the basic, something to give these players a structure to develop in ...

What does that even mean? Lost their way when Hampsey went off on the black card... need to look at that. They were the much better side.

What that means is exactly what it says. It's great to see new players get brought in and given a meaningful taste of league and championship.

There is also a lot of talent there, which means we can go on scoring sprees and look fantastic for periods. All good. So the raw ingredients are there.

What is not evident is a system or structured gameplay to compete with Dublin/Kerry/Derry (and McGuiness back means Donegal are also a much diffeent prospect).

There is zero consistency in the team, from quarter to quarter, never mind game to game.

Maybe I just dont see/understand the current tactics as well as others and I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

Nah you've still lost me. Maybe I'm not up to speed with gameplans. You mention Derry, they were a shambles at the weekend. Kerry scraped past Cork. I've must have a simpler outlook. Tyrone went away from home and beat a side just beat Monaghan. Things went badly awry on the black card and need to look at why. Sitting in Breffini Park yesterday wat I saw was Tyrone were the much better team and when it was 15 v 15 Cavan wouldn't have won if we were there to next Tuesday. Next up... Donegal.

You don't think going a man down and how to cope with it is an element that the management should have dealt with in training? I would be asking serious questions about why we opened up so quickly during those 10 mins. That re-organisation lies with management imo.
