Seriously. We have better players but vast difference on the sideline. My godThey were in good positions to win against them 6 weeks ago twice so I would presume so.
And didn't. And yet another second half collapse this time. Did you really think Tyrone would win?
Said it often enough but while we should be eternally grateful to Dooher and Logan for taking the shackles off Mickey's team and leading them to Sam in 2021, everything since has been miles from the required standard. A rudderless ship and a team which is way less than the sum of their parts. Individual talent keeps them competitive but lack of a coherent plan and identity so clear against anyone half decent. With the talent coming through Tyrone really need to have a rethink.
The younger Canavan seems over hyped from what I have saw to date. Darragh and McCurry could do with some support up top. McGeary at last showing a bit of form is a positive for them moving forward.
It certainly wasn't David v Goliath based on the talent available to both teams. But anyone who expected Tyrone to win was deluding themselves.
