The whole country are moving away from defensive crap that we have seen this 10 years and Tyrone are only starting it
Use have the best group of players in ulster let them play some football will you Mickey
And then that muck yesterday
Jesus

Do we have a top class forward?

Smurfy123

Sludden
Meyler
Bradley
McAliskey
Harte
Donnelly

All really good forwards problem is they play more around the middle

Throw the shackles off Mickey

redzone

Sats it up nicely for the dubs
Big deal we got beat in a game of footbal. Usual suspects couldn't wait to get a dig.

How many of them are scorers in the ilk of a McBrearty, Murphy, Paul Geaney, Andy Moran, Conor McManus, Paul Mannion etc?

None.

4 of them (Meyler, Sludden, Harte and Donnelly) are middle players who are most comfortable in the middle area of the field (5-12).

Unfortunately the modern game has changed, all the top inside forwards these days are 6ft plus nowadays. We don't have a top forward who has the physical presence to give us that threat.

I think we can certainly make adjustments to our attack to make it work better but the bottom line is we have a lot of very skilled forwards but we don't have any top bracket forward in our side.

Bomber throw the shackles off it's only the league
Tyrone will rack up big against the likes of Antrim and Cavan but not the big teams
Go out and play football and not that muck

There is no mandate for Tyrone to entertain neutrals. As a Tyrone fan, the result is what matters. If we don't rack up against the big teams then it's as much a case of a lack of quality than it is of the tactics we employ. I want Tyrone to play the type of football that enables us to be competitive and successful, not for what endears the neutrals.

is a sort of counter balance to the hype if they'd have won

From listening to the radio it appears our two common foes continue to cause us the biggest problems Profligacy from open play and free kicks.

Really bad result that already has us in danger of being in a relegation scrap considering our game next weekend.

Can anyone give us a run down on our tactics, did we leave 2 or 3 upfront?

The weather conditions did seem to be quite horrendous for shooting.

Tyrone Gaa

The presence of a Colm Cavanagh is a big loss against better opposition. Colm being there allows others to get forward when instructed. He will miss the Dublin game as well. One thing we can't do is get red cards. I'd be shocked I'd McCurry doesn't now get an extended period on the bench.
Living the dream!!!

Two from what I could tell. Problem was they continually played the high ball into the smallest man on the pitch (Bradley). It was mad stuff. Didn't help playing with 14 men either, they constantly had a free man for kickouts.
Galway played like Tyrone 2017 sitting back waiting to spring the trap.

A bad day at the office all round.

That would be fair enough if both sides were roughly equal but the first half stats were brutal from a Tyrone perspective. I think it was 7 v 2 close to the end of first half. Not sure of full time stats though.

You'd hope another McKenna Cup on the sideboard in mid-Feb will give the right platform for Div 1 survival.

Yeah, good call mate, let's just brush this under the carpet and pretend this match didn't happen

Three more years. Three more years. Three more years. Next Sunday I would advise any proud Tyrone man to stay away from social media and the Irish news next Monday. Three more years. Three more years. Three more years.
