Brendan

Rogers has had a very slow start to the year a few mistakes any time I've seen him play throw in the silly red card against Donegal

Aye, he's turned the ball over a lot this year. He's need to get back to carrying the ball and giving simple passes.

He's a good player but had a great year and expectations are probably a bit high for him tbh...

Derry doing rightly considering here. Still think they lack a bit in the forwards but glass some loss too.

That shot was going wide from McGuigan

Should have went on in

Yep, had open road in front of him. O'Hanlon would have got back in goal but still should have ended up with a one on one with the goalie rather than the pot luck shot he took on.

Dubs well in control without being great. Kilkenny and "Fento" have been very good.

Dublin getting it so easy in this game. Derry miles off it & happy to drop back just to have numbers, but Dublin still cutting through them handy.

Derry not marking tight anywhere on the pitch & have now resorted to potshots from distance.

It was a poor enough attempt from McGuigan with the Dublin keeper out the field.

Derry won't care and the narrative will be about them having half a team out but there have been some very poor performances there tonight. Dubs much more physical in almost every tackle. McGuigan (who has been decent) got out-jumped by Murchan for a goal chance FFS.

That is a thing for me... Derry don't look as physically strong. They're actually more mobile than I thought though.

They're not, and it's not just the experienced Dublin vs the young Derry lads. A lot of Derry ones are very slight and a lot of the younger Dubs look much stronger.

And whatever about Fenton vs Glass, Fenton has looked levels above both Rodgers and Bradley here without getting out of second gear.

Rogers will be disappointed with his form so far this year. He was much better than Fenton this time last year and he'll need to be again if we meet them later down the road!

Agreed. Not quite this level yet tbh.

Noticed that today at an under 20 game with both teams.. physically, Dublin at different level of physical strength

Great appetite and workrate from the Dubs. Mototring along nicely. Some great scores by both sides but Derry didn't really bring it in the second half, so can't read too much into it.

Some amount of Palestinian flags at the Dubs end
