Jerome is on a crusade and a mission by the looks of it

Goalkeeper: Niall Morgan
Full Back Line: Paudie Hampsey, Peter Teague, Cormac Quinn, Niall Devlin, Aidan Clarke
Half Back Line: Michael McKernan, Rory Brennan, Kieran McGeary, Shea O'Hare, Frank Burns
Midfield: Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick, Ben McDonnell, Joe Oguz
Half Forward Line: Mattie Donnelly, Peter Harte, Sean O'Donnell, Ciaran Daly, Conor Meyler
Full Forward Line: Darren McCurry, Darragh Canavan, Mark Bradley, Eoin McElholm, Ruairi Canavan

If anyone looks at that and doesn't see genuine All Ireland Contenders you clearly don't want to see Malachy or Tyrone to succeed. We lost one game against a rested Mayo side who had to respond after their first game, missing three key players in Hampsey, Kennedy and McElholm - in context we were vulnerable coming into the game and back to back performances have been hard to come by for all teams in the chase so far. So result not surprising, performance disappointing but no different than what has been seen across the other contenders this summer. Beat Cavan in two weeks, we more than likely top the group and are fresh for the Quarter final for a three game sprint at winning it. Very achievable.

FF line needs more variety, mabye Matty and Darragh interchanging between 11-14 to mix it up

The HF line is a huge issue, there's no-one there who offers a consistent running, passing, scoring threat, a John Maher/Ciaran Thompson type would transform Tyrone

I could see Dazzler playing at 11 in a year or 2 but just too damn good inside to consider anything else at the moment

Morgan at 11? Though it would be a major wtf to roll that one out now late in the season

[Stall the Bailer]

Would Teague in midfield be an option worth trying? I thought he played well there against Donegal when out around the middle. Would allow Conn move to the half forward line, more height, ball winning and direct running around the middle.

[tiempo]

Don't think so, was a hell of a cameo against Murphy but up against a specialist MF from the throw in don't think it would end well

The 2021 AI winning MF is still A1

Paul Donaghy possibly the 11 we could've promoted, wonder if that ships sailed

Then you also have Bradley, Eoin McElholm, Canavan, Burns, Daly and O'Donnell to bring in. McDonnell was good against Donegal, but I'm not really convinced of him and Oguz as midfield options.

Is the above the best team?

It's a big if if Meyler can get back, but you can trust he'll be doing everything right. It's probably lacking one or two bigger men, but I'm not enamoured with any of the options. I think Mattie at FF is a good shout as he always does well in there and is good for a few scores.

Tyrone had no game from 26th April to 24th May before they played Donegal so don't think calling Mayo a "rested" team is fair.  Mayo's need to win the game was greater. 

McElholm has been an underage star, but bit early to be calling him a key player at this stage, more of an impact player at the moment?

Key players include impact players of the bench. When you consider the impact the bench has against Armagh and Donegal, losing them players contributed to not being able to turn the Mayo deficit around. O'Hare, Gray, Donaghy Ruairi and Harte had no impact of the bench. A full out Tyrone team would of had Harte, Teague/Hampsey, McDonnell and McElholm to bring in - second half becomes a very different story then.

Your being a bit disrespectful to Mayo here Tyrone were flat right across the board last weekend and deserved all they got. McElholm has not been setting the world alight at intercounty level similar to Ruairi Canavan to an extent, who has shown great club form and underage form, but hasn't been able to transition that to senior level as yet.

[Truthsayer]

I don't see All Ireland this year but def in top 5. Hard to see past Armagh and Donegal/Kerry in the mix. Definitely are improving albeit Saturday wasn't good and can see an All Ireland within next 3 years. Malachy be ok. Is ones just waiting for any defeat to get the boot in. You know who you are!

[tiempo]

A few pundits have said similar and how I feel also, Tyrone not looking like potential winners but could take anyone out, thats the challenge now, get over Cavan, maybe take a big gun out in a quarter final, at that stage with the tails up and a quality squad many of whom know how to get over the line and 2 games from glory you never know

Armagh look the irresistible force to me at the moment and I just can't hate a team that is so damn good given the journey they've been on, huge respect for what they've done in recent years, bounced back from gut-wrenching defeat and they way McGeeney has developed the squad and kept lads on board - they'd be the ideal team to derail 😉

Armagh do look very good however i dont think they are much ahead of the pack. Beat tyrone by 1 point, beaten by donegal and their 5 point win over dublin was flattering considering dublin gifted them 3 of the 5 points from breaches and the fact that dublin missed everything from scoreable positions.
