Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Thought Morgan was excellent today. Best player. Great to see Meyler on the field.

It's the power, speed and direction of his passing. It's unreal. I haven't seen a better passer of the ball in my time imo.

Kickout strategy is a huge negative. Armagh have the best I've seen and it's a big part of their dominance of games. Also whilst our 2 corner backs are quick in attack they're ropey as hell as defenders.

[The Bearded One]

You thought Quinn was ropey today? I thought he done a top job on Cian Madden from where I was standing.

[HokeyPokey]

I'd say Patton has the best kickout, but he's much more limited in other areas. Morgan is well rounded and excellent in most areas. He can have an odd off game, but he's been really consistent the last few years.

Thought Quinn was good. I thought Devlin struggled defensively

[tyroneStatto]

so are Tyrone likely to face either Dublin or Galway?

[skeog]

Down the only 2nd place team to have a chance of an upset all the other games are done and dusted.There will be some massacres in Killarney and Ballybofey.Cork will huff and puff to no avail.

Galway aren't motoring well at all this year and Comer is gone. Dublin rely heavily on Con and we've got two strong options in Teague and Hampsey to mark him.

Quietly confident we'd take both of them if our main men up front fire. Should both be great games.

Galway traveling up to Newry a week after an intense match in Cavan could take a lot out of them.

Quinn and Devlin have loads of potential and they're good young  players, I'm not writing them off in future, but our FB line of Quinn, Teague and Devlin hasn't a patch on our last AI winning FB lines of Hampsey, McNamee and McKernan. When you look back at it they were a fantastic trio of defenders.

That wasn't the full back line yesterday, Teague was half back. Also, I don't think Quinn is young to be calling one for the future. Had a good game yesterday.

Devlin somewhat goes unnoticed I find, neither in a good or bad way.

He really looked very classy for the U20s, he was a great kick passer, but I can't remember seeing him show that for the senior team.

Still think we need a bit more on the kick out strategy. I know Morgan has looked jittery at times ( To be fair all keepers have with the new rules) but our running into space for kick outs is still poor. We're relying on Morgan hitting pin point passes a lot of the time and that's putting him under pressure. A few times he was nearly called for taking too long, but there was literally nothing on to hit. Then when one of his lockouts goes slightly off, he's getting the blame.
But that's nick picking on a day when they did so much right.
 

Agree kick stratgey now the last big piece of the jigsaw. In Mayo Donegal both got approx. 75% of own kickouts. Tyrone must get this level. With Kennedy back and Teague up the field Tyrone can reach this level and thus become real AI contenders. Winning dirty ball is complimentary to kickout and if Harte is on from start Con rampaging, defense getting more solid and Daly looking very determined there are good prospects there now too. Add bit more game management with McGeary's help and all pieces will be available and confidence will click them into place. No strong favorites this year so it is there for the taking with determined game management. managment

Fair play to Meyler for getting back but does he not make a big deal out of a lot of things. Mind reading an article about him few years ago about getting his sleep just right and how prepared he was for everything.

Maybe he should have a holiday or smoke a bit of weed or something.

Note: I do realise that he's way more talented than a lowly ladies footballer like myself before someone points that out!
