Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Can't see that half forward line starting, not enough fielding ability in it. I would expect Kelly or McLaughlin to come into the HB line at the expense of McHale or Neary (with Carney into the HF line and Coen or Callinan in Mf)

Durkan possibly back for Sligo game
Conroy soon after
Brilliant news
Mayo ladies relegated, well beaten by Waterford
Andy Moran getting great praise for his work with Monaghan. Lot's on here were not in favour of him getting a role in the Mayo setup last year.
Shocking error by Reape kicking a short ball to a Mayo fullback and 2 Kerrymen. Mayo were doing well up to that.
is this kit new? Don’t remember seeing it before
Thought the defence been excellent at times but your not going to win many matches without a midfield and when you keep passing to the opposition every time you have a promising attack.
Lucky not to be loosing by less. Kickouts poor and getting cleaned in midfield.
Kerry’s quick attacking is in stark contrast to Mayo’s laborious approach.
Bad mistake from Reape for the goal, absolutely braindead stuff. Mclaughlin poor as well, was directly responsible for at least 2 points.
Kerry's getting the ball inside much much quicker than us, we're a hard watch in this form
Massive 2nd half needed to even stay competitive
Absolutely ridiculous Take the handy point They are well beatable We are beating ourselves with stupidity
And having a player who can’t can’t play football starting again
McLoughlin the main culprit with misplaced passes. Hasn't the skillset for playing the top teams.
Kerrys superior kickpassing is once again showing up inadequacies in Mayo coaching systems. We are attacking slower because we can't kick long and accurate.
Two changes before game were wrong . Mchale and neary creative and attacking threat . Unlucky but also stupid mistakes and wides , which nearly always happens to us in finals in croker . But far from over !
Poor from ROD not to kick that last 2 pointer, would have given us a massive boost
That slow, lateral, aimless hand passing is tough to watch.
Kerry playing far more direct.
AOS looking reasonably comfortable taking scores again too which is good
Kerry happy to let us play the ball across the D because they know we can't kick 2 pointers. H
McLaughiiiinnnnn
First time all match he hasn't had a meltdown near the goal
McHale is nowhere near county standard.
Getting wiped at midfield
How did we get to a final, brutal here for the most part.
Turnovers under no pressure killed us especially when we couldn’t hold our own at midfield.
We don’t have the primary ball winners to live with the best teams. We also let ourselves down with very basic handling errors and our lateral over and back hand passing to no effect was in stark contrast to Kerry.
Mcstay and Rochford clueless. So slow in attack and then playing 6/7 midfielders and getting dominated at kick outs.. :/
We’re not going to get far in the championship if we keep playing a system tailored towards the old rules.We are slow and predictable.
Forwards seriously lacking big time as well with the exception of ROD.
They had to play midfielders to try and get possession. Would have been annihilated entirely with smaller forwards.
Management can't be blamed for players unable to move the ball forward quickly when they can't kick the ball long. Also can't be blamed for goalkeeping howlers or unforced handpass errors. We just haven't the players.
You won't win big games with a mediocre midfield. End of story.
Watch as the knives come out again for Rochford and McStay. A lot of people in complete denial about the standard of the squad. Couldn't even count the number of basic skill errors I witnessed in that match.
they clearly being instructed to play it slow and methodically to get it to shooters in scoring zone. They have O’ Shea inside to kick it to but it never happens. Mcstay trying to do what Dublin did but game has moved on now.
On kick outs , you don’t need loads of big men if you have good tactics and strategy around it. Look at Kerry’s team not exactly giants.
he was fairly lacking today
In a big game
Again
We are the very definition of insanity
Add Reid and Coen in as well
