Oisin McConville: Kerry pay dearly for paucity of tactical ideas

Some might say it was a defensive game but the way players were going back to take up their markers was quite organic.

Marc Ó Sé had Bernard Brogan on the back foot, bringing him into the middle third for the first 15 to 20 minutes, and Stephen O’Brien was having a lot of success in the opening stages. It was interesting to see Liam Hassett running on to order Colm Cooper to stay closer to the Dublin goal. If he was going to do damage, it was going to happen there.
