Horan has a month to sort out Mayo’s attacking issues

Match, mismatch.

When the plan is to play at a slow, laborious tempo with deliberate and very tactical attack play, can supporters ever expect an entertaining game of football?

Tyrone do precisely this. It is extremely frustrating to watch, worse to play against and for the Tyrone forwards, it must be demoralising. With Tyrone leading by three points, the only way for Mayo to get back into yesterday’s All-Ireland semi-final was through turnovers and mistakes. Tyrone obliged. Repeated lateral football with no forward momentum eventually led to errors — and then opportunities — for Mayo to seize possession and capitalise via excellent scores from Chris Barrett and Lee Keegan.
