Rebels not out of the woods yet, warns O’Neill

CORK attacker Pearse O’Neill believes they have to discover a method of dismantling Dublin’s defensive system if they are to triumph in next Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

O’Neill has also heaped praise on Pat Gilroy’s side for the remarkable upswing in their form this season.

O’Neill admitted: “They set up very defensively, they filter bodies back and then when they turn you over, they attack at pace. You don’t see many fellas running through the Dublin defence. Tyrone hit a lot of wides but a lot of those were under pressure. They weren’t kicking wides from 20 yards out in front of goals, they were from out in the corner. “Nearly all teams do that now, they set themselves defensively and try to defend as a unit and attack as a unit.
