Tyrone's tactics are simple but effective - they've unsettled Kerry and Chrissy McKaigue believes the Kingdom are leaving themselves susceptible to counter-attacks by trying to force the issue.
Quote MessageTyrone are encouraging the kick-passing all the time. When you have players like Burns and Sludden kicking into those big spaces for McShane and Mattie Donnelly, there's only going to be one outcome. Kerry are forcing it and running into tackle after tackle. You have to be incredibly patient and when you start forcing the ball against the top teams, their counter-attacking speed will grind you down. There will be goal opportunities for Tyrone if they keep getting these passes into McShane.

Cathal McShane has simply been too hot for this Kerry defence to handle. He's kicked three points from play so far.
Kerry 0-5 Tyrone 0-9
It's been Tyrone's half, no doubt about it.
They've dictated the tempo and dynamic of this game, and haven't allowed Kerry to get their attacking game going.
It's all going according to plan for Mickey Harte so far. Will we see a response from Kerry in the second-half?
Kerry 0-5 Tyrone 0-9
Nial Sludden with what could be an important point. Four in it now as Tyrone move through the gears.
Kerry 0-5 Tyrone 0-9
Quote MessageAs good as McShane's movement and ball-handling is, those kick-passes are stunning. Frank Burns, well outside the 45, that diagonal ball was brilliant. It's exceptionally difficult for the Kerry defenders to cut out those passes but Tyrone are doing it to perfection.

Kerry are in real need of a point here but Paul Murphy can't oblige as he is fires wide from a good position.
A point before the break would be a big help for the Kingdom.
Kerry 0-5 Tyrone 0-8
Mattie Donnelly slots over another point for Tyrone as they go three points clear.
Over eight minutes since Kerry's last score.
Kerry 0-5 Tyrone 0-7
Quote MessageI think the game's being played on Tyrone's terms. For the life of me, I don't know why Kerry are leaving so much space in front of McShane and Donnelly. Jason Foley has had a good game so far and cut out a lot of balls but he's getting absolutely no protection.

It's a second point of the day for Cathal McShane as we reach the 20-minute mark.
Kerry 0-4 Tyrone 0-5
Niall Sludden opens his account for the afternoon.
Kerry 0-4 Tyrone 0-5
Quote MessageWhat can you say, he's only 20 years of age, has had a poor start in an All-Ireland semi-final but he still takes on that shot and absolutely nails it. Top, top quality from David Clifford. The game has really come to life. There have been a few good attacks from both sides. Tyrone have caused problems but Kerry have that bit of class, like we've just seen form Clifford.
