I think Kerry have to, if they are playing, and we'll assume they're going to play again at some stage, Kerry have an issue with Michael Langan.

They haven't been able to get to grips with him at all.

It'll be the final though, right, before they can play again?

Could be the semi, I think.

Could be the semi-final either, but...

Langan scored four points in the league game, six in the league final, five again last weekend.

I think it's five two-pointers.

They just can't get a handle on Michael Langan.

And he's the one player that they must now focus on for, similar to Rorty on Pody Clifford and Brendan McColl on David Clifford, they really have to look out for Langan now because he's been so influential.

Jim Gavin made a pretty quick admission about that in the weeks after that game, even before the All-Ireland Final.

Yeah, you would have thought during the league that there was defensive improvements there.

And then in their last two games, they've coughed up 30 points, 418, I think it was, to Westmeath and 30 last weekend to Cork.

They were eight ahead in this match as well.

They don't defend well.

And defence is just not a thing.

We were talking about Kilkenny earlier and styles of play.

It's not inbuilt to defend in any sequenced or organized way, really.

And they have sought to bring that in.

And you could see a lot of sideline traps during the league developing and good things like that.

But they are wide open.
