“Zero points on the board after three games is just not good enough.
“They’ve been found out a bit in the league, they’re too slow with the ball coming out; coming back and forward and sideways. For me, they just need to be more direct in their play.
“Look at Mayo against them the last day; two direct balls into the full forward line and it’s a goal. Similar against Armagh; a direct ball into the full forward line and goal or a big chance.
“Dublin don’t seem to kick that ball into the 14 spot, but then again they don’t have Con O’Callaghan there. Maybe when he comes back, they might have the longer option.
“But at the minute it’s just too static and they need a bit of ‘je ne sais quoi.’ This possession-based football worked for years, but most teams are happy to go toe-to-toe now and just drop one man back to sit in front of the back line, so Dublin need to come up with something new.”

“Traditionally it’s not that easy travelling to Clones,” Connolly said.
“When I was playing for Dublin, we played Monaghan most years in the league and we really struggled to get a performance up there, the pitch will be heavy this time of year and Monaghan are actually starting to motor a bit.
“I was impressed by them against Armagh, even though they were reduced to 14 men. I’ve been impressed by Shane Carey as well in the three games and Jack McCarron is motoring too.”
“So I don’t think this is going to be a foregone conclusion for Kerry. I know they’re playing well and putting up big scores at home, but let’s see if they can do it on the road, because Monaghan are a bit of a bogey team for Kerry.”
