Brendan Devenney: Tyrone's desperation gives them an edge

Brendan Devenney believes that Tyrone's mixture of "desperation" and attacking firepower gives them the edge at home to Armagh in their All-Ireland group stage clash in Healy Park on Saturday evening (Live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).

Both sides enter the game needing a win to jump-start their All-Ireland tilt, with Armagh still reeling from their agonising Ulster final loss and sluggish display against Westmeath, while hosts Tyrone are still mired in a championship losing streak since last summer.

Having lost a dramatic Ulster decider on penalties, Armagh needed a late goal from substitute Conor Turbitt to squeeze past the Midlanders - in the Sam Maguire race purely by virtue of their 2022 Tailteann Cup win - by a single point in the Athletic Grounds.

Former Donegal attacker Devenney was unimpressed by Armagh's staleness and passiveness in their opening group game.

"Narrowly beaten in the Ulster final, the Armagh crowd were mad to get behind them and what we saw was a really stale performance, which no one saw coming," Devenney told Game On on RTÉ 2fm.

"Not taking anything away from Westmeath, they were well set up, they played well.

"The period where Westmeath (kept possession) for almost four minutes - that's disgraceful (from Armagh) at home, that Armagh wouldn't go and attack.

"I know teams are sitting in and there's a lot of stalemates. But at home, you've got to go for it. Particularly a team like Armagh, they've got to impose themselves on the game."

Since winning the 2021 All-Ireland, Tyrone have beaten Fermanagh in last year's Ulster first-round game and then lost four successive championship clashes, the most recent against Galway in Salthill a fortnight ago.
