GAA PUNDIT SEÁN Cavanagh says he is “very worried” about the condition of the Tyrone footballers following their defeat to Roscommon in their Allianz league opener.
The 2021 All-Ireland champions struggled with their form last year in the aftermath of lifting Sam Maguire, and they produced another disappointing display in their Division 1 outing at Dr Hyde Park.
Tyrone conceded three second-half goals against the Division 2 champions which ultimately settled the tie for the home side.

“After seeing them in the McKenna Cup, I was worried,” Cavanagh said on RTÉ’s Allianz League Sunday last night when asked about his home county’s result.
“And after seeing them today, I’m very, very worried because they haven’t a lot of players to come back.
“We’re watching a lot of games and saying that there are five or six players missing [for each team]. There’s not a lot missing here in Tyrone right now.
“[It was a] seriously bad year last year and there’s going to be a lot of questions asked if the form doesn’t pick up soon.”
