I haven't seen Lahiff in the flesh yet.
This will be an interesting midfield battle.
Hes been a late break out to be honest, Dessie has being trying different combinations in there since the spring. Tom has been in the panel during that time but has only really gotten the nod recently. He is still finding his feet at this level, he looked a bit shakey in the early stages last week and against Galway but impressively grew into the game and showed more authority as it went on. He does the simple things very well in transition and keeps it all ticking over, is playing more of an anchor to Fenton, yet he has some decent vision himself. Dessie had him at underage. He was one of the standout on a very good Judes team in the Dublin club Championship. Hes not the finished article and is growing at this level but looks like Dessie sees something in him, but hes still adjusting and finding his confidence, he was absolutely goosed after 60 mins last week but had a good game, even if we were never under threat.
