Kerry legend Tomas O Se has described the Kingdom's performance against Cork last night as 'shambolic' after they were beaten by two points.
Peter Keane's side fell to a last-gasp extra-time goal at the hands of the Rebels and are out of the 2020 Championship at the first hurdle.
And in a scathing assessment of the performance, O Se didn't hold back on last night's Sunday Game.
"Conditions were tough," O Se said.
"When you see Stephen O'Brien being changed and Brian Ó Beaglaoich being brought in, and Kerry setting up as defensively as they did - I think they got it totally and utterly wrong.
"I thought it was shambolic from the word go. It was as poor a display as I've seen from Kerry since 2001 when they lost heavily to Meath.
"They played Monaghan, they played Donegal, and we were raving about how direct they were, about the shape they had, the more defensive they were...
"I think they set up with pure fear today."
O Se questioned the mentality of the Kerry players in the Pairc Ui Chaoimh clash as well as the defensive approach by management.
"Coming down today the one thing you'd hope (is) that no matter what else, the Kerry team would be in a mentally strong place to really go to war with Cork.
"That's a given (but) that wasn't there today.
"It's a question that's going to be thrown at management. The subs they brought on were all defensive.
"They brought on Killian Spillane - he went very well. At no stage would they change it up and go full on, and go manic pressing the way they have been up to now.
"I just though it was - on the sideline and on the field - it was shocking from Kerry."
