Liam Sheedy says Cork's hurlers have defensive deficiencies.
The Rebels take on Tipperary at Thurles in the Munster SHC on Sunday and former Premier County boss Sheedy told The Irish Daily Mirror:
"If they concede goals in Thurles, they have no chance. I'm like a broken record at this stage, but I've seen nothing from them defensively in the last 18 months to tell me they'll have it right for Semple Stadium.
"If they do, they'll be a real threat, because Seamus Harnedy, Patrick Horgan and Conor Lehane, they have real quality up front.
"They'll score, and they'll score as much as other teams, but the other teams will win matches. I'm not so sure they'll keep the score down at the other end.
"They've had a number of weeks now to work on it. Diarmuid O'Sullivan, Pat Ryan, Pat Hartnett, Kieran Kingston - they have really good men. They need to do something because defensively they had no structure for the last few years."
