Donal Óg Cusack says a "major review" is needed in Waterford after yesterday's 20-point drubbing by Limerick left them down and out in the Munster SHC.

“Their form has been atrocious,” the former Cork goalkeeper said on the Sunday Game after Pauric Fanning's underperforming charges crashed to a third straight defeat in front of their own supporters at Walsh Park.

“Since the 2017 All-Ireland final they have been on a losing streak. It’s going to be extremely hard to pick it up. I think there’s a major review needed in the Waterford set-up and as a total — not just on the field.

“They’ve some fantastic players. A good friend of mine has been involved with UCC for the last number of years and he has been continuously telling me that the best young players there are from Waterford. I think someone needs to go.

“I know from a player’s point of view when you believe so much in a management and if you think that the new management that’s come in aren’t going to advance you.

“It’s like if you did a degree and you wanted to push on and do a Master’s or a PhD that you’re possibly being brought back to secondary school.

“That can happen and that perception can exist. When that happens there’s big trouble in the camp.”
