Darran O’Sullivan thinks the only way Armagh can beat Kerry in tomorrow’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final is if they go out and attack them.

But the four-time All-Ireland winner has his doubts about that happening after Derry threw up a defensive wall against the Kingdom in the quarter-final which made for painful viewing.

"I still find it amazing that teams think that they can beat Kerry playing like that," the former Kerry star told reporters at the launch of AIB’s Volunteer VIP competition.

"From hoping Kerry win an All-Ireland, that would be great, because I don't think Armagh can beat them playing like that. Kerry are experienced enough, they’ll hold the ball for 5,10 minutes at a time if they have to. If Kerry are holding the ball, Armagh can’t hurt them.

"If Armagh are brave, they have the potential to cause Kerry problems. They have enough pace, power and footballers on the attacking side of the pitch. I think they have more threats all over the pitch [than Derry]. But it's about being brave and taking risks and I’m just not sure that they’ll do that.

"I'm hoping Kerry are a bit braver and Armagh are too because we need a good game of football."
