Jackie Tyrrell has labelled Wexford’s Allianz Hurling League performance against Clare as ‘shambolic’.

Despite being understrength, the former Kilkenny star didn’t spare Darragh Egan’s charges after they conceded 6-25 in a sobering 22-point home defeat on Sunday.

"Under Darragh Egan, one thing Wexford have is they've been hard to beat, and consistent," Tyrrell said on RTE2’s League Sunday.

"This was, without doubt, their worst performance under Darragh Egan. It was probably shambolic at times, particularly at the back. "[There were] four different incidents I saw where Wexford had the ball in their hands coming out of defence and coughed it up.

"You could say that fair enough Matthew O'Hanlon isn't there, Liam Ryan, Mark Fanning, Lee Chin, Rory O'Connor - which is the spine of their team - but you can't stand over not making an effort, lack of intensity, no aggression in the tackle, passive, going through the motions. Darragh Egan will be seething over this performance.

"It is an attitude thing. Their distribution was disjointed. Clare were at their ease, able to work the ball out with no real pressure, no physicality. Clare got six goals, it could have been seven or eight. It was really that bad."
