Kieran McGeeney struggled to find positives following Armagh's defeat to Donegal.

"I don't know if things didn't go our way or we didn't do what we were supposed to do," the Orchard County boss said after seeing his side comprehensively outplayed.

"We were very sloppy. You'd expect a team to concede seven or eight points in a half, but you've to score as well. We kept giving the ball away on the '50' without any pressure, just sloppy fist-passing, no support runs and we let Donegal's rotation system pull us out.

"We played better in the second half, but the damage was done."

'Geezer' felt the occasion may have got to some of his players.

"The way Donegal play, they poke and they probe and they try to pull you outside your '65' and then they came at you in ones and twos and change the pace inside it.

"We were just stupid enough to let it happen.

"We had the same (chances), we had 25 shots, they had 25 shots. The difference is they were taking theirs and we weren't taking ours."
