Dubs' goal concession concerns Christie

Paddy Christie says the goals that Dublin have conceded in this year's championship are a concern going into Sunday's semi-final against Kerry.

Laois (2) and Donegal are the only two sides to hit the net against the All-Ireland champions this summer but Christie says he's more worried about the manner in which they went in and feels the Kingdom's front men could punish them in similar style provided they're on form this weekend.

"They have class forwards. The fact they haven't been at 100%, or firing on all cylinders, that doesn't mean anything," Christie told 2fm's Game On.

"They are good players and if they kick into gear and perform then Dublin are going to be hanging on for dear life. But it's a matter of all the forwards performing well. 

"I would be afraid about the goals that Dublin have conceded. I know the goal against Donegal was from a wayward pass but that will be something that would probably weigh on Jim Gavin's mind a little bit.

"There were two goals against Laois as well. If Kerry hit the net a couple of times on Sunday I'd be very worried.

"If it's a pure score-fest I would think Dublin would be able to outscore them on points. I would hope there wouldn't be a lot of goals going in."
