Stephen O'Brien doesn't want Kerry to become over-reliant on David Clifford for scores.

Speaking to RTÉ ahead of Saturday's Munster SFC semi-final against Cork, the long-serving Kenmare forward said of the Footballer of the Year: "He's an exceptional player.

"But we maybe have a tendency to sometimes just put the ball in and expect him to put it over from the sideline.

"He’s well capable of doing that but we want to get more repeatable, team-work scores and if we can get that down we have the class with David, [other Clifford brother] Paudie and Seanie [O'Shea] to get those screamers the defence can’t do anything about as well."
