So much of the talk in the build up to Sunday's All-Ireland football final has been around Dublin trying to limit what - not if - David Clifford scores against them.
All that can be said about the Fossa man has been said at this stage, but acknowledging his brilliance and trying to curb it are two very different things, as most opponents who face the the 6ft 3" forward can attest to.
Colm Cooper knows a thing or two about terrorising Dublin defences but, speaking on the RTÉ GAA Podcast final preview, the Killarney man pooh-poohed the idea that the defending champions are some sort of one-man show.
"He generally delivers and that's the brilliant thing about him," Gooch said of Clifford.
"You can put your house on him in terms of delivering but he's going to need a lot of help. There's a bit of nonsense out there at the moment that Kerry are a one-man team; I don't agree with it at all.
"You've Gavin White, Seán O'Shea, Diarmuid O'Connor, who has been the most improved player. Since David Moran retired last year there's been a big feeling that Diarmuid was the man to fill the shoes but we just needed more from him. We began to see it this year; outstanding against Tyrone and quietly effective the last day.
"There's plenty to Kerry's bow, I don't think they're that one dimensional."
Ultimately though, the danger that Clifford possesses can't be ignored by Dublin at Croke Park this weekend.
While Dessie Farrell spoke in his pre-All-Ireland press conference of not getting too hung up on turning off the Clifford tap for fear that it would open up a floodgate of Kerry scoring elsewhere, the Dubs manager will know that he will need a few different game plans at the ready to try to stop the Kingdom's Talisman.
For Tomás Quinn, who was on the Dublin squad back in 2011, there's only one man for the job.
"For me Mick Fitzsimons is still Dublin's best man marker," said the St Vincent's clubman.
"You saw his battle with Conor McManus in the semi-final. I enjoyed watching that, it felt very much like a man on man battle.
"McManus kicked some great scores but Mick Fitz had two or three great blocks in the game. He had a couple of turnovers.
"The reality is that Clifford is going to score; it's how heavily he scores and can you limit that to a certain extent. If you can keep him to 0-04 or 0-05 rather than 1-07 or 1-08, then you're doing well.
"A lot of it will depend on whether they can get support over to him [Fitzsimons] without leaving themselves exposed for others to hurt them because Séan O'Shea did damage Dublin last year [and] there's other talented Kerry forwards there that will do damage if there's too much focus put on Clifford.
"It's the pressure on the ball coming in. He's a big man but he still prefers that one bounce [ball] into his chest, or something in front of him. Can they get a press on the ball being delivered in, reduce the quality, to give whoever it is who is marking him the chance to get a hand in?
"From a Dublin perspective you don't need to other think it. Mick is the guy and you give him every opportunity."
