Cahill: We couldn’t hit a barn door at the minute

Everton midfielder Tim Cahill insists the team is too good to go down.

The Australian admits that the Toffees are in trouble after the defeat to Liverpool on Sunday left them just three points above the relegation zone.

“I think that’s the best we’ve played in a while. Our passing was good, we made lots of space with our movement and had two disallowed goals,” said Cahill.

“We were strong from corners too. It’s hard to take but at this stage it’s not going to get any easier.

“We’re in a lot of trouble – the only way we can get out of it is by playing and working our way out of it.

“We’re too good to be in this position.”

“It’s just one of those things and nothing’s going to fix it except our mental attitude as individuals and a team,” he told the Liverpool Echo.

“I’m a lot more positive though – we played better football and had a much better attitude.

“We couldn’t hit a barn door at the minute but I’m much happier with our approach.

“It’s the overall attitude and mental toughness that counts.

“The attitude against Hull wasn’t good enough but yesterday it was a lot better and we will keep fighting.”
