Cahill slams 'terrible' Bolton
Gary Cahill has admitted that Bolton turned in an extremely poor performance against Everton on Saturday.[LNB] The Toffees dominated from start to finish and ran out 3-0 winners thanks to a brace from Jo and a Mikel Arteta penalty.[LNB]Defender Cahill was disappointed with the display and upset that Bolton had not been able to build on their victory over Tottenham a week earlier.[LNB]"It just wasn't good enough," Cahill told the Bolton News.[LNB]"I know there was a late change to the shape of the team because Ricardo Gardner got an injury but the players that were out there were more than capable of getting a result. [LNB]"I can't put my finger on it. We just weren't at the races. It was terrible.[LNB]"We got a great result last week but coming here, we had to keep pushing on.[LNB]"We can never put a string of results together. We never draw games - one thing's for sure if people come and watch us, we'll either win or get hammered. That's the way we have been this season." [LNB]Everton praiseCahill believes Everton deserve praise after recovering from a hard-fought FA Cup tie against Liverpool which went to extra-time.[LNB]He said: "Credit to Everton. Their players are really good on the ball and technically gifted. [LNB]"Their wingers basically stayed up front. Mikel Arteta was brilliant but we did nothing. Everyone, including myself, will have to have a good look at that performance and ask: was it really good enough?[LNB]"We fully expected Everton to be tired but it wasn't the case - it looked as if we'd played in extra time the other night."[LNB]RespondGary Megson described the defeat as 'shocking' on Saturday evening and Cahill can understand his manager's comments.[LNB]"Exactly what he said is between the players and the manager but he wasn't exactly pleased at half-time and he let a few people know about it - and rightly so," he said. [LNB]"But at the end of the game it was more a case of disappointment from him. He knew the lads who went out there should have got a result for him. There's nothing you can say to that. [LNB]"The players need to respond themselves. I'll be taking a look at my own performance. As a defender, you can play really well and then make one bad decision and it'll cost you. That's what happened for me." [LNB]
