Cahill back to his best - Moyes

31 January 2010 14:21
Everton boss David Moyes feels that Tim Cahill's second headed goal of the week shows the midfielder is fully back in the groove. Cahill followed up his flicked opener in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Wednesday with the late winner at Wigan on Saturday, crashing home Leighton Baines' corner as the Toffees triumphed 1-0 at the DW Stadium. It was only Cahill's fourth goal of a Barclays Premier League campaign that started slowly for both the player and his club, Everton's form having been hampered up to December by a demanding European schedule and a lengthy injury list. The Australian looked out of sorts during that period, but over the last two months as the team's results have improved, so have the performances of their talisman. Everton are now unbeaten in nine league games with Cahill playing an increasingly prominent role and Moyes is delighted to see the 30-year-old back doing what he does best. Asked about Cahill's goal at Wigan, Moyes said: "It's what he does - trademark Tim Cahill. I think he feels good about it because he knows he's capable of that and he's probably not shown it quite as much this year. But I think he's looking fitter and I think he has played better in the last six weeks or so. I think he is beginning to feel much more like himself."
