Moyes plans to get tough after defeat

Long-serving Everton manager David Moyes was left devastated after the defeat by Bolton and claimed it was the poorest performance by one of his teams since he arrived at Goodison Park. That was back in March 2002 and he looked drained after goals from Gary Cahill and Daniel Sturridge handed the home side a 2-0 victory. Moyes said: "The performance was as bad as I can remember since I have been in charge. "The toughness we have had I didn't think was there and it was required. We have been built on that quality. "The onus was on us to get the ball down and we did not do that. We also didn't do the other bit which was compete hard enough. "We did not perform. Players who have been performing well all season probably had their poorest game but I pick the players and I pick the team. Maybe I have just gone a bit soft on them. Maybe I need to toughen up on them again."
