Dejected Tim Cahill 300[LNB]TIM CAHILL today admitted Everton are in 'big trouble' after they tasted derby defeat despite finally finding their form.[LNB]The Aussie skipper believes his team-mates showed they are up for the fight of what is becoming an increasingly tortuous season, but rued their misfortune at losing a game they dominated 2-0.[LNB]He said: '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.[LNB]'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.'[LNB]The 29-year-old Australian international, who saw a trade-mark goalbound header spectacularly saved by Pepe Reina in the second half, said the Blues have the right attitude to drag themselves up the table. They currently sit just three points above the relegation zone, with one win in 12 games.[LNB]He said: '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. I'm a lot more positive though - we played better football and had a much better attitude.[LNB]On his chance, which would have equalised for Everton he said: 'I'm gutted I didn't score. You always think keepers left hands are weaker than their right but with Pepe at the minute he's just as strong on his left as his right.
