Tim Cahill is Everton FC key man says Nigel Martyn
TIM CAHILL was Everton's Carling Cup talisman when the Blues reached the semi-final of the tournament two seasons ago.[LNB]The little Aussie was only just back from injury when he scored an extra time winner at Luton Town - a goal which earned victory in a tie which Everton had looked like losing, and kick-started a run which ended just one game from Wembley.[LNB]Cahill goes into tonight's fourth round tie with just two goals to his name this season, well below his usual ratio, and with a couple of uncharacteristic misses.[LNB]But former team-mate Nigel Martyn believes he's just the man to deliver another knockout blow.[LNB]'Don't worry about Tim,' he said. 'He'll finish in double figures again this season. I'm absolutely convinced about that.[LNB]'He had a great chance against Stoke and Wolves recently, but each time he probably connected with the ball too well.[LNB]'I'd be more concerned if he wasn't getting into those positions because then you could say he was jaded or something.[LNB]'I wouldn't even say it's a confidence thing. He just needs a bit of luck - one to go in off his shoulder or something, and he'll be flying again.'[LNB]Ironically Cahill is one of the numerous players David Moyes will have to check on ahead of tonight's tie after Zat Knight stood on the midfielder's thigh on Sunday.[LNB]The mounting injury list, together with the insensitive scheduling of the fixture - Everton's third away game in six days - has left David Moyes seething.
