Megson - We were shocking

olton boss Gary Megson was bitterly disappointed after seeing his side go down to a tame 3-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. The Toffees dominated from the off but had to wait until the 40th minute to go ahead via a Mikel Arteta penalty after Jo had been fouled by Andy O'Brien in the box.Jo then doubled Everton's advantage four minutes after the restart, showing great skill to bring a high ball down, turn Gary Cahill and bury the ball under Jussi Jaaskelainen from the edge of the box.He then got his second of the day with an injury-time penalty after Mark Davies had handled Dan Gosling's cross.Megson told Sky Sports: "Performance - we didn't have one. We didn't compete anywhere near as well as Everton, we will have been out run I am sure, out competed and out passed and really there's very, very few positives that we can take from that."ShockingHe added: "That's as bad as we have been all season - we were shocking. A lot of players have played nowhere near like I know they can play."We haven't competed - every header we came off second best, every tackle, every second ball - its just been a really, really poor day."The performance was particularly disappointing after Bolton had battled to beat Spurs last week."Everything that we did well against Tottenham last week - there were times that Tottenham passed it a lot better than we did - but they didn't out compete us, they didn't out battle us, out run us and really, aside from Kevin Davies who I thought did okay without being near to what I would expect from Kev, the best player that we had was young (Chris) Basham when he went on the field," said Megson.Asked how crucial the second goal was, Megson replied: "Well we had wasted the first 45 minutes and just hung onto a 1-0 loss, we just didn't do anything at all.Irate"We spoke at half-time - or we didn't speak it was a bit irate at half-time - that we needed to start showing a little bit of pride, start competing, score the next goal and, you know, this team that we're playing against played for two hours on Wednesday but we didn't do that."The centre-half ran under the ball, it's a really soft goal from our point of view and the game was over."He was upset his side did not work Everton when they had the ball."If you're not going to be constructive when you've got the ball, then you've certainly got to be a lot better when you haven't."That's as bad a performance - we've had some poor performances - but that's as bad a performance as I've seen at Bolton," he said, adding if the team play as poorly as that in up-coming games then they will be relegated.
