Cahill-Watch

malfosse · September 30, 2012

It would be good to see him back some day just to give him a good send off.

Modern day hero.

Only way I'd like to see him back would be in a coaching or ambassadorial role.

LEAVE IT LADS

Damn straight. Let's blame Cahill for everything, it's all his fault and he forced Moyes to play him and never buy any other decent players. Let's completely forget all the brilliant stuff he did for us and the fact he carried the side with his goals before he went to the Asian Cup.

Blah blah blah.

I don't think anyone is having a go at Cahill or what he did for the club. Just commenting on how he played in his latter couple of years at the club. There was no mention of his play at Everton until someone mentioned him coming back on loan... and then people gave their opinion on that.

Tim will come back on loan in January?

I hope not...

Also he scored his first goal like ages ago!

If so, it still doesn't mean people should be claiming he is the reason we didn't do well. To say him leaving for the Asian Cup is why we played better is ridiculous. He was our team until then.

I hope I get to see NY play LA in the MLS Cup final. It would be awesome. He is a good leader by all accounts - and in that weird locker room that is NY, should be a huge help.

To say he was our team is equally ridiculous, if not even more so. He did okay, in a system that was designed to suit him.

I think it's more to do with the team developing into something better and if anything, outgrowing Tim Cahill, even if he did show a decline in his play. He is an icon of the club, I don't think anyone is denying that but he was also limited in some footballing aspects and that was highlighted in the latter part of his Everton career. Evertonians tend to call it as they see it and I'm with them in the respect that he wasn't up to the standard that we needed at attacking mid; Leon Osman would still be my choice to play there now.

As for the reason for this thread, I wish Tim all the luck in the world in his future endeavours and hope he scores bags full of goals for New York.

He was on TV recently and he said he loved his time at Everton because being there "teaches you what it means to be a blue." He also then went on about how awesome the MLS is because they have fireworks, national anthems, and jet fight flyovers at every game. Horrid.

Don't knock it till ya see it! I'm not the most patriotic person ever, but flyovers are pretty much awesome.

He'll always be a great ambassador for the club, he holds it in such high regard. Is this... circus atmosphere every game? Suppose they've got to do everything within their power to draw crowds like but it wouldn't really be my cup of tea. Patriotism and flag waving doesn't do it for me, fireworks haven't excited me for quite a few years. Jets aren't too bad I suppose... unless they crash. I appreciate how I come across as a boring [Poor language removed] here haha

Picked up highlights of New York- Toronto match. Not much Cahill it has to be said but Henry... even though he's in his twilight years, his quality just oozes through.

Quite frankly i think our form this season is largely due to the fact we haven't had Cahill playing behind the striker.

Agreed.

I want him to come back and get a proper send off from the fans. Would be great if the could come on the pitch at half time or something.

As for playing, Cahills day has gone, and I doubt he'd even want to anyway.

- Fat referees.
- Every team being sponsored by Adidas.
- Pizza Hut Park?
- National Anthems

I'm taking my "I like Rugby, you know...contact sports" style snobbery to new levels with this sh*t, the MLS blows.
