They say opinions are like ar5eholes..... Tim Cahill stayed too long is one that baffles me more than any other.
Tim Cahill embodied everything you need in a team player. Never gave less than 100% he'd fight to win a throw in like his life depended on it. He was a leader on the pitch, leading by example. Hard little [Poor language removed] who looked after his teammates when retribution needed to be dished out. And he was clever with it.
For me, his problem started when Moyes signed Felaini. supposed to be a holding mid, but was a bit of a liability there, so had to push him up. Definitely his best position still, but it definitely clashed with TC.
We definitely missed him. Imagine the impact he could have had from the bench. A player like that doesn't come round that often. We should have kept him & put him on the backroom staff.
So many fannies in the game & wasters who just don't care. Tim Cahill got it.

He left because he was no longer quite good enough, we knew it, he knew it.

Yeah was following the cabaye ball boy incident. Think he was actually sent off after the final whistle too. Wasn't the right way for his Everton career to finish but it was the time to sell as his legs had gone.
I'm reading his book at the minute only half way through and it's a really good read (although strangely there's a a lot more about Australia than Everton in it). The stuff about his upbringing is great and shows you were he got his drive from. True Everton legend.
" Punished " Cabaye for upsetting a ballboy , if I remember correctly

He brought a lot of energy and had an incredible leap on him considering he wasn't the tallest of chaps, his last couple of seasons he started to slow a little and I remember Moyes using him as a makeshift striker after Sahas legs fell off again. Nothing but fond memories of TC.
Yeah he lost his dynamism in his last season and a half here, but he was a top top player. Nominated for a Ballon d'or at one point, as an Australian and an Everton player in a generally average to poor side. Tells you all you need to know.
Never the best technically and lacked pace too, yet the brain on him was unreal in terms of identifying space and was more than enough to compensate for deficiencies in his game elsewhere. One of the best headers of a ball I've seen in a blue shirt too.

Surprised at the "slating" he's getting here tbh.
Not that it is a slating, but I expected everyone to sing his praises for a generation, he was the go to guy to make ALL the difference.
Loved the big games and always showed up at Anfield. He'll never dethrone Duncan for my favourite.
But he got what "Everton" are all about. Still loves us.

One of the unacknowledged Everton 'greats'. Not quite to the level of Dixie, Ball, the 'Golden Vision' et al but he got us, loves us and still does. Love 'Skippy' - same as Super Kev he bought into the club and 'once touched'.....
Players come and players go but it's the enduring legacy they leave behind and their love they retain that makes them special in the hearts of Blues

Legend of the era, what a guy, hope to see him back on the pitch at half time one game next season

Odd set of responses to be honest. Concentrating on the negatives and the final months/year he was here instead of mentioning all the good memories he gave us in that era over a 6-7 year period.
We have missed his desire in recent years and I regard him in the same category as someone like Kevin Campbell, just a tier down from Legend status.
