Taylor Slams his own performance at the World Seniors Matchplay ” That’s me done. One leg closer to never throwing a dart again.'”

Phil Taylor was left raging with himself at the World Seniors Matchplay in York after edging out John Part 9-7.

Taylor was a shadow of his former self, and admitted after that he was thinking this was the end.

For large parts of the tie, Taylor was averaging below 80, in a very flat performance live on TNT Sports. Speaking to us afterwards Taylor knows that he needs to find a way to increase his performance levels at the Seniors because he’s not a quitter.

Taylor is yet to win a Seniors TV title, as Robert Thornton and Leonard Gates have dominated the stage in recent times, only Davis Cameron has stopped them from lifting TV crowns

The Power knows that he now has to step up if he is to add a Seniors title to his glittering CV.

“I’m trying to lift the roof off. It’s awful it really is but it’s something I’ve either got to stop doing or find a solution and it’s not me to stop or give in.”

“Rubbish. Absolute rubbish,” was Taylor’s scathing assessment of his own performance. “Every time he hit a double I’m thinking ‘That’s me done. One leg closer to never throwing a dart again.'”

“Every time I won a leg I was thinking ‘Oh no, I’ve got to carry on.’ That was in my mind honestly, ” the Power continued. “My eyesight’s not right. I’ve had new lenses in the up there and I can’t see properly. It’s strange I’m telling you.”
