Distin: Toffees right to keep faith
Sylvain Distin has hailed his Everton team-mates for keeping the faith after the Toffees climbed to 11th place in the Premier League.[LNB] The Toffees were still without a win earlier this month and sat bottom of the table with just three points from six games.[LNB]But victories over Birmingham and derby rivals Liverpool, and a 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Saturday, have propelled David Moyes' men up the table.[LNB]Distin is now hoping Everton can maintain that form, warning they could be back in trouble just as quickly.[LNB]"At the moment we're on a good run but two weeks ago everybody was saying the opposite," Distin told the club's official website.[LNB]"It's football - when things go wrong you have to keep working, but when things go well you have to do the same. In football it can change very quickly."[LNB]Everton took a 17th-minute lead at Tottenham through a Leighton Baines free-kick, only for Rafael van der Vaart to equalise three minutes later following a Tim Howard error.[LNB]Distin was disappointed to concede in such circumstances but the French defender feels the Toffees should be pleased to come away with a point against Spurs, who finished fourth last season and are currently fifth in the table.[LNB]"It was 1-1 with a goal we could have avoided, so I don't think we should be ashamed about our game," Distin added.[LNB]"The only downside was the way we conceded, but I'm still happy about the result altogether.[LNB]"We have to be realistic, we were away from home against a good team and I think it was a good result for us."
