Sylvain Distin 300[LNB]SYLVAIN DISTIN believes Everton can handle the pressure of raised expectations this season despite struggling to find their rhythm in the Premier League so far.[LNB]The 32-year-old defender admitted he has mixed feelings about the Toffees' start to the campaign, with goals hard to come by and domination against Aston Villa last weekend going unrewarded.[LNB]But the veteran insisted that victory is close for Moyes' men, and nobody is panicking at Goodison yet.[LNB]He said: 'It's a mixed feeling for us. It's frustrating because the results are not really what we expect. Altogether though I think we've played quite well.[LNB] 'We haven't scored enough and conceded a goal each game but it's strange because everyone feels like we are doing OK.[LNB]'We are missing one or two little things to get the end result but playing decently.[LNB]'Sometimes it needs just a lucky goal.[LNB]'Last weekend they scored but then Steven (Pienaar) could have levelled with a great strike and it hit the bar. That's football.[LNB]'It seems like we have had to 'pay cash' for the mistakes in our games.[LNB]'We know that day when we win is going to be very soon and we all want it badly.[LNB]'We feel comfor-table it is close.[LNB]'We don't enjoy it so far, that is for sure but there is no need for any pressure.[LNB]'I am annoyed because the defence have conceded a goal a game, but I'm getting older and trying to relax about it a bit more.'[LNB]Meanwhile, David Moyes has welcomed the opportunity to use the friendly-rivalry with local neighbours Liverpool to benefit charities in the city during Jamie Carragher's testimonial today.[LNB]Familiar faces of the present and the past will be in action for both sides - with proceeds from the match going to Carragher's charity, the 23 Foundation, as well as a special donation of £25,000 being made to The Everton Foundation.
