Everton's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leighton-Baines-c21987, who was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to an injury.
However, the French footballer did a decent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 and kept him at bay for most of the game.
Distin said: “I've got absolutely no idea (if and where I will play). Everybody is back at centre-half nowadays, there's good competition. There are three or four of us with (Shane) Duffy as well.”
The former Manchester City player came to Goodison Park in August 2009 and has since appeared in 90 matches for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019. So far, he has scored 2 goals for the Toffees.
He made a costly error against Liverpool in the semi-final of the FA Cup, when he played a poor back-pass which was pounced upon by Luis Suarez, who went on to score an easy goal. Everton lost that match 2-1.
However, the 34-year old admitted that he would prefer playing in his usual position of centre back, but joked that he can even assume the role of a goalkeeper if his manager asks him to do so.
Talking about the match against the Red Devil which took place on Sunday, the Frenchman revealed that his major aim was to keep http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 quiet for majority of the game, and that he learned a lot from the experience.  
“He (Valencia) is fast, sharp, he can cross the ball. He can dribble past you, so you have to try and be simple in your passing and most important try to stop him.” He added.
The Toffees held the league leaders to a 4-4 draw and by doing so, opened up a 2 points lead over their Merseyside rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. Distin set himself the target of helping his side finish as high as possible in the league table, and vowed to give it his
all in the remaining four matches.
He said: “Maybe some people feel if we finish seventh or ninth, if we don't qualify for Europe it doesn't change much.”
