Everton FC must relax to beat Chelsea says old boy Graham Stuart
GRAHAM STUART today insisted Everton can beat Chelsea at their 'fortress' Stamford Bridge - if they relax and play attacking football.[LNB]The former Chelsea and Everton midfielder thinks the Toffees' respectable record in West London should give them confidence ahead of their clash on Saturday.[LNB]Carlo Ancelotti's high-flyers will be hurting from their rare defeat against Manchester City last weekend, and will be looking to get their title bid back on track.[LNB]But David Moyes' men travel to the capital on the back of a morale-boosting draw with Spurs, and Stuart believes they are capable of a win.[LNB]He said: 'I don't know if there is ever a good time to go to Stamford Bridge. They have made that place a fortress and after losing to City you've got to think it's very rare they lose two on the spin.[LNB]'It's a tough, tough task for us but as long as we go there and be positive I think it can be done.[LNB]'I'd love to see Everton relax and have a go at Chelsea. I've seen too many teams just accept that they will be on the back foot against teams like Chelsea.[LNB]'I've been involved in teams where we have been chasing shadows all day, and I have seen it as a supporter - it's very difficult.'[LNB]'It's a plus for Everton that players of the calibre of Michael Essien are probably missing on Saturday. But the reality is that they just bring in a couple of other internationals.'[LNB]Everton have drawn during their last two league visits to Stamford Bridge, but have a point to prove after losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup final in May.
