I was saying the same at half time.
Chelsea without the ball first half were the best side to come to Dean Court this season. Their pressing, their movement everything was impressive. I enjoyed tactically watching them rather than ball watching.
We might have given the ball away a lot (turnovers as our North American friends would say), but you have to give Chelsea the acknowledgment that they pressed quick and forced us to play it quicker than we would like and that forced the errors.
With the ball in the final third they struggled. But for that you then have to give Howe and the team the nod for performing the game plan perfectly.
Agree, but they didn't have the energy and fitness to keep it up.
