Chelsea pulled off a superb performance in the 1st half - they played like against us, but were pretty unlucky not to score more than 2 goals. I am still impressed with their ability to combine agressiveness and pace. Chelsea playing like this is a hard-to-beat-team that´s for sure.
Of course, Chelsea lost it after the equalizer. I was really impressed with Jerome Rothen. The guy is brilliant: fast, technically impressive and being able to pass very accurately. Great player !
I do agree with you there. Chelsea were all over them and when they went 2-0 up i thought they were definatly through.
However you have to remember monaco did have to great chances as well in the first half which went very close to going in. Chelsea really do seem to panic in situations like this in some of the big games.
