Although not a single goal was scored in the second half but I think the match looked more interesting. Being left behind by 1 goal made Fulham take the initiative to attack more, but all the efforts made by Fulham in the second half did not seem to produce results because Chelsea played quite alertly. Actually, Fulham had 2 good opportunities, it's just Petrovic was able to thwart these opportunities.
Petrovic made a lot of decent saves in the second half to deny Fulham the goal, I am starting to like him better for Chelsea than Sanchez. Chelsea still have a problem of finishing up chances that they create, and also difficulty in holding a lead in the final minutes of games. They loose control and become shaky in how they play. Fulham would have scored in the final minutes of the game, Chelsea already looked Vulnerable. Chelsea have been able to win three home games under the new coach, it is a good sign for the young team and shows the potential they have to blossom in a short time. Cold Palmer brought the flames to this new Chelsea side.
I agree with what you said because if you look at the match in the last minutes, Chelsea was unable to calm the pressure that Fulham was mounting on them and the moment Chelsea gets the ball, they will give it back to Fulham, instead of them using a simple logic of passing the ball to themselves and running round the field just the way they do play in other games.
Maybe Chelsea believed that it will be difficult for Fulham to score them because since the past six visits of Fulham to Stamford bridge, Fulham have never scored any goal, and that was what still happened toady. Is it that it is a curse or record that Chelsea has chosen to keep.
