Just a point against a beleaguered Leicester side on Saturday would have seen them move into fourth place in the Premier League table, albeit just for 24 hours. The way things have panned out with other results over the weekend three points against The Foxes would have seen them stay there too.
Add to this the poor performance in the FA Cup 5th round replay against Sunderland a few weeks back and the Blues boss is concerned that the side may just bottle it when it comes to the big occasion.
"That's twice now in a month where there's been a big expectation on us and unfortunately, for whatever reason, we haven't handled it," the Blues boss said after saturday's 1-0 home defeat.
"So, I'll analyse the whole thing, but I do believe it was just one of those horrible performances when six or seven players who have performed really well in the past few weeks didn't turn up."
