I don’t think they bottled it but agree it wasn’t the tactics that lost us the game.In some part yes, but I think that’s been massively over-egged and the pathetic performance by the team has been brushed under the carpet. Nobody is telling me this team wasn't good enough to win that game:

Pep does something surprising nearly every week, all season, every season. Those players fucking bottled it!
I think we would have gone on to win without Rudiger’s shithouse challenge that forces Kev off. Or if it had at least been punished appropriately.
I think the combination of Kev going off and seeing Rudiger get away with it (and a few other highly dubious challenges gone unaddressed earlier in the match from him and a few other Chelsea players) changed our mindset to one of resignation that we weren’t going to be allowed to win it.
