Leaving our best CB ( Jan ) out of the final would be madness.
Vertonghen isn't our best CB, so no problem.

Should have played. Vertonghen really isn't able to organise a defence.
We would have been at least level at half time if he was on the pitch.
You must mean Dier then cause there is no way in hell Fazio is our best centre half - Jan has been strong this year and when playing well is excellent.
Why?.... Would he have somehow stopped Chadli committing a ridiculous foul on Ivanovic?Should have played. Vertonghen really isn't able to organise a defence.

I thought that both of our two centre halves (and indeed our whole back 4) played really well yesterday. Yes we conceded two goals, but both deflected and one off of a ridiculously conceded free kick.That's the problem with Verthongen, though. When he playes well, he is excellent but he will invariably have a brain fart in the box - as he did so many times this season - and undo all that excellent work.
Much as I would love him to be, I cannot see Jan as our long term solution at CB

Maybe he is injured
I knew we had a fully fit squad on Friday bit soldado said today that he was injured
He's played in 1 of our last 8 league games.
He's not injured because he's been used in the cups in the meantime.
Was he even fit? He wasn't even on the bench ahead of Chiriches...? Makes me think he might not have been available at all.
Or Poch thinks Chiriches is cover for both right back and centre half in the event of an injury.
