It’ll probably be the latter. I haven’t heard anything about Evans returning.Is Evans back? Or McT/Case at CB?

Louis Jackson from the U-18sWho the hell is Jackson?
Of course it can. We’ve already played Casemiro as a CB last season.Louis Jackson from the U-18s
So, McT and Maguire as CBs, can't really be anything else
When Casemiro could runOf course it can. We’ve already played Casemiro as a CB last season.
True. Although he doesn’t need to run as much as a CB. Still probably has more positional awareness than McTominay. But whoever it is I’m not confident.When Casemiro could run
Wasn't there a doubt over Harry as well this week? We really are paper thin at the back.True. Although he doesn’t need to run as much as a CB. Still probably has more positional awareness than McTominay. But whoever it is I’m not confident.
Yeah apparently we’ll have to risk him even if he’s not fully match fit either.Wasn't there a doubt over Harry as well this week? We really are paper thin at the back.
Cool. Never heard of the kid.Louis Jackson from the U-18s

What match was that? Was it towards the end of the season?Of course it can. We’ve already played Casemiro as a CB last season.
Oh come the feck on, this is ridiculous. So none of our 6 senior centre-backs are fit? This is beyond a joke.Yeah apparently we’ll have to risk him even if he’s not fully match fit either.
Think it was against Burnley in the Carabao Cup.What match was that? Was it towards the end of the season?

We played Burnley in the League Cup, not the FA Cup.Think it was against Burnley in the FA Cup.
I’m not a superstitious person, but it genuinely does seem like we’re cursed.Have we tried getting a shaman in to uncurse our training ground?
Poch teams always have. Under other managers Chelsea have been just as timid against City as most teams in the league.For whatever reason Chelsea always tend to match City and I was hoping they'd get through. EtH's United doesn't tend to have much of a fighting chance against City as our chaos football is just exposed in the face of such an organised side. To make a win tomorrow worth it (and that is by no means a foregone conclusion), we'll have to try something different if we get to the final
Yeah Pogba’s brother.Have we tried getting a shaman in to uncurse our training ground?
Apart from under Tuchel where they knocked City out of the FA Cup semis then beat them in the CL final a month later.Poch teams always have. Under other managers Chelsea have been just as timid against City as most teams in the league.
I don't know why, but I just can't keep the Tuchel stint in my memory. In my mind it's somehow Sarri, Lampard, Potter, Poch.Apart from under Tuchel where they knocked City out of the FA Cup semis then beat them in the CL final a month later.
That's the spiritOn the game. I've never been less bothered about a FA Cup semi than I am for tomorrow. We're both playing for second place.
You can add Shaw to that list too…he’s been selected ahead of Maguire on plenty of occasions this season.Harry Maguire is now our only fit centre-back.
Lisandro Martínez is injured, Raphaël Varane is injured, Viktor Lindelöf is injured, Jonny Evans is injured, and now Willy Kambwala is injured. That’s FIVE INJURED CENTRE-BACKS. We get new injuries before every game, players drop like flies. Who the feck is going to play at the back?
Yeah, because ten Hag knew they'd be injured for large spells prior to signing them55m for a crock and another 10m for a loan crock.
Shocking, shocking management
To be fair though against city is the only time ETH changes his approach. He seems to defend low… hopes we nick a goal and then defends for our life. Didn’t work this season as we conceded 3 but we was leading up until 2nd half.For whatever reason Chelsea always tend to match City and I was hoping they'd get through.

Is Mount made out of glass? How is this lad injured all the time, he doesn't even play. And don't even get me started about Amrabat. He hasn't seen gametime in forever, so where did he get injured - while walking drunk from a pub? WTFTweet
