Europa Squad

[GersInCanada 7,775]

From goup stages to the final. Some size of squad.

Jack's the same age as Halliday 😱...learn something new every day 

[ShanksRFC 3,882]

I see Jones and Docherty aren't on the list.

Slightly surprised at Jones seeing as he is only supposedly out for 4-6 weeks. Can it be changed or is that it for group stages?

[Davy Vandenbroucke 26,966]

Not really surprised at Jones missing out, by the time he’s back we’ll have played nearly half of our group games.

Won’t be a massive loss regardless with Kent back.

[rangersross 6,704]

There must be an opportunity for us to include new players after the group stages, surely?

[BlueMe 25,327]

Looks like we're just ignoring Grezda completely now and hoping he disappears tbh.

I would expect that to be the case as the players not is the squad are described as "Currently" not in squad. 

[Marky. 7,107]

Jones, Docherty and Polster the notable absentees there?

Jones with a mixture of injury and punishment perhaps, though probably just injury being the reason. Barker must not be out for too long if included in the squad.

Strong squad on paper now. Time to step up and play.

Aye but it means he'll likely play Thursday/Sunday at least 3 times.

Two out of the three games after the first three EL games are at Ibrox against poor opposition, wouldn’t be surprised to see Barker get a chance in those matches.

There’s no poor opposition in our group and certainly nobody we should be playing Barker against ffs

He must have seriously fucked Gerrard off

Aye never read that right 🙈😂 don’t think we’ll see much of Barker tbh, think it was a panic buy as we thought Kent wasn’t happening

Punishment would be a fucking stupid reason not to include jones.

 

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

I'm not following the reasoning behind this list.   Why no Polster or Docherty (or Jones for that matter unless the injury really is going to keep him out of the European games), but it includes Flanagan who I'd understood was also injured again and undergone an op.     There looks to be a lot of 15-17 year olds included who are never ever in their wildest imagination going to see any first team football this season never mind in European games.     It seems to be an odd list to have published.   And I thought Zak Rudden is now at Plymouth so how can he be listed.

Manager said he’s got a lot to do to get back into the team. Granted the first is to get fit, but Flanagan and Barker made it despite injuries.

Gerrard would be a very silly man if he damaged the teams prospects because he had the hump with a player.

Aribo a forward ha

Surely you man manage Jones and help him learn from the mistake rather than continue to punish him?

As a player Gerrard came on overly hyped up and got himself sent off within a minute in a Man Utd Liverpool game even though he was vastly experienced and he had probably played in 30-40 of those games by that point. It happens.

The boy made a daft mistake that will cost him a couple of months of his career, he will have had had the hairdryer and probably a fine but that should be the end of it.

Anything else would be bad management from Gerrard.

For him to not bite the bullet and at least try to make him part of the squad now that he hasn’t left Zidane/Bale style his attitude must be absolutely shocking. I did think there were flashes of a player from him as well at times so for us just to have completely given up on him he must’ve done/said something pretty serious

This might explain it https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/amp/newsid=2568290.html

The youngsters will all be classed as B squad.

We might not have 25 places available for the A squad if we don't have enough home grown players, maybe Jones has missed out as he's not expected to be fit until the last game or two

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Is there still a regulation for home grown players?
