Jaros meets the UEFA criteria for Home Grown, which seemingly Pitaluga didn’t.

Doak didn’t meet the criteria for inclusion as a HG or U21 - but Bobby Clarke does - so Doak took Adrian’s spot.

A tad confused as wee Ben is definitely U21

You need to be on an English club for 2 years to qualify in European squads.

Hence Pitaluga and Doak fell foul.

Captain Pedant here…

UEFA have an A List and a B list.

A List is max 25 players, with max 17 Overseas and of the 8 Home Grown, of which a max of 4 can be Association trained as opposed to club trained. - all our guys are club trained. Milner & Hendo, for example, were Association Trained.

List B is unlimited U21 players who need to have been with the club for an uninterrupted period of 2 years or 3 consecutive years with a max loan period of 1 year - with 15 being the starting age for the calculation.

So… this year Doak has to be registered on the A List - but next year he doesn’t.

If you remember a few years back when Kaide Gordon was breaking through before his injury and getting some League Cup time, we wondered why he was getting game time in the CL after we’d qualified from the group stage - this is why - he wasn’t in the squad, but the likes of Bradley & Morton could.

So this season, Elliot, Bradley & Quansah can play without being registered - I’m not sure why Clarke has to be registered as he’s been here 2 years.

Reg Clark, isn't there some rule about some of the players having been trained in England or something.

The Europa League. In fairness, it's a great name for an 80's tribute band from Liverpool.

It's the final countdown to the group stages.

I'm disappointed not to hear Adrian kicking off about this, then the thread title could be "Adrian dropped, cross" and it would all feel more familiar.
