Leaving out forster was the wisest one, tho.

My thoughts too, but clearly not management's thoughts ! Things may change in the squad after end of EL League phase when, I think its 3 changes are permitted
Easy. One of Austin or Whiteman
Current Europa squad (plus some potential List B's) by position.
GK: VICARIO FORSTER AUSTIN WHITEMAN GUNTER
RB: PORRO GRAY
LB: UDOGIE DAVIES
CB: ROMERO VDV DRAGUSIN DORRINGTON
DM: BISSOUMA BENTANCUR
CM: KULUSEVSKI SARR HALL
AM: MADDISON BERGVALL BLACK
RW: JOHNSON ODOBERT
LW: WERNER SON MOORE
ST: SOLANKE RICHARLISON LANKSHIRE
Dropping Club Trained Austin and Whiteman doesn't create space for Spence, who is Association Trained.
I'm thinking one of the wingers to make space for Spence: Werner or Odobert or Richarlison. But form or injuries could shift the focus between now and end of January.
Doesn't help unfortunately, they're only occupying Club Trained spots of which we have plenty, and for which Spence is not eligible.

Who cares? We'll crash out at the QFs at the latest regardless because we couldn't win a one-ticket raffle.
Fuck Forster. I'd rather take a punt on one of the kids as back up. Get Spence back in.
Its a question to be asked in January, not now.
And the question is going to be which players do we need to help us get through the 3 double headers of Last 16, quarter finals, semi finals and one match final - all of these 7 matches likely to be against tougher opponents than most we face in the current league stage. That assumes we finish in top 8 and avoid the double header play offs.
Whereas we might have decided EL would give younger players a few 'easier' games to help give them experience when we made our decision in August, that won't be a consideration in January - and even that criteria may change the answer in January. Based on current form, its possible that Bergvall would be thought less likely to play in latter stages of EL (ie his game time would be in PL and domestic cups) so he would be the player excluded and Spence included, or it maybe that Moore has done enough to overtake Werner so allowing Spence in to the squad : and there may be other possible solutions
There may be incomings or outgoings in January, but otherwise its going to come back to having the best depth in EL squad in every position plus player form and injuries.
So no point in guessing now what the form of players or their injury status will be in January.

Didn’t even make the squad today because of a bug. So let’s just calm down a bit before we put too much hype behind a lad who has never started a league game for us.
He got a new contract to preserve his value and hopefully give him a second opportunity to make an impact here. But he’s still got a long way to go.

Hasn't he dropped a hint today on his Instagram he wants out. Something has gone on
He just signed a contract extension so I’d assume not.
He posted but no hint
Either play him or sell him. Stop pissing the bloke about. He's fit now, Porro looks knackered as does Udogie, if fit start him against Man City.
Spence has been treated appallingly by THFC. He showed enough pre season to be given opportunities in the team. If Werner deserves game time how is it that Spence is undeserving?
This has to be club politics in my opinion.
What can Spence have done that is so terrible?
We've had Bissouma on laughing gas and Bentancur auditioning for Reform UK.
