Christmas came early for us #AllForCITY addicts. @chatcitytactics.bsky.social dropped his newest piece. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/chatcity...

#AllForCITY, this one took a long time. By my count, we ended up looking at over 1800 players. I hope you enjoy, and Merry Christmas! open.substack.com/pub/chatcity...

Coming down a chimney near you tomorrow. #AllForCITY

Nice

Lots of HC talk, and having an HC is exciting—I don't want to be an #AllForCITY party pooper... But I think the 2025 roster was set up for Olof to fail, and without significant upheaval, the same trap likely awaits Damet.

If there are any takeaways from Wray's Draft operation, it's that we are leveraging data over vibes. If this is the Wray, sign me tf up.

Ages of those players: 21, 24, 25, 22, 24, 27, 27, 24; 24, 22 May this be the beginning of the end of grown men playing for CITY2. This is the Wray.

SD = ✅ HC = ✅ Roster = 🟥🟨 > 🟩

It's here. The single best resource for the 2026 MLS Superdraft has dropped from @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2025/12...

The DAMNIT jokes live!

Today marks day 200 since Olof Mellberg's firing. It also marks day 896 of Diego Gigliani's #AllForCITY tenure. Here are some numbers for you during that timeframe:

This rocks and is precisely the type of HC signing MLS teams should be looking for. With no threat of relegation, swing for the fences. Home runs are worth strikeouts.

Decent player and all that, but not sold on his boost 🚀

I am excited to watch this guy play in 2026, and you should be too, #AllForCITY. #NotADP #SouthAmerican

If you spend any time at all in St. Louis, it becomes so apparent so quickly why soccer exploded here in the early 20th century and why it’s still a fundamental part of the city’s identity. It’s something you can say for so few places in this country. Respect.

You couldn’t find a better place for a guy who loves average Americans than coaching at a place that requires them.

Damet jokes write themselves, but Courtois is the winner here

I miss Jannes Horn... #AllForCITY

Sitting on the potential incomings piece. A head coach hire would be nice — hard to go beyond surface-level talk until #AllForCITY know what the system’s actually going to be.

Darn. Bummer to see bad things happen to bad people. What a shame!

Lol

ICYMI, we talked #AllForCITY, again.

It's real, it's long, some may consider it really long. But it's fun, too! (and Free) open.substack.com/pub/chatcity...

I think CITY announcing moronic roster decisions every Chat City Tactics Eve is actually a conspiracy by the tactics industry to sell more clicks.

Tomorrow. Friday. Noon. See you then. As per usual, it's long. #AllForCITY

Hey look, it's the Gateway Arch!

I really really dislike John Hackworth making decisions at my club

A rough idea of what the #MLS schedule change would look like.

Beyond being a good guy and a decent enough backup, my standing theory remains intact: Ben is #AllForCITY because Roman wants someone to talk goalkeeping auf Deutsch.

I think this is a @chatcitytactics.bsky.social @soccerzombie.com @mattbakerstl.bsky.social @shinguardian.bsky.social stat, actually.

I'm thinking next week. #AllForCITY

Posting a bounty: if anyone gets their hands on the current #AllForCITY squad evaluation slide, you know where to find me.

Lots of great #AllForCITY questions and quotes re: Wray, but no one has asked his opinion on a 6 yet, and that has me slightly concerned.

Plenty of red flags around St. Louis (see: club president Diego Gigliani pushing ahead on making end-of-year roster decisions before naming a new CSO). That said, Wray is well-regarded around MLS. I’d be happy about him if I was a St. Louis fan. Will he be given room to work?

First order of business - burn the “Energy Drink Soccer” playbook and erase those words from the lexicon

Corey Wray is good at his job. 👍🏻

As requested over on the other site - descriptions.

I have no idea how casual soccer fans are supposed to understand the MLS playoff format.

Scouting players for #AllForCITY feels foolish right now. We don't know what an actual Sporting Director wants. We don't know what our head coach will prioritize. And without those specifics, it's hard to scout with purpose. But a while back, I read some intelligent soccering folks talks.
