Two now for Joyner. Another season of NextPro minutes for Joyner would be a waste. He was too good for it in ā24. He was too good for it in ā25. Heās too good for it in ā26. To adapt the saying, if youāre the [best player] in the room, youāre in the wrong room.

All of this āprojectā talk by Wray continuously misses a key point: There is no incentive in MLS to lose. The SuperDraft is inconsequential.
#AllForCITY
did not have to get worse in order to get better. That was a choice, but not the only one. We couldāve just gotten better.

HT Thoughts: Itās all a bit pedestrian. Cedi driving the play forward a couple of times, but thereās an overall reluctance to find an open
#AllForCITY
teammate in space. Theyāve got to find a way to increase the tempo and urgency in the final third. Our midfielders do not exist.

This *has* to be the lineup that scores goals for

"From winning Coach of the Year in 2025 to potentially being out the door in 2026 - thatās the true Bradley Carnell experience." Hate to see it. š„°

Good Q: Some of the data paints him as one of the unluckiest finishers in the league, due for positive regression⦠But other metrics tell a story that may resonate more with
#AllForCITY
fans: the quality of the shots lags behind the quality of the chances created.

HT thoughts: - Finished half OK, but the first 20 minutes were terrible. - The press setup is horrible. Itās either Perez or Dametās fault for leaving the breaker open, but itās awful - Becherās reputation continues - JSB worst player on the field so far

Miami are doing questionable DP to TAM loan deals for Tadeo Allende and Rodrigo de Paul. STL are doing questionable DP to TAM loan deals for Sergio Cordova. We are not the same.

A full season of RCB for Lillington would be very beneficial. Don't want to see him playing all over the place like in college.

XI. Things to watch for on MD1: - Polvara: CB things - CMs: can Durkin/Edelman retain the ball for 90ā - WBs: Percentage of attacking moves that result in crosses - Becher: Score.

It is best to view this through the lens of "there are no great options in mid-February." There's not much better out there, and

was always going to be on the back foot after Klauss.

There aren't a lot of ways this goes right, but there are plenty of ways it goes wrong. Looking at the conference, I don't see us escaping the bottom four. I'll take 12-13 on your scale, with some optimism that a relatively favorable schedule against the East could help boost us into 10-11.

Good time to remind people: the cards now include a top-right availability overlay (grey bars) showing the % of possible minutes each player actually played that season.

Having to put aside Edu's awful personal situation... We went through 2025 without a contingency plan for his absences - OstrƔk, Morales, and Durkin.
#AllForCITY
cannot, I repeat, cannot, be taken seriously if the plan is OstrƔk (?), Polvara, Edelman, and Durkin.
