Two now for Joyner. Another season of NextPro minutes for Joyner would be a waste. He was too good for it in ‘24. He was too good for it in ‘25. He’s too good for it in ‘26. To adapt the saying, if you’re the [best player] in the room, you’re in the wrong room. #AllForCITY

All of this “project” 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 could’ve just gotten better.

Corey Wray sold Klauss for this. Not acceptable.

I have no desire to live in the timeline of Perez and McSorley minutes over Joyner. #AllForCITY

HT Thoughts: It’s all a bit pedestrian. Cedi driving the play forward a couple of times, but there’s an overall reluctance to find an open #AllForCITY teammate in space. They’ve 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 #AllForCITY in the first half of 2026. Will SEA target Santos/Polvara like SD? #STLvSEA

"From winning Coach of the Year in 2025 to potentially being out the door in 2026 - that’s the true Bradley Carnell experience." Hate to see it. 🥰

I’ve realized that I never sent an update on why there haven’t been any breakdowns yet — my favorite thing to do and something #AllForCITY seem to enjoy as well. First off: yes, they’ll absolutely be back!

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.

Grr

San Diego FC: 2 (0.86 xG) vs St. Louis City SC: 0 (0.41 xG) #SDvSTL | #SanDiegoFC | #AllforCity | #MLS | 🤖⚽

My Polvara defensive concerns have all been realized in SoCal

#AllForCITY HT thoughts: - Finished half OK, but the first 20 minutes were terrible. - The press setup is horrible. It’s either Perez or Damet’s fault for leaving the breaker open, but it’s awful - Becher’s reputation continues - JSB worst player on the field so far #SDvSTL

This is horrific.

Ooooof 😬 #SDvSTL #AllForCITY

Sunday night away games are the worst. I WANT TO WATCH MY TEAM PLAY THE SOCCER ALREADY.

The Facebook groups are going to be furious to find out Klauss is good

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.

I'm listening

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.

The DP status is whatever, but burning GAM just cuz is exactly what we've come to expect from this club.

Biggest takeaway from this moment is that Tim Ream might be a serious USMNT 🚩 this summer.

Don’t forget - demanding players because they are from a certain place, whether that be St. Louis or São Paulo… is dumb.

Take a bow, Diego

If #AllForCITY were to challenge for the Cup, Marcel Hartel would need 40 G+A. There’s one.

HT #AllForCITY Thoughts: I’m at Epcot, watching on my phone. 6/10 performance. #STLvCLT

No surprises to Damet’s first #AllForCITY XI. Things to watch for on MD1: - Polvara: CB things - CMs: can Durkin/Edelman retain the ball for 90’ - WBs: Percentage of attacking moves that result in crosses - Becher: Score. #STLvCLT

This is a great question. “Best XI” would be RB; MM, TB, FF; CW, DE, EL, RS; JSB/CT (?), MH; SB

#AllForCITY, 2026 is here. Let's talk about it. open.substack.com/pub/chatcity...

The CCT 2026 Crystal Ball is coming out tomorrow. It's 6,000 words and has pictures. #AllForCITY

And with the death of the FBREF pizza (FIFA remains the worst), here's his most recent data:

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 #AllForCITY 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.

Day #3,613,143,151 of asking for Bsky polls. MLS returns to Energizer Park in 8 days. Make your prediction now. Where will #AllForCITY finish in the Western Conference in 2026? 1-7 8-9 10-11 12-13 14-15

Something else now, plz and thx

For those curious about how our buildup will look from the CBs. #AllForCITY

Begging for #AllForCITY to give me even half the emotions curling is giving me in 2026. 🥌🥌

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. #AllForCITY

I'm being told availability matters. Good thing... oh

Begging for #AllForCITY to give me even half the emotions curling is giving me in 2026. 🥌🥌

We didn’t get to see a lick of defensive third or attacking third play… but #AllForCITY is winning the cup.

That was, a preseason half. #AllForCITY

The first televised #AllForCITY game in 2026 features a defense only a mother could love.

*points at the sign* #AllforCITY

Starting to put together some #AllForCITY data and viz for my projections and predictions piece leading up to MD1. My current thoughts.

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

Probably one of these:
