If you can't find the beauty or the comedy in some of these plays, we simply view life differently #AllForCITY

Miggy BLIND to a cutting Edu across the middle was legitimately painful to watch #AllForCITY

@phillgrooms Agree in the abstract, but asking any of those 3 to do that regularly would be more negative than positive. The system should be deployed in a manner that doesn’t require it, until a player is there capable of doing it

@Beganovic2026 Are they waiting on something like the Grand and Forest Park project? The pavement should have been done 5-10 years ago and if the reason is it will be done "soon" as part of a bigger project, I'm scared "soon" will have a Compton bridge timeline.

This part of FP Ave badly needs a new pavement, it’s atrocious right now and this stretch is one of the most revenue producing routes for the City

@RoccSTL I really have to think long and hard if I'm going to watch the games away at Seattle going forward

@RoccSTL Fair enough to look at his overall numbers, but if he's not being deployed as ST here, then they become a lot less meaningful. Makes me wonder if his pressing is "really that bad" (to go at least 60 minutes) to sacrifice him being in his natural, goal-dangerous position?

Cordova’s 13.1 xGoT with RSL in 2022 would be the highest rated season in CITY history his +2.2 xGoT-xG, measuring shot quality further, would rank #2 behind only Gioachinni’s ‘23 season And his 10.9 xG would also rank #2 behind only Klauss’ 11.1 in ‘26 #AllForCITY

@RoccSTL Hartel doing striker-like finishing numbers as a mid is a feature. Córdova doing midfielder-like numbers as the DP striker (while currently stagnant in production) is a valid discussion point.

@willbrattonstl I agree he should've checked as he moved towards the ball, but Musa closed so fast Musa probably still wins it anyways (maybe Edelman fouls him instead of letting him run and pass)

@BenKrumsieg Every time you pass the ball you should also be giving a verbal information command; man-on, time, turn, 1-2, one time, etc So if Orozco said nothing, you have a point — but regardless, Edelman should also be checking to the ball and checking his shoulder

For me, while the Orozco pass was under hit, one of the early fundamentals they teach you as a kid — especially in the midfield — is to never wait for the ball; always check to the ball. Edelman cannot sit there and wait on that pass as a CDM in almost any scenario. The counter had been broken up and #AllForCITY won possession, but it’s those 2 half-mistakes that gave Dallas their only goal of the night on a play that should’ve been completely harmless. That’s one reason I was critical of Edelman last night, but he did redeem himself with a gorgeous assist and much better play later in the second half which I absolutely love to see and really speaks to the mentality of this group.
STL Soccer News@STLSoccerNews

Let’s break down the goal FC Dallas scored last night. After Timo’s deflected interception, CITY wound up with all three center backs and both midfielders bunched tightly on the left side. This left the entire right side of the pitch wide open. Orozco collected the ball with Logan Farrington on his hip, and his options were: play a short pass to an open Edelman, lay it off for the retreating Polvara, or pass back (and to the left) to Timo. He chose the short pass to Edelman, but under‑hit it. That left Edelman flat‑footed and unable to react as Petar Musa, who made an outstanding read and covered roughly 22 feet while the ball traveled, stepped in to take the ball off Edelman’s feet and turn upfield. Orozco immediately shifted across to cut off Musa, creating even more space on CITY’s right. Musa had a choice of either Farrington centrally or Deedson in acres of space on the wing. Musa hit a perfectly weighted pass to Deedson, who gathered and slipped his shot past both Bürki and the recovering Timo, who couldn’t get set in time to affect the attempt. In the end, the goal came from a combination of CITY’s poor initial positioning, Orozco’s misplayed pass, Edelman being caught flat, and a fantastic read plus an even better pass in transition from Petar Musa.

@RoccSTL With the same "confidence" of someone who keeps saying we might play in this stadium after the owners of said have repeatedly said "no"

@andrew_wiebe @MLS STL goal disallowed on the free kick at 14'. Also, here's an alternate angle I don't think was in the broadcast (at least in the immediate replays). x.com/i/status/20332…
Jeremy Clements@j_clem

An alternate angle of the call against Baumgartl that wiped out the #AllForCITY opener. I see lots of contact, but nothing outside the realm of normal for a set piece that close to the area. I also don't see anything that warranted the whistle. Just because a player goes down, does not mean there is a foul. If anything perhaps it was a case of incidental contact between the legs of Polvara and the defender; but its still soft.

The stomach flu ran rampant through the CCT household this week. It would only be fitting for the Wednesday debut to be on a Thursday!
Michael@ChatCityTactics

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! With the loss of some of our favorite data sources and the arrival of a few new ones, the format may change slightly, but they will be back! As the season approached, I also realized Mondays just don’t work for my schedule anymore. So I’m thinking Wednesdays instead — it gives a little more time to sit down, watch, and really think through the match. I’m also trying to be mindful that with a new manager it’s hard to draw too many strong conclusions early. The plan is to return next week with some takeaways from the first three games and what they might mean going forward.
