Hello. If you sensed frustration, congratulations — your tactical sixth sense is working. Today, we’re talking numbers. And CITY's tactics. And my emotions.

Just looking for similar radars at the moment

It appears I may be hunting for unicorns with the #AllForCITY number 6.

The final week of the 2025 season is upon us.

I'm more excited about the offseason than this Saturday, which is a shame.

Fallou Fall viz just dropped. #AllForCITY

Those people would be very wrong

Michael @chatcitytactics.bsky.social · 9d

Gee I wonder why

Looks like a no comment from Bradley Carnell about being let go by St. Louis last year....

Sang-bin Jeong. 🇰🇷

Contract expires this year. #AllForCITY can bring him back in 2026 for the final year of his U22 deal.

2024: 2100 mins, 7 G+A on 7.6 xG+A

2025: 500 mins, 2 G+A on 2.1 xG+A

Extend him? Pick up the option? Let him walk? Your thoughts, please.

A Dyhr situation, if you will

Justin Horneker @hornekerjustin.bsky.social · 14d

The FBs that have positively added goals since 2023 have been Wallem (0.93), 2024's Tomas Totland (0.73), 2024's Anthony Markanich (0.13), and 2025's Jannes Horn (0.10). Jay Reid (-0.09) should get there next season, but it's such an important position for the game model that they can't get right.

This would probably be prohibitively time consuming, unfortunately.

But to the larger issue, yes, I would expect DPs to score against bad teams, and we have been the bad team.

Michael @chatcitytactics.bsky.social · 14d

Last 10 games = -4.5 xGD.

10 pts. 10.96 xPts.

Not good enough.

I think there is zero value in writing about last night, unless #AllForCITY can convince me otherwise
