We are approaching one month later, and CEB has not yet made a gameday roster.

Not satisfied with the quality of this. Will do two next week.

HT thoughts: - The through ball half with CITY doing a pretty good job of splitting passes through the backline - Holse goal caps a pretty absent first half for him. Hugely important. - Mǎțan. - Toronto has done nothing, but CITY need a second. Only 3 clean sheets this year.

Don’t want to freak everyone out… But we are witnessing the first actual rotation from Yoann Damet. Durkelman and his CBs are all available, and neither is starting. Until tonight, we’ve seen rotations exclusive to specific positions and/or availability. #AllForCITY

If $425K in GAM got Eduard Löwen... $4 million GAM should've gotten #AllForCITY a central midfielder.

HT thoughts: - Ugly. - STL hasn’t done much wrong, but hasn’t done much right. Going to have to manage the fouls/fatigue well in the second half. - Sanger. 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 - Finish it boys. #AllForCITY

Very curious what the midfield plan is for the second half because Durkelman is going to be absolutely knackered.

He’s gotta look for a job somewhere that doesn’t have internet. Congrats on the new role with Pyongyang United FC

HT thoughts: #AllForCITY remains really good. Apart from Santos, who’s truly awful, hard to find a bad performance. Rafa, Carlo, Dan, Fallou, storming it. Most noticeable difference has been CITY’s willingness to hit long balls into the channels - likely a combo of new LCB and the 2 CFs.

With all the bias in the known world, Fallou has been outrageous.

Carlo Holse. Scorer of bangers. He always takes really small strides and it’s slightly unsettling to watch.

We are thirty-two (32) minutes away from an Alexandru Mățan G+ card. Projecting as a top-5 #AllForCITY card in 2026.

Rafael Santos would go viral in one of those TikToks where you find out your coworkers don’t know how to run.

HT thoughts: - Santos for Wallem destroyed midfield rotations that worked so well in Vancouver. - Durkelman is a front-foot pairing. STL is on the back foot. - Adding those two together equals what we are watching. #AllForCITY is unable to move the ball forward.

In a long, storied line of bad #AllForCITY leftbacks… Rafael Santos makes his case for inclusion.

Hard to imagine Damet, who already doesn't play Perez, playing Brunet. Here's his small sample size MLSNP card:
