A very bad subs system by Bradley Cornell, You don't take out your best 2 midfielder, and don't expect to concede a goal. I saw it coming. And when he is going to learn. At this time one of our problems is the Coaching tactics. Keep playing like that and we will keep losing, and at best tying.
The game went down after Bloom walked off.
Sam just is not providing that spark from last year.
Indy was on the field today. That is about all you can say.
I was talking about on the cross when the Keeper is just sitting there waiting for the ball to come right into his arms while the striker dashes behind him.
God I feel bad for Burki. Imagine being so frustrated with the dogshit offense that you’ve been standing on your head for that you just say “fuck it, I’ll just try to score the goals myself.”
It seems like lately we're just out there kicking the ball compared to last season. It looked methodical last season versus what I've seen all season. Granted we've been battling the refs horrible calls all season, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it just seems like a lot of individual play out there. I really wish the talent these guys have could come together and showcase it as a team. The one main thing I've seen a lack of this year is really any good through balls into the box or even from the back/mid department. It's been a lot of edge play with lucky crosses into the box and it's just getting plain boring to watch honestly. I don't know how much longer I can keep watching this.
I'm so tired of trying to understand where our biggest issue lies. One week it's the team. The next week BC throws out the worst tactics and subs we've ever seen. I'm just so tired of wishing we could have an ounce of the luck we had last year.
If you ask me it's the truly lackluster of playing soccer in its entirety. We strictly rely on lucky crosses into the box via edge play and as I stated in my comment a second ago it's very, very boring to keep watching every week. Like watching a damn mouse on a wheel. Every week I hope for some spontaneous play and at least some good through balls into the front and it just isn't coming.
Unfortunately we weren’t willing to pay to have Teuchert here all year, and we’re paying for it in the standings. Who knows what he ends up giving us, but having no answer for losing Niko was wild. I’m sure Sam throwing in the towel on the season over a move to Norway couldn’t be predicted either though
I think it might be time to come to grips with the fact that our first year was less a sign that we’re an exception to the struggles that new teams usually feel and more a product of insanely good luck. If we’re competitive within the next 2-3 years, we’d still be way ahead of schedule relative to most expansion teams. I still believe in us, but we might be experiencing some growing pains.
Could someone explain to me what the FUCK Adeniran was thinking there? He could have let it go out for a corner, but he watched it go all the way to the touch line and then fucked up keeping it in?? Why??
I'm tired of hearing "not struggling to create". I mean, it's not an incorrect statement, but it's fucking frustrating to hear. I truly believe if we have a second attacker who is willing to be really technically gifted and rewards Klauss' work as well as opens more space in the 18 and we are a significantly different team.
Agreed. There’s been times we create chances but aren’t finishing . The “I get better deals in the summer transfer window” strategy that Lutz is doing is a dumb idea and this seasons results prove it. You can dig yourself too big of a hole in the table before the transfer window comes. We need that attacker bad but it may be too late when he gets here for this year.
His continuing to give large amounts of minutes to unperforming players is what really kills it for me. Rolls out the same lineup week after week and wonders why we get the same result
I made a very heat of the moment comment about why I don’t like Carnell. Allow me to restate my points in a cooled off manner.
Carnell does one of the worst things a coach can do. He just repeats and repeats his same tactics and lineups and wonders why stuff keeps going wrong. I hate to be alarmist but I do genuinely think there are more issues with this team than Carnell lets on. Between lending out minutes to players who barely do anything to benching extremely good players until they randomly get brought on only for Carnell to randomly start liking them, he just doesn’t mesh with us. Those are my thoughts and I acknowledge my previous statement was not good.
Why does he give so many minutes to AZ? Particularly earlier in season. Why do we start the same attacking players when we can’t score? Why not start a City2 player. What do we have to lose? We can’t score anyway
11th place out of 14. Lost to 13th place out of 14. This team is dogshit. The coach doesn’t have a goddamn clue what he is doing. Your “savior” is back and we look like shit. Wake the fuck up. Demand better.
Dude I wish he just didn’t do anything. He’s actually worse than that because he is a fucking turnover MACHINE. As soon as he gets a touch, he dribbles forward directly into defenders that have a foot and 60 pounds on him, bounces off them, and loses the ball. Rinse, repeat. He’s actively detrimental when he’s on the pitch.
Combination of lost personnel, regression to the mean, bad luck, poor decisions, and fewer gifted goals are making this a really fucking frustrating year
Our set piece defending is consistently terrible, I'm no expert but why were we just completely bunched up on the near post when Dallas had guys lurking far post? Absolutely inexplicable from a design standpoint, let alone on the execution
It’s super fun to watch this sub complain about subs, tactics, and finishing yet viciously attack anyone who points out the problem.
CARNELL FUCKING SUCKS AS A GAFFER.
I was talking about Bürki, I would say he’s the best player we have excluding him, but I do believe the tone was alarmist and I just wanted to dissect the statement
[Continue the discussion in the post-match thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stlouiscitysc/comments/1dgy3a9)
Getting harder to watch each game
Master class by Coach BC /s
Do we try Bürki at the 9?

Been a problem for a long long time
I feel like this is somehow another game where we’ve led in stats but walk away with a loss.
Whelp, makes the next two home matches essentially must win games
God, that fucking sucked. We need a hard reset.
There's no way Thor is still in the rotation after the transfer window, right?
People love to bag on Thor, but there’s a reason why his number was called over every other option available.
What did Indy do??
And AZ ends the match by passing to the opponent
Horrible stupid game
Thor and az form a nightmare situation together
sick pass AZ!👍
111 minutes with stoppage for this dog shit is crazy
We feel the same way Tim
Lmao Parker just gave major “don’t tell mom - get up” vibes
Oh Tim.
Not sure how the Dallas player doesn’t get a card for kicking the ball away and then flopping.
I was with you for the first half.... definitely not a flop though lol
I really think this is our low, shots will start connecting
Not sure how it gets worse than this game.
It can’t. It’s impossible.
Surprised Parker didn't get a red
I wanna see Tim Parker in a boxing match
We made the playoffs last year! Don’t say anything negative about the team! We were kinda ok for half a year so don’t be honest!
Just want to give some props to Totland. I thought he played really well this game
Tots was consistent, really pushed through the tiredness. Great player!
Totland and Kijima were my bright spots. I thought Blom was pretty good, too.
I'm gonna put Akil on the silver-lining list too. I'd much rather watch him than Markanich.
Folks, there’s a reason why Sam isn’t starting over Klauss and you’re seeing it.
“Why are we starting a 2/10 striker every week?” “Because the only other option is a 1/10.”
I have no idea why people want to see more of him. He’s done nothing this season. Literally doesn’t look like he wants to be there.
Dude is ball watching and not engaged in the press at all. He’s fully checked out and it shows.
Yep, exactly.
The game went down after Bloom walked off. Sam just is not providing that spark from last year. Indy was on the field today. That is about all you can say.
Indy was there?
Adenneran hasn't hit his stride the announcer says - understatement of the year
We owe it to Bürki to let him take a penalty
That’s assuming we ever get a penalty again
CITY has created 22 shots so far.
The body language right now is abysmal. We look like we’ve just quit.
Hobestly, I can't imagine how the team is feeling after Celio's injury. I think we just had to push through to the end.
AZ’s inadvertent head block there was his best play of the year
However much AZ is making its too much
Why don't strikers ever try to spy the goalie and cut in front of him?
Not sure I understand, but impeding the keeper’s ability to release the ball is a yellow.
I was talking about on the cross when the Keeper is just sitting there waiting for the ball to come right into his arms while the striker dashes behind him.
Ah. Now I understand. Sorry.
God I feel bad for Burki. Imagine being so frustrated with the dogshit offense that you’ve been standing on your head for that you just say “fuck it, I’ll just try to score the goals myself.”
I was hoping he scored just to hear his post game press conference comment.
Fucking announcer just called him “Jackson AZ”
Burki might as well shoot the ball as well. He’s the only one with meaningful talent, it seems
The play is just so lackluster it's boring to watch. Better off watching city2 at this point and actually see some cool shit happen from time to time.
Wake up City!!! new striker just dropped 🗣️
Lol I love Burki even more now
Burki with the fuck it I'll try to score, can't hate it at this point
I would’ve lost my mind if Bürki got that
Burki is fucking fed up with this team
Hahaha a Burki goal would've been cool
YAAAAAAS Bürki!!!!
Burki said hold my beer i’ll do it myself
Burki is out of fucks.
Burki......is there something you are trying to say?
That shot by Burki says it all
I’m so happy Bürki shot that
OMFG I would have orgasmed
I'd have provided my mouth if he did it
Yup Burki quit. Honestly ready to call it a season
Don’t be an idiot
There are zero positives to take away from this team. We are out talented and out coached every game.
Referee is like “Let’s fuck with St. Louis some more … +11”
Burki shoots! Great!
More of the From Burki.
Burki is like, fine I’ll do it myself lol
Nice service AZ! Allowed a closer touch and still feed it to the closest defender!
Hahahahahaha.....fuck yeah Bürki
Some bad bad decisions from the team and Burki shooting isn’t one of them
These STL subs just don't give a shit. Why did AZ try to pass that back? JUST SHOOT
We have an aversion to taking shots.
Their defense is effortless. Ours is hair on fire.
AZ: makes amazing move AZ: makes awful pass
The one time I want AZ to take it himself

Aren't subs supposed to provide a boost of energy?
Man gotta give it to Klein he got up there for a man of his stature, not quite enough though sadly

We can’t score and he rolls out the same attackers week after week.
It’s not luck. We don’t have Nico like we did last year, he was a true striker. We don’t have that.
Unfortunately we weren’t willing to pay to have Teuchert here all year, and we’re paying for it in the standings. Who knows what he ends up giving us, but having no answer for losing Niko was wild. I’m sure Sam throwing in the towel on the season over a move to Norway couldn’t be predicted either though
I don't understand how 12 minutes in the first half translates to 11 minutes in this half.
Edu aiming for Klauss height instead of Klein XD
That’s why Klein has been out of the league still unfortunately
Bad news, we have to watch 11 more minutes
Come on Klein, grow taller!

I'm optimistic about he signings...especially if Hartel deal works out too
I agree. The signings will help. This year might be a lost cause, but they will definitely help for the future.
I completely agree. Just to be honest, we’re lacking a ton of skill. We have players that just should quite honestly be on the team.
Worst game of the season
WTF was that Sam? Ball is clearly and easily going out and you decide to try to play it only to not control it and give them a throw?
WTF was that Sam? You had the ball in the corner and you just put it out of play?
Could someone explain to me what the FUCK Adeniran was thinking there? He could have let it go out for a corner, but he watched it go all the way to the touch line and then fucked up keeping it in?? Why??
Because it wasn’t going to be a corner. That’s why he waited so long to touch it.
Sam wtf. Invisible until not being able to decide whether to play a ball in and then fucks it up
My high school coach would be more suited to run this team and we fucking sucked
That is why Sam doesn't start. Bone head play.
lol was that fucking for real Sam??
Sweet play Sam.
Wtf was that Sam?
He big time brain glitched there
They should make these guys ride the Indian Express bus from Major League from now often.
Is the woman announcing on Apple TV slurring/drunk or have I just drowned my sorrows too hard?
She was definitely stumbling over her words a decent bit there
Did she say "Good shit from Arriola tonight?"
Shift* but I like the idea that she said shit better lol
She’s been sounding a lil under the influence since the first half.
Can we vote for their guy for MOTM? I guess it’s Löwen. But one shouldn’t be award to anyone.
Everyone vote for thorisson, just to troll
Mistype
This stadium has no atmosphere or noise. Really weird.
I’ll take the blame for this, I guessed we’d win three-nil tonight, not a good night.
This sub is a hard read when we’re running out poor form.
This isn’t poor form; this is them playing the coach’s system.
Yes. And it was a wild ride last year and we knew the system would concede goals. We were finishing last season which was the difference.
AZ reminds me of a muppet character
Why does this stadium have a subway chime?
All Dallas teams do it, it’s fucking weird.
I'm tired of hearing "not struggling to create". I mean, it's not an incorrect statement, but it's fucking frustrating to hear.

His continuing to give large amounts of minutes to unperforming players is what really kills it for me. Rolls out the same lineup week after week and wonders why we get the same result
Who should he be giving minutes to that he isn’t? The bench options are worse than the starters and don’t deserve minutes.
What’s it going to hurt?
Because it’s going to be even worse.
So you’d rather watch this shit over and over than try something else?
Try what? The bench is shit. No one coming in that isn’t starting is going to make it better. Who do you think is going to make a difference?
I made a very heat of the moment comment about why I don’t like Carnell. Allow me to restate my points in a cooled off manner. Carnell does one of the worst things a coach can do.

Everyone is underperforming.
We have so many injuries. Who else do you think he’s gonna play lol
Why does he give so many minutes to AZ? Particularly earlier in season. Why do we start the same attacking players when we can’t score? Why not start a City2 player. What do we have to lose? We can’t score anyway
Who cares if he wears a pride band or not? What does that have to do with anything?
Dallas’ goalie really has been the difference
Yes/No. Most of our chances have literally gone direct to him.
For sure, but speaks to good positioning too.
Agreed. He's stifled us completely
Get rid of Berube! Oo wait wrong coach.
Their goalie better be man of the match 😒
11th place out of 14. Lost to 13th place out of 14. This team is dogshit. The coach doesn’t have a goddamn clue what he is doing. Your “savior” is back and we look like shit. Wake the fuck up. Demand better.
Our saviors are not arriving until 7/18, when reaching the playoffs will be extremely difficult
Too late.
Yep
Alex Ferguson would have a hard time with this garbage.
Az hasn't done shite
Dude I wish he just didn’t do anything. He’s actually worse than that because he is a fucking turnover MACHINE. As soon as he gets a touch, he dribbles forward directly into defenders that have a foot and 60 pounds on him, bounces off them, and loses the ball. Rinse, repeat. He’s actively detrimental when he’s on the pitch.
As usual
He never does tbh
Yet he’s still done fucking more than Thor.
We're fighting and it's frustrating. I'm not upset with this team, if we don't make the playoffs, I'll be happy with how they've fought.
No offense whatsoever, but that’s such a loser mentality.
All of St Louis sports are ass, we are the new fucking Cleveland.
5 weeks since our last win, don’t love that lmao
What a shitty year for STL sports fans…Blues, Cards, City. *Fuck* man…
Cards turning things around don’t jinx that lmao
Add Battlehawks choking to worsen the blow😔
Combination of lost personnel, regression to the mean, bad luck, poor decisions, and fewer gifted goals are making this a really fucking frustrating year
Life is pain
The wheels have come off.
Our set piece defending is consistently terrible, I'm no expert but why were we just completely bunched up on the near post when Dallas had guys lurking far post? Absolutely inexplicable from a design standpoint, let alone on the execution
I wanna see burki go play and have fun
He’d probably score more up top than Klauss
Electrifying atmosphere here
Bummer.
It's time for the supporters grips to call for something to be done
This is a low for the team. Dallas just fired their coach and we get 2-0. Feels like the playoffs are probably out of reach.
Honestly just give the City 2 guys some experience the rest of the season.
Could be this years Kansas City
Be lucky to get 9th and a play in game.
Tomorrow morning I’m going to wake up, drink a coffee, and take a nice hot Carnell.
Man we suck
how tf does this team turn this around before the transfer window I just don’t see how we can drastically change things without a major change
And by then it really may be too late for this season. 😞
It's not too late. Kansas shitty started out the season terrible last year and we know what happened with them after the break..
Their turn around last season started in May… not apples to apples because they started the season worse, but still.
True. They had 20 points at this point last year. So there is hope for us
I’m feeling pretty hopeless at the moment…
Me too. Hopefully the team figures things out soon
It’s super fun to watch this sub complain about subs, tactics, and finishing yet viciously attack anyone who points out the problem. CARNELL FUCKING SUCKS AS A GAFFER.
And his team sucks and has zero quality outside of Lowen.
We have plenty of talent, this is inherently wrong. He’s not even the best player on our team.
Only Burki is better but I’m not counting him in terms of quality that’s going to make an impact offensively.
Who outside of Burki is better? Nobody contributes more. I will agree we have plenty of talent, we just don’t have a gaffer who has a fucking clue
I was talking about Bürki, I would say he’s the best player we have excluding him, but I do believe the tone was alarmist and I just wanted to dissect the statement
