Olof just writes the jokes for us now.

Olof said he felt they looked better for a period of time against SD, but when I asked that each time they've looked the better team, it hasn't gone w/a winning scoreline, Olof said he does look at changing tactics w/what's needed w/those available week in & out. #AllForCITY

So he deflected the question. Didn't give a valid answer. I am so done with "we were the better team". And losing.

mattbakerstl.bsky.social•22 days ago

On availabilities, Olof confirmed Edu Löwen will not be available for Wednesday vs SKC.

Kessler & Nilsson are back and available. Durkin should have been but "had a little bit of a knock in training" Monday so we'll have to see.

Alm is training but w/restrictions. #AllForCITY

You could sense a level of frustration in the video feed of this presser. SKC match is truly a defining moment for the season - confidence will be an even greater issue if the result is a loss.

I can’t seem to get an answer to this:

Is Edu with the team and not practicing or has he left the team again?

dferg1892.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yea I haven’t heard Matt or anyone else give details on this either. My guess is that he is not currently with the team and is back in Germany, dealing with his wife’s cancer again. And that the club will never publicly provide any specifics, out of respect for the situation.

gdubbstl.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don’t think saying, “Edu is not w the club at the moment.” Isn’t prying or disrespectful, IMHO. It just helps provide clarity instead of uncertainty.

dferg1892.bsky.social•22 days ago

Agreed. But at this point don’t think the club or the people who report on them will ever come out and say that.

How Durkin gets a knock in training when is a player that is trying to go back healthy.

Even Olof thinks a great opportunity for 3 points is when he's not coaching 🤣

xalowe.bsky.social•22 days ago

Apparently the coach for the game will be an assistant Olof brought with him from Sweden. Expecting to see the same exact thing on the field.

I was hoping for Hackworth.
