Chicago Fire Head Coach Veljko Paunovic wants to play a possession based offense like we saw in 2017, but not all of the players at his disposal are good fits for that. The Fire have seen some success with playing as a counter-attacking team early season.
Some of Pauno’s players are much more suited to counters than trying to play possession. I want to take a look at some of the players in the squad that fit each of these categories and some that are in between.
This isn’t going to cover a specific starting XI or the gameday 18.
