The Chicago Fire’s style of play under Veljko Paunovic has been inconsistent. Other than the highs of 2017, the Fire have really struggled to put a stamp on a season via a play style. This can get frustrating to watch because it stops the team from building towards anything in the long term. Sometimes Pauno seems like he is too worried about his job, and therefore won’t sacrifice individual games or growing pains in order to build an identity. Pauno’s ideal soccer is a very fluid and dynamic possession system that would be fun to see the Fire utilize again.
