The past two seasons have shown Chicago Fire to be particularly vulnerable to late game collapses and this has been an indication of mental weakness. Whether it is a product of the players’ mental fortitude or poor strategy from the coaching staff, Pauno needs to make it priority number one to eradicate any mental weakness in the squad.
I sat at Toyota Park on Saturday afternoon in disbelief on several occasions. First, I watched the pregame festivities and wondered how this was the same venue that hosted a windy, snowy affair just two weeks prior. High 70’s and sun were a welcome sign for the Fire faithful as the team welcomed Montreal Impact to Bridgeview this weekend.
