The Chicago Fire, on paper, and out on the field should be one of the best in MLS. Despite that, something isn’t clicking out there. The defense remains to be a problem despite reinforcements in the back and in the net. As for the offense, the front line seems to be squandering their chances left and right.
Perhaps changing the formation could fix this? Head coach Veljko Paunovic rotates between a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 depending on the week. While those two formations produce results from time to time, Paunovic’s tinkering has left the team without a solid identity out on the field.
