It might seem like overkill to help you Know Your Enemy when facing a team for the third time in a season. But Chicago is such a shapeshifting, inconsistent, and broadly strange entity this year that there’s always some new weirdness to cover.
For example, Brandon Vincent (pictured below)… is a center back now? And the team plays a 5-4-1 that would look pretty doggone passive if Montreal’s old school Italian show up in Canada didn’t make everything else look exciting by comparison.
Two things that seem like they won’t change any time soon are Nemanja Nikolic’s ability to score goals and Alexander Katai’s willingness to shoot like Steph Curry (since the start of July, Katai has three goals on less than one Expected Goal, which statistically makes him Bizarro CJ Sapong).
