When checking out Matt Doyle's Elbow chair Analyst column over at the mothership, I came across his ideas on the Fire after their gain Vancouver. I'll mention again that while the workers has transformed a little bit (young people like Jhon Duran and also Brian Gutierrez are playing a larger function), the Fire aren't doing anything drastically various than what they 'd been doing over the first four months of the season. They're just stepping on less rakes at the back and also appear to have much better, extra cohesive talent up top. Is this real? Have the Fire really not transformed the means they've been playing over the last 4 months as well as It's simply been discovering the right workers ahead in as well as end up the task? The answer became a little bit extra challenging than that. The Fire's major tactical modification this period came with the arrival of Chris Mueller. He provided the Fire a genuine risk out vast where they didn't have one previously, as well as offered their assault some focused intent. However that's not actually why they started winning, although it was step one. The appearance of Guttierrez and Duran has been, as well as they have actually included the biggest wrinkle in their attack. Gutierrez and specifically Duran have added an upright threat. The Fire can now review the top of defenses, something they haven't been able to make with Przybylko or even Chinonso Offor in the lineup. As we saw versus Toronto, groups that aren't anticipating or repaired for the counter-attacks over the top are mosting likely to be crushed by Duran's rate and also power. And if they do stop it, his power and also intelligence can produce for his colleagues so he does not even have to rating, as shown versus Vancouver. Gutierrez offers you the adventurous creativity and also panache that is not only crowd-pleasing but also effective at beating defenses. This is mosting likely to be an unfair contrast, specifically since Guti lacks the nastiness and also attitude of the gamer I'm regarding to name, but one of the points Clint Dempsey was applauded for was his determination to just attempt stuff. With the round at his feet, Duece can almost anything. Safeguarding him was tough because he might equally as easily pass around you as gone through you, as well as it was 50/50 as to what he would certainly pick to do. Guti has something comparable going on. He can equally as conveniently put a relocation on you as back heel or flick the round to a jogger or make the straightforward pass

. He's currently difficult to protect and if he can maintain improving, he might be impossible to play honestly. So have the Fire dramatically transformed? Yes and no. They're playing mainly the same property with function style that they have actually been attempting to play, yet with the additions of Duran and also Gutierrez, they have actually included measurements that essentially transform exactly how groups have to prevent the Fire. From that perspective, the Fire have been substantially various.
