FTF Ep. 18 - Not Again! Fire Draw Union, Drop Points at Home
Episode description
Hey, Fire fans! Tell me if you've heard this one before: the Chicago Fire look to turn the corner on their season, play a great first half, then blow a lead (at home!). Once again, the Men in Red left Soldier Field with a sense of deja vu.
After a good first half where the Fire controlled possession, gave Maren Haile-Selassie his first goal, and earned a wacky own-goal from an odd Philadelphia Union clearance, defensive lapses and poor discipline once again doomed Chicago. In this show, Nick breaks down the goals, player and coaching performances (Why didn't Ezra sub in Wyatt Omsberg!?), and gives his reactions to the match. He also takes a look at Gaston Gimenez, a now polarizing figure on the Fire's roster, and explains why he'd like to just move on from the inconsistent, hot-headed defensive midfielder.
Good for Jim Curtin and the Philadelphia Union on stealing a point, but the home team played right into their hands and left their supporters saying "Not again" once again.
