There were positives to be gleaned from the Chicago Fire’s 1-1 draw Saturday vs. D.C. United -- another stout defensive performance and well-crafted set-piece goal, among them -- but head coach Veljko Paunovic was honest in his assessment of his side’s overall performance Monday afternoon.
“We are still a team who has to improve, who is building the style and as I said before it’s going to take time,” he said. “I’m very honest what we are doing and where we are in this process, and right now we are not where we want to be. It’s a long way to go still but I’m very confident we will reach our goal, which is to be a winning team and in the end be a team that will fight for the playoffs.
