Counterattack vs. Possession: What is the Union's identity?

The Union have only played two games this season, but both of those games featured vastly different tactics. The game against Dallas featured a team that tried to hold onto the ball, and managed to keep almost 50% possession. The game against Columbus featured the Union of the last two seasons, abandoning possession and striking on the counter. Which team should we expect to see more of this season?

Let me start off with a bit of a disclaimer: I am not a soccer tactician.

I played some in high school. I am a fan who has followed this team pretty closely for the last few years.
