Subbed on at 81 mins as Chicago (12th in the East) draw 2-2 at top of the table New England.

Chicago were down 2-1 when Collier came on. Fire stay 12th, and 12 points off the playoffs with 5 games left.

5 games left for Collier to try save his MLS career. But odds against that happening, and he's likely to be back in the USL next season. Hopefully wrong.

I'll generously say he got the pre assist for Fire's 2nd goal. Collier no 28, Chicago in the white.

Are you basing that on his game time, or some kind of media speculation? He might be a bench player in one of the worst teams but he is playing, and he counts as a domestic player.

I could well be wrong, Collier being a domestic player is certainly a big bonus for him & club. Are there enough young promising US players over all the 28 MLS teams that Chicago could definitely get an upgrade somewhere? Maybe not.

Certainly getting more game time than say Deklan Wynne got in his last season in the MLS, as a comparison. But Collier still getting limited playing time. Too date 324 mins, over 24 squad appearances. So 13.5 mins per game. He got 521 mins over 21 squad appearances last season (24.7 mins per game), and Fire are still pretty shark.

All depends whether Chicago are trying to slowly build a project and still see Collier as part of that (age 27 by start of next season), or whether they are going to take a broom through a squad that has been poor since he's been there.
