Jack Harrison and Frank Lampard made their season debuts in the second half.
Harrison made his Major League Soccer debut in the 57th minute, replacing McNamara. Steven Mendoza came on for Shelton in the 69th minute. The first overall selection of the MLS SuperDraft had been sidelined with a pelvic injury. Harrison, who played for NYCFC Affiliate Manhattan Soccer Club, split a pair of defenders in the 81st minute, but wasn’t able to get a shot off, but that was great impact.
On making his debut… “It was an amazing feeling being out there. The fans have been great this whole time, so supportive. Thankful to the medical staff for getting me back. It’s been a long 4 months working on rehab and stuff. But I’m thankful to get my opportunity and get out there.”
Frank Lampard made his 2016 debut in the 75th minute, replacing Pirlo, Vieira’s final change but his idea wasn’t enough of any luck It wasn’t great at all, fans didn’t appreciated his return. For the first time this season Lampard was among the game-day 18 after recovering from a calf injury.
“The only plus for me today is that physically I feel very good. It’s been a difficult injury – so to feel good and feel 100% and to come on and at least play a part is good for me personally but obviously a very bad day for us.”
On being with the team…
“There’s a lot to be done now. The first thing is that the league hasn’t changed much. We lost a game, we lost three points, so we have to put that in perspective when we look forward as the plus. Obviously seven goals is a huge negative. We need to address the things that let us down today. We were all very honest here. Now is a tough day, and we need to address that, but now we need to start getting back to the things that were helping us get good results. Now is the time to take it on the chin and show a bit of character and get a good result.”
On how he can help this team the most…It’s been frustrating for me because I haven’t been able to do that. I’ll try to help during the week as we have some young players here and I can help them with my experience, but obviously I’ll get fit and try to help on the pitch.”
NYCFC lost for the first time since a 2-0 defeat at Philadelphia April 23. NYCFC will look to bounce back against Orlando City SC next Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
