Frank Lampard and Dider Drogba won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League together in what was a golden era for Chelsea. But they are team-mates no longer. The duo both moved to MLS last summer and received a positive reception. However, their success since moving to the league has been contrasting.Only injury denied Lampard the chance to play against former Blues team-mate Drogba for the first time, and with the Ivorians Montreal scoring a late equaliser to deny Lampards New York City all three points last night, we assess their time in MLS so far and look at whats been said about them. How have they been getting on?Frank Lampard Frank Lampard has not played for New York City FC so far this season because of injury In 2015, frustrations from New York City FC fans were made clear before Lampards arrival as he decided to stay at Manchester City until the summer rather than play for the brand new MLS franchise from the start of the season.The sense of annoyance remains even into his first full season at the club.Injuries plagued Lampards start and he did not make his debut for NYCFC until August 1 as a late substitute.The former Chelsea midfielder scored three times in 10 appearances while also getting one assist as his side failed to reach the MLS Eastern Conference play-offs, finishing the regular season in eighth place. Lampard and Drogba enjoyed great success as team-mates at Chelsea It took Lampard until September 16 to record his first goal in a 3-0 win over Toronto FC.Before the start of the current 2016 campaign, Lampard told Sky Sports his hope of achieving great things in his first full season at New York City.But injuries have disrupted his campaign once again after he picked up a calf problem early in pre-season. It means he has yet to play a single minute so far in this campaign. MLS: Vieira winless run extends NYCFCs winless run has reached seven matches. Patrick Viera had hoped to have him available for Wednesdays 1-1 draw with Montreal Impact but, speaking after the game, said there remained no timescale for his highly-awaited comeback.We dont want to put any date because it would not be fair to him, Vieira said. Hes working hard, hes working well. When he will be fit, he will be in the squad.Didier Drogba Didier Drogba has been hugely impressive since joining Montreal last summer Former Chelsea ace Drogba won the hearts and minds of Montreal fans as soon as he set foot in Quebec. He was mobbed by supporters at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and he hit the ground running on the pitch.The 37-year-old scored 12 goals in 14 regular season and play-off games for Montreal.His goal-scoring form, combined with his hold-up play, helped lift Montreal from their mid-season slump to a third-placed finish in the Eastern Conference.In the play-offs, the Impact beat arch-rivals Toronto FC in the knockout round 3-0 - Drogba scoring one - before losing to Columbus Crew in the semi-finals.Pre-season was unsettled with rumours surrounding the Impact talismans future, with strong suggestions in January that Drogba would make a return to Chelsea in a player/coach capacity.However, Drogba confirmed on Twitter that he would return to Montreal to play his first full season at the club. It took Didier Drogba just six minutes to score his first MLS goal of the season as he scored the equaliser for Montreal Impact with a backheel While his start to the campaign was delayed after not playing on turf, he has been slowly re-introduced to the line-up.He first appeared on March 19 as a substitute against FC Dallas before next coming on against Chicago Fire just under a month later for 40 minutes. In those 40 minutes, Drogba scored a sublime back-heel goal to get himself on the 2016 scoring charts.The former Ivory Coast international made his first full appearance against Canadian rivals Toronto FC last weekend, playing 90 minutes in the 2-0 loss.And with that game kicking off a run of three matches in one week, Drogba travelled with the team, started the game and created the assist for the injury time equaliser.What theyve said Speaking in January, Frank Lampard believes the new MLS season will be a fresh start for him with New York City FC Frank Lampard (Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the 2016 season): Im confident actually [about the 2016 season]. I think weve got a good squad and I think we are going to add to it and change it further. Generally, I hope well have a good season and the play-offs are a must for us.Didier Drogba (Speaking after Montreals win v Chicago on April 16): We wanted to pull off a great result here. We wanted to win. Were top of the conference, and we have to show more ambition on the road. This win does us a lot of good.What their coaches say Hes a real champion and hes going through a difficult period. New York City FC head coach Patrick Vieira New York City head coach Patrick Vieira: When you are talking about a player of his [Lampards] calibre, its always better to have him available to play games, Im feeling for him because hes a real champion and hes going through a difficult period, because of course he wants to be on the field, he wants to train and to help the team.Montreal Impact head coach Mauro Biello: He was a big part of the success of the team last year. Its important for Drogba to get minutes. Its about getting his rhythm and being available for us going forward. Get a Sky Sports Week Pass Dont miss the MLS. Watch live on NOW TV from ￡6.99.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ryan Nassib had a big chance to show everyone what he could do as New York Giants quarterback with Eli Manning getting the night off.He blew it after a good first quarter.Nassib was consistent in leading the Giants on a game-opening touchdown drive and cashing in on an interception in staking New York to a 10-point lead.But his three second-quarter turnovers led to 17 points in the Miami Dolphins 27-10 victory in the preseason opener Friday night.The start of the game was delayed 51 minutes by weather, pushing back the coaching debuts of Ben McAdoo of the Giants and Adam Gase of the Dolphins.Neither coach had a lot to be happy about in a game marked by turnovers and penalties.Miami had nine penalties for 61 yards and one turnover. New York had four turnovers and seven penalties for 56 yards.A 3-yard run by Rashad Jennings and a 20-yard field goal by Josh Brown following an interception by Jonathan Casillas staked New York to its first-quarter lead.Nassib turned over the ball on three consecutive second-quarter possessions to give the Dolphins the lead.Bobby McCains interception led to a 49-yard field goal by Andrew Franks. A fumble and return by Spencer Paysinger set up Damien Williams 5-yard TD run, and an interception by A.J. Hendy led to a 51-yard TD pass from Matt Moore to Matt Hazel.Marshall Koehn added a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter and Zac Dysert capped the scoring with a fourth-down, 16-yard pass to Thomas Duarte, a score that followed a fumble by third-string quarterback Logan Thomas.QB COMPARISONDolphins: Ryan Tannehill finished 2 of 4 for 8 yards. Moore was 10 of 14 for 122 yards and a touchdown. Brandon Doughty, the seventh-round pick from Western Kentucky, finished up and looked good, hitting 7 of 9 for 66 yards.Giants: Nassib finished 7 of 15 for 75 yards with the three turnovers in a performance that will not inspire confidence that he would be able to step in and replace Manning. After holding the ball for more than 18 minutes in the first half, the offense was limited to nine minutes of possession in the second.ROOKIE WATCHDolphins: Dolphins first-round pick LLaremy Tunsil didnt start, but played most of the game at left guard and held his own.dddddddddddd Leonte Carroo, the former Rutgers star who was Miamis third-round pick, had three catches for 18 yards. Sixth-round pick Jakeem Grant had four catches for 68 yards.Giants: First-round pick cornerback Eli Apple played well until straining his lower leg. Second-round pick Sterling Shepard had one diving catch for 24 yards, setting up the Giants touchdown.POSITION BATTLESDolphins: Franks woke up the Dolphins offense with a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter. Koehn showed a good leg on kickoffs.Giants: Big games for the rookies. Apple, Shepard and S Darian Thompson are all going to contribute, along with MLB B.J. Goodson, who had seven tackles, including two for losses.NOT SO STEAMYThe late start and the pre-game rain dropped the temperature to 76 degrees at kickoff. The rain convinced McAdoo to sit Odell Beckham Jr.INJURY UPDATEDolphins: Grant (rib), S Shamiel Gary (neck), DE Chris McClain (elbow) and DE Julius Warmsley (concussion) did not return.Giants: Apple and Shepard were hurt in the first half and did not return. WR Geremy Davis pulled a hamstring in the second half. Veteran Victor Cruz was already out with a groin injury.QUOTABLEDolphins: The defense got their hands on the ball multiple times and turned the game around for us, Tannehill said. The offense, we didnt get much going in the first half, first or second group. But they started getting their hands on the ball and flipping the momentum and really got the game going for us.Giants: Ball security is the No. 1 priority and I didnt do a good job of it, said Nassib, who has thrown 10 NFL regular-season passes in his first three seasons. We have a lot to work on, but the turnovers are unacceptable. You never go into a game expecting to throw interceptions, obviously when you fail its disappointing and frustrating, but we have to bounce back and get back out there.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
