Orlando City coach James O’Connor laments Lions’ lack of effort during loss at Chicago Fire

New Orlando City coach James O’Connor has repeatedly said he’s been intentional about giving players looks with the season winding down.

With the Lions playing on national television, hoping to avoid a drop to the bottom of the Eastern Conference table, O’Connor’s side completely crumbled. The Fire dominated Orlando City from the first kick, crushing the Lions 4-0 at Toyota Park.

“There’s individuals that I think are trying,” O’Connor said.
