    At least this season Harrison is on track for double figures in goals again and the same with assists. Raphinha also best at the club with goals and assists. So doing their job even though at times Harrison is dire and cant pass, shoot or cross. No CF has killed us and using James has failed. Too long playing Roberts when Joffy should have been tried first. Rodrigo seems to be playing in his own position now and can pick a pass and will probably hit double figures in goals. Klich had a mare season and we have missed his goals this season, which has been a problems. Dallas playing in defence also cost us some goals he usuall weighs in…..

    Harrison Gave the ball away:
    23 times against Villa
    28 times against Brentford
    24 against Spurs
    11 times against Norwich where he didn't win a tackle and had a pass rate 67%

    I continually see him game after game slammed for his performances, when I have seen him play he looks poor,

    These were the first four results when I searched for Jack Harrison and his performance. I don't care if he doesn't lead the assists chart, I do care when he tops the chart continually for being the worst player on the pitch. He is lucky Firpo has played a few games otherwise he have been worse a few more times.

    I just can't find myself wanting a team managed by Lampard to win, I also feel Everton are worse and more likely to go down than Burnley at the moment

    fascinating rich - and the source for your stats and the benchmark for performance?

    so for comparison, according to whoscored, Harrison has a marginally better pass % than Raphinha, this season at c70%. Wingers always have low pass completion. Raphinha has more miscontrols per game, but granted is dispossessed slightly less frequently than Harrison.

    Various multiple sources mate, I’m just grabbing stats. It’s all opinion, I truly feel Harrison is awful, I remember the majority disagreeing with me when I said I’d not take up the option to buy, I’d send him back.

    James I feel for as he is continually played out of position and once we’ve secured our future we need to ship Raphinha out and cash in on him. When I’ve seen Harrison play, giving the ball away has been simple 10 yard failed passes

    he’s been rank some games fella but I don’t think he’s awful… I’ve never been a huge fan myself - I think he has great touch and work ethic but lacks a yard of pace and his decision making is erratic, but I feel there’s a player in there.

    I picked up on your stats because they were just a hatchet job <laugh>

    Harrison has the best control of a ball at the club. He has loads of skill. The problem Harrison has is that he tends to hang on to it too long and I think it's because we have no striker in the box. When Bamford plays Harrison tends to do a Beckham, which is get the ball out of his feet early and try and hit a dangerous area in the box. I just think the narrow system won't suit him.

    I've yet to see James bring a ball out of the air in one touch. For all his pace I've not really seen him skin a player and race away from them. I don't hate him, he probably puts in more of a shift than anyone else this season and that's to be applauded. It's almost like he needs to slow down a bit and get some composure on the ball. Again, the narrow formation doesn't suit him at all although he leads the press like a man possessed.

    spurs are after Harrison, they’ll go to at least 60m - based on their previous valuation of jack Clarke

    He might be a nightmare, but I'd rather have him than Roberts. Scored more for us as a winger than Roberts has as a striker.

    Not for me. Burnley are in the bottom three. A win for them takes us nearer to them and they have games in hand. They lose and if we beat Watford that’s pretty close to job done.

    That’s still one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen on a football pitch.
