And Harrisons, the only difference is Harrison gives it his all and yet still gets stick. If Raph had turned up at those games we'd not have been in that position at the end of the season.
Nothing against Harrison as a person myself or his approach to the game but it doesn’t matter if you run yourself into the ground every single week, if you’re not good enough you’re not good enough. I do question myself though, that he has attracted decent interest so maybe I’m being too harsh
No not harsh if decent offers have been made then sell him. He tries to take too many on and lacks pace.
Harrison is a quality player who works harder than anyone else. He was also the top scorer from open play. He wasn’t helped during the latter half of the season by having to somehow try and score, create and defend his left flank all at the same time due to having probably the worst defender I’ve ever seen in a Leeds shirt behind him. A player who preferred to pick up a yellow card instead of tracking back. Would have been better having Harrison at LB with James ahead of him. Harrison definitely gets unwarranted criticism.
Contrary to what is said about him. Harrison knocks some quality crosses in to dangerous areas. With a proper striker up top his assists would have been up there too. Very underrated. He does lack that electric pace. Needs to take a leaf out of Beckhams book. Don't take the full back on all the time. Just get it out of your feet and swing it in there.
Fair play to Harrison no doubt he does work his socks off, and contributes his share of the goals but I think raph is a typical flair player when he's on he can be a match winner and off can be frustrating. As for not being in that position if he had turned up, well if the other players had also turned up on occasion we might have been half way and not looking like the noose was about to be swinging
pretty much this.. i actually think he's run into less blind alleys recently and got some early crosses in... to no-one Sometimes because he just has't looked up . But sometimes they've been great balls into the danger area where someone should be running. It's a classic fan thing. We spot the mistakes of our own players and villify them... and don't notice that all players put crosses into row z. He had a poor start to the season but Harrison has done well for us in the PL and that's why there is interest in him. Sure he's not got Raph's x factor but he's proven himself a premier league player. Not a direct comparison but just for reference... he has more goals playing as a winger than Che Adams has as a striker this season, but some want rid of Jack and would be happy with Adams.
Llorente hasn’t stepped up to the plate in my eyes, if he wants to go or we can get good money for him then Adios Amigo. Struijk hasn’t been the same player since the Elliot tackle, plus didn’t help that kraut scouse cnut running on the pitch screaming like a banshee to get him sent off, hate that twat.
