Jack Harrison didn’t have a great game for Leeds United.
Neil Redfearn has criticised Leeds United’s Jack Harrison for his performance in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat by Norwich City.
Elland Road played host to what was the biggest game in the Championship for any club so far this season, but Marcelo Bielsa’s side were soundly beaten on the day.
Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, was ineffective in a first half which saw Leeds trail 2-0 at the break, and Bielsa took him off at half time.
And former Whites boss Redfearn says that the young winger should’ve been delivering balls into the box rather than trying to over-complicate the attack.
He told BBC Radio Leeds: “There were times when the ball comes out to Harrison. He drops his shoulder and tries to poke balls into people in the box. Just whip the ball in! Get it into the box.
“Put the ball in the danger area and make people get on the end of it.”
Harrison hasn’t been a roaring success since moving to West Yorkshire last summer, and in hindsight maybe Bielsa should have started Jack Clarke, who replaced him at the break.
Consequence of the defeat, United slipped to second in the Championship on goal difference, though they still have a three-point cushion from third-placed Sheffield United.
