da realsbet: Following a 1-1 draw with Derby, Jack Harrison was torn into by Leeds supporters.
A defeat against Charlton then led to further criticism for the promising winger who can seemingly do no right at Elland Road.
The 22-year-old is someone who’s been praised by Pep Guardiola in the past, a footballer that’s spent time alongside the watchful eyes of Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo at New York City.
Three colossal figures in the world of football, it doesn’t appear as though they’ve had too much of an effect on Harrison.
Under Marcelo Bielsa, he’s been handed extra trust – something that’s seen him fail to miss a single league game this term.
He’s started in every single one despite the fact he’s rarely produced the goods.

Prior to Leeds’ win over West Brom on Tuesday evening, the Manchester City loanee hadn’t been involved in a goal since the opening weekend.
Before the clash with Charlton, he’d mustered just one accurate cross from a possible 31 – failing to find a single man with five deliveries into the box against Derby.
At FFC we’ve banged the drum quite heavily over Harrison’s lack of chance creation but he’s now slowly starting to find his feet and is gradually improving in terms of his end product.
Harrison wasn’t spectacular against the Baggies this week but he was impressive, showing great persistence in what he did as he made a statement about his ability to perform when it matters.
This was evident for the goal as the winger took multiple touches inside the penalty area as he held the ball up well.
He waited for Gjanni Alioski to advance forward before feeding him for his first assist of the campaign.
That will undoubtedly serve as a huge weight off his shoulders.

As well as his assist, he managed three key passes – one of which was an accurate cross. It’s that area that Harrison has struggled in significantly in 2019/20 but a degree of improvement has been seen in his last two outings.
Versus Charlton he managed two accurate deliveries of the ball which were his first since early August when Leeds beat Nottingham Forest.
This certainly bodes well for Harrison who was at risk of potentially losing his place to Helder Costa before Pablo Hernandez was sidelined.
