Why has Harrison always been s**t at corners?

Some of our first half underperformers have picked up their game, still waiting for Okafor (to some extent) and Harrison though.

The year is 2056 and Jack Harrison is still inexplicably taking corners and struggling to beat the first man...

At least the other ones nearly as bad presumably didn't cost £18m ?

Wondering why you felt the need to add “… at corners”?

Darlow just passed the ball straight to our player, what’s he playing at ?

Piroe and Gnonto both have a lot of quality - we should use them more.

Okafor needs to be binned.

No need to bring on Aaronson, Stach or, especially DCL. Let them rest.

Bring on Longstaff and Byram.

Justin is a really good player - since he’s been on the game has changed

Just realised, it’s 59 years since my first Leeds game. 3rd round FA Cup vs Palace. 3-0 iirc.

Give him a chance - he may well be the finished product when he hits 40.

Willy does things Okafor doesn't seem capable of.

Great awareness from Tanaka for the second and Piroes footballing brain for the step over for the first..... Great stuff, be nice to see Piroe given a chance playing behind DCL but if an offer comes in we should take it and reinvest in a striker who can get us up the pitch providing cover for DCL.

If this in Harrison in the shop window, we will have to accept defeat and drop him off at a charity shop. He looks a busted flush right now.
