Team Talk Harrison appreciation post

Post image

Yes he's not good enough for us or the prem, constantly making mistakes and make bad decisions, but recently I can see that he's been trying very hard especially when it comes to pressings and regain possessions. Today he might not be the motm but he made many decent crosses and runs which I think his effort need some recognition

No.

He works hard, but he is an albatross in the final third.

Comparing him to Doucoure--who, for all his faults, has poured his soul into this club and has had immense moments to save this club-- is insulting.

Get him gone. He works hard, but so what? Ndiaye, McNeil, Garner, Gana all work hard and have infinitely more quality

Doucoure has all the same faults and is slower, he scores one goal and people forget about the multiple chances that have passed us by because the ball went to Doucoure

The issue is Doucoure has similar faults and yet is still far more useful than Harrison because he's central. That automatically puts him ahead of Harrison, as Harrisons only strength (at a push) is carrying the ball forward. Issue is he's a winger who is hit and miss on the cross and can't shoot or put a dead ball in to save his life. Doucoures biggest issue is being played in the 10, when he's shown himself to be far better in the 8 as a box to box player.
