2023/24 Jack Harrison

[davek]

….most important thing is he looked fit and competitive. He didn’t shirk challenges. One mazy run took him past a few defenders but he put his shot over the bar and plenty of link play around the penalty area.

I'm looking forward to some quality balls into the box for Danjuma and Beto to attack.

I don’t think it’s so much about whether Jack Harrison is an average premier league right winger or an excellent premier league right winger. It’s the fact that he’s a premier league level right winger that makes all the difference.

When you don’t have 1 (yes one) at all in the squad it’s another glaring hole filled.

We’re now getting close to putting out a balanced team of 11 competent players, some of whom are very good on their day (DCL, McNeil, Beto as examples) all playing in their correct positions.

Last year’s games vs Arsenal, Brighton, Leicester, Wolves (1st half up until the injuries) are examples of what we’re capable of when that happens.

Shame he’s a left winger.

Better than Gray this lad

….played from the right last night, not a conventional winger based on that display. Finds himself in central positions or cuts in.

My main concern is us missing Iwobi’s running power in possession. He helps transition from back to front, noticeable we’ve had to revert to going long this season to isolated forwards. I’d hope Harrison can go some way to filling that void but time will tell.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He needs to be our saviour. We need quality crosses and about five goals from his this season. Same from McNeil, plus another 6-7 goals from 'juma. No reason any of them cannot achieve that.

DCL and Beto need to be getting 8-12 goals each as well.

Harrison will fill an Iwobi shaped hole in this team for sure in terms of work rate. His fitness is key to that.

I think McNeil stays on the left and playing him on the right is within his scope but maybe could limit his impact.

It'll be interesting how he copes with the different personnel at RB he's likely to need to acclimatise to all season.

Shame he’s a left winger.

Played on the right for the reserves last night though.

 

[Vaughan]

is he left or right footed?

 

[ToffeeTim]

is he left or right footed?

Pretty sure left

No reason he couldn't play on either side. Get crosses in from the left or cut in from the right to have a go.

of course, i just for the life of me couldnt figure out what foot he played off

…he’s a leftie.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Looking forward to seeing him fit & in the team. Looks a lively player.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Wouldn't mind seeing him play a more central attacking midfield role with mcneil on left and danjouma on right.
That's if dyche can get his head away from playing 3 defensive midfielders all the time.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Looks to have a good work ethic allied to no little skill from the twenty odd minutes I saw of him,he will improve us for sure.

To me I'd play him on the right, he has played for Leeds on the right before and pointedly played their for the reserves last night. Keep McNeil on the left were he's better and Danjuma behind the striker unsure we could have a formation that could play that, maybe play Harrison and McNeil as wingbacks?
