The Stoke-on-Trent-born forward enjoyed one of his better days on Saturday, in some regards, as he fashioned three shots on goal before being hauled off in the 58th minute – the joint-most shots he has recorded in a league game this term, per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317896/MatchStatistics/Jack-Harrison). Former England U21 international Harrison also won his most aerial duels in a second-tier game so far this season against Derby, and penned a better pass accuracy rating than in three of his prior league appearances in 2019/20. That said, Harrison only completed 67% of his 27 attempted passes on Saturday, which was the lowest pass accuracy rating of any Leeds player to have started against [Derby](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381436/Live/England-Championship-2019-2020-Leeds-Derby). According to Stats Zone (via [Outliers](https://twitter.com/outliers1/status/1175484061072199683?s=20) on Twitter), Harrison also misplaced each of his eight attempted crosses into the box, while his only pass directed toward the six-yard box also failed to find a teammate. Harrison struggling to find a teammate has been a consistent issue with his game this season, in the eyes of certain members of the Elland Road faithful. Here are a selection of the messages shared after the Derby County draw… > Harrison plays as if he has never learned wingplay craft. He looks down and crosses blind every time.

Nearly 15 crosses first half easily and not a single one hit a man. Costa has to start at Charlton [#lufc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/lufc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > > — Sam (@Snadd23) [September 21, 2019](https://twitter.com/Snadd23/status/1175411297455923205?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > I think Costa in for Harrison is the more pressing need. Harrison tries hard but quality of his crosses was generally poor today.\ > Bam ford gets into the right positions and hold the ball up well so understand why Bielsa sticks with him > > — David Palmer (@davestillravin) [September 21, 2019](https://twitter.com/davestillravin/status/1175457513350848515?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > Too often Harrison crosses blind into the box. That is \*the” issue.

How any one thinks this is acceptable is beyond me. Having an immense first touch is completely irrelevant if it doesn’t end up with a ball in the box. So frustrating.

That surely can’t be true! Extremely poor beyond belief if so.

No excuse for this performance. Only 2 successful passes/crosses into the box. Only 1 attempted and failed crossed to the 6 yard box.
