A section of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to pile into Jack Harrison for his performance in their side’s 1-0 Championship win against Hull City on Tuesday night.
The Manchester City loanee played 74 minutes of the clash at the division strugglers, which was settled by a Tyler Roberts goal as Leeds returned to the summit.
Many United supporters were unimpressed by the contribution of Harrison, with comments including “circus act”.
This Is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets below.
COMMENTARY:
The Leeds fans calling for Harrison to be hooked against Hull finally got their wish when the youngster was replaced by Stuart Dallas with 16 minutes remaining. Criticism of the winger was a little harsh, given that he is just making his way in senior football and is standing in for Pablo Hernandez, one of the outstanding players in the United team. It would be odd if Harrison was consistently as effective as the hallowed Spaniard, or able to make the right decisions time and again. The 21-year-old has an excellent technique and touch game, as you would expect for a player honed by Man City, but he does over-complicate things and attempt too many tricks. That said, Harrison will only benefit from top-level competition and from exposure to the Championship, which is more demanding than any level he has played before. Leeds fans laying into him should be more understanding.
Harrison is so frustrating. His one touch stuff under pressure is different class, but give him some space and he'll confuse himself into giving it away #lufc

Take your pick for being hooked at HT: Ayling, Harrison, Klich, Harrison. All totally off it. #lufc

It’s a repeat of Sheffield Wednesday. We’re by a mile the better team but we have to score when we’re as much on top as this. Alioski and Harrison not doing enough when they have the ball #LUFC

Not a complaint, more a frustration.
Alioski and Harrison both get chance after chance to get quality crosses/final ball into the box.
More than any other team in the league if you look at stats and still don't produce enough.
How long does Dallas and Clarke have to wait? #lufc— Justin Hardy ?? (@Hardyboy79) October 2, 2018
Can we agree Harrison is a circus act along with Alioski. Show ponies both of them. #lufc
