Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison has been criticised again for his latest performance despite Everton’s 3-0 win over Burnley.
As per the Liverpool Echo’s post-match player ratings piece, Harrison picked up where he left off on Sunday with ‘another frustrating night’ that lacked any sort of ‘end product’ in the final third.
The Toffees made it five wins in seven across all competitions on Wednesday with their win over Burnley sealing their passage to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, where they will host Fulham.
Harrison has started in four of those five recent victories but after an electric individual start to his Everton career, has come in for some criticism following his last two performances.
The 26-year-old registered an assist for Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s winner at West Ham on Sunday, but came in for some stick due to how often he ‘failed to deliver’ in the final third.
Harrison criticised for latest Everton showing
Harrison was handed a 6/10 rating for his performance by the Liverpool Echo with his wastefulness in the final third having come in for particular criticism.
“Jack Harrison – 6. Another frustrating night for the winger. Some of his play was neat and tidy, but just like on Sunday, his end product was lacking.”
This was always the type of player Harrison was at Leeds. One week he would look like a potential world-beater, but the next just nothing that he would try came off.
Thankfully for Harrison, Everton are winning games at the moment and that should mask some of his frustrating contributions, particularly if he is picking up the odd goal involvement like on Sunday.
Leeds are reportedly set to demand £30 million for the permanent sale of Harrison and if they can get somewhere close to that, it would be excellent business for a player who can be so inconsistent, and who they spent just £11 million on.
