season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/matchday\/ao-tanaka-becomes-indispensable-4-10-can-pack-his-bags-leeds-player-ratings-vs-derby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds beat Derby 3-1 in the FA Cup<\/a> on Sunday and advanced to the fourth round thanks to goals from Willy Gnonto, Ao Tanaka and James Justin.<\/p>\n<p>After Joel Piroe had a penalty saved by goalkeeper Jacob Zetterstrom, the Rams took the lead through Ben Brereton Diaz in the 35th minute.<\/p>\n<p>However, a second-half comeback ensured that the Whites wouldn\u2019t face an embarrassing FA Cup exit, and they bounced back perfectly from Wednesday\u2019s heartbreaking 4-3 defeat to Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/jack-harrison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison<\/a>, who was starting his first match since 18 October, played as a left wing-back, and his crossing into the box was particularly woeful at Pride Park.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jack Harrison has hit a new low at Leeds<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/leeds-united-features\/when-did-leeds-fan-rage-begin-over-jack-harrison-ahead-of-premier-league-opener-vs-everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison went to Everton on loan for two years<\/a> while <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds<\/a> were in the Championship, and only came back to the side after Daniel Farke\u2019s men secured promotion at the end of last season.<\/p>\n<p>With the January transfer window open, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/jack-harrison-prioritises-leeds-united-exit-as-official-negotiations-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison looks likely to leave Leeds<\/a>, with Spanish side Valencia starting negotiations for the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotmob.com\/en-GB\/matches\/leeds-united-vs-derby-county\/2vd3z0?player=751649#5089910:tab=lineup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FotMob<\/a>, he won zero per cent of his ground duels against Derby and failed to make a single recovery during the 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Stat<\/td>\n<td>Harrison<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Minutes

deliveries have been disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>He also delivered 14 wayward crosses in August\u2019s Carabao Cup second-round exit to Sheffield Wednesday, and no other player in the entire squad has had more than 10 this season.<\/p>\n<p>The English winger is simply not good enough, and to register those two dreadful performances against Championship sides is frankly laughable.<\/p>\n<blockquote

in January surely has to happen, as Harrison will struggle to get any game time in the Premier League from now on.<\/p>\n<p>How will Leeds fans remember Harrison?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/news\/daniel-farke-has-left-enzo-maresca-confused-ahead-of-leeds-united-vs-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Farke\u2019s change to a 3-5-2 tactic<\/a> doesn\u2019t help Harrison, as he is incapable of playing centrally.<\/p>\n<p>He has scored 34 goals and delivered 32 assists in 219 appearances, and has had some magical moments at <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/elland-road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His most memorable achievement was the 94th-minute strike against Brentford in May 2022 which helped the Whites avoid relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n<p>That will set him apart from many other Leeds players, although he has certainly soured his relationship with the supporters by moving on loan to Everton in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>With the Peacocks needing to bounce back from relegation to the second tier, Harrison left immediately in order to play in the top flight.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the fans will be glad to see him leave, as Leeds try to establish themselves as a strong Premier League side.<\/p>\n<p>However, his efforts in LS11 certainly won\u2019t go unnoticed, and he would deserves a proper send-off as a result.<\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"
