“Shocking Stats: Why Dyche Must Drop This Everton Star Who Had Fewer Touches Than Pickford!
Everton continued their strong recent form in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Fulham at Goodison Park on Saturday.
A second-half goal from former Everton player Alex Iwobi appeared to secure a win for Fulham, but Beto’s brilliant header in stoppage time earned the Toffees a valuable point.
This result extended Everton’s unbeaten streak to five games in the league, and they had also recorded back-to-back clean sheets prior to this match.
While the draw was solid, several players underperformed, particularly Jack Harrison.
Jack Harrison’s Performance Overview
The on-loan winger from Leeds United struggled significantly on the right flank and failed to justify his place in the starting lineup. Harrison’s contribution over 68 minutes was minimal, both in possession and defensively.
Statistically, Harrison was notably ineffective, losing 83% of his duels and failing to make an impact in the attacking third. He recorded no shots on target, just one key pass, and did not create any significant chances, highlighting his lack of influence in a tightly contested match.
Moreover, he managed only 29 touches of the ball—fewer than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who had 48—illustrating his difficulty in engaging with the game before being substituted well before Beto’s equalizer.
Why Jack Harrison Should Be Dropped
Sean Dyche must consider dropping Harrison from the starting XI, as the Leeds loanee continues to underperform. Despite starting seven of his nine Premier League appearances this season, he has yet to contribute with a goal or an assist.
His return of zero goals from an expected 0.86 xG underscores his finishing struggles and poor movement in the final third, failing to create quality scoring opportunities.
While Harrison has created two ‘big chances,’ he has yet to register an assist, with an expected assist total of just 0.84.
Defensively, he has been a liability, winning only 46% of his ground duels and 40% of aerial battles. These statistics indicate that the 27-year-old has been ineffective both with the ball and without it, reinforcing the argument for his removal from the starting lineup.
