Leeds United told to drop Jack Harrison after 'subpar' display vs Chelsea
Jon Newsome has suggested that Leeds United winger Jack Harrison should be taken out of the firing line for a couple of games after a 'subpar' performance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Chelsea.
Harrison struggled at Stamford Bridge and was handed the lowest rating by Leeds supporters after the game. The 26-year-old scored one goal and provided three assists in his opening three league games, but has registered just one assist in his last 18 in the Premier League.

Former Leeds defender Newsome believes Harrison has been cutting a frustrated figure of late, and that it may be time for him to be dropped from the starting XI.
I thought he was sub-par,” Newsome told BBC Radio Leeds. “You can see his frustration in his body language, he’s annoyed with himself.
"But it’s just not clicking for him. And it’s not clicking by a long stretch. Little simple five yard passes. Little interchanges. Running up alleys.
“All little things you look at and go: ‘you should be better, you are better than that, Jack’. And they’re just not working. Maybe it’s the time to just give him a rest for a couple of weeks and let somebody else have a go.”

Gracia is now the man tasked with guiding Leeds to safety, and LeedsLive have taken a look at how the Whites' previous managerial targets are faring at the moment...
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi to return to touchline for Leeds United clash after FA charge
Brighton & Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi has served a one-match ban and has been fined £15,000 following his red card against Fulham.
De Zerbi was not in the dugout for Brighton's win over West Ham at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, but will be back for next weekend's trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United.
The Albion manager was critical of referee Darren England's performance in his side's 1-0 defeat to Fulham last month. Manor Solomon scored late for the Cottagers to condemn Brighton to defeat, and De Zerbi was shown a red card shortly after the full-time whistle.
