00:00Will, let's just take a look at Jack Harrison getting a goal away at Wolves. He's a player
00:08who we've looked at a few times in terms of his loan spell and whether his future is going
00:14to be at Everton in general. What do you make of him as a player and how he can succeed
00:21under David Moyes? It does seem from the outside looking in that every manager that he's working
00:26with, they do seem to take a bit of a liking to him. He played a lot of football under
00:31Sean Dyche as well. What do you think of Jack Harrison and how he'll be looked on by Everton
00:38fans? It'll be interesting what happens with him in the summer. His second season on loan
00:46has been underwhelming to be quite frank because there is a player there. We've seen him at
00:52Leeds, didn't we? Under Marcelo Bielsa. He was excellent. He was part of that Leeds side that
00:56came up and really took the Premier League by storm. As you say, before he joined Everton,
01:05Aston Villa were after him that first season. That shows you Nye Emery clearly knows all about
01:15making attacking signings. He thought that Jack Harrison could have had a role to play in Villa's
01:20upward trajectory. Last season, he started really well and then he had a blip because
01:25I thought he just got tired. When he arrived in the summer again for the second season,
01:31both Sean Dyche and Harrison both said there was more to come. To date, there's only been
01:37one goal and zero assists. David Moyes has instantly said that that needs to improve.
01:43He's not being scared to lay the gauntlet down because, look, at the end of the day,
01:48Jack Harrison has gone into the summer. Maybe he's burnt his bridges at Leeds. I don't think
01:54that he's very popular there among supporters and he might not want to go back. He has a chance to
02:00join a football club who are looking upwards, who are moving to a new stadium. He has the chance to
02:07end this season on a high because David Moyes has always liked him when he was at Leeds.
02:13It's about producing on the pitch now and can he do that? I do prefer him playing off the left.
02:18During his time at Everton, he's been unlucky that he has played on the right a lot. He hasn't
02:24got the natural speed to really just go and beat his full-back. He's had to cut back a
02:30couple of times. I think when he can shift to half a yard and get across into the box,
02:37that's when he looks more dangerous. If Everton want to play that type of football,
02:42I think that's when he is most effective. He's done well in the number 10 role on a
02:47couple of occasions in the past as well. I don't think he's a right-winger. Look,
02:50from now until the end of the season, he's got a massive chance because Illerman and Dye
02:55and Dwight McNeill are not really close to coming back and being fit. Jack Harrison has a chance to
03:02prove himself. If he puts a little run together, Everton might look at him and think, let's maybe
03:08make a deal there. It's been a second loan that's been a little bit disappointing but
03:14with a new manager in charge, he's got a chance to rejuvenate himself like a few of the Everton
03:19players have.
