When Jesse Marsch succeeded Marcelo Bielsa as manager of Leeds United, Jack Harrison appeared to be a player who could find himself down the pecking order of the first-team. That's because Marsch favours narrow formations and - despite playing a few games as an emergency striker - Harrison's profile most suits playing as a classic winger.
Under Bielsa, the former Manchester City man stayed wide on the left and was at his best when he could swing crosses in for Patrick Bamford to attack. This saw him pick up eight assists in the Premier League last season, whilst he also weighed in with eight goals of his own.
As expected, on Marsch's arrival, he immediately shifted the team towards his favoured 4-2-2-2 formation. This utilises two players behind the strikers who operate almost as 'half-wingers', where their starting position is in between that of a winger and a central attacking midfielder.
