Clinton Morrison was not impressed with what he saw from Leeds United winger Jack Harrison in their Carabao Cup penaly shoot-out loss to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.
Leeds went into the game against Sheffield Wednesday as massive favourites, with the home side currently facing a crisis under the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri.
Harrison has been booed by Leeds fans upon his return to the club following consecutive years on loan at Everton.
But the winger is expected to stay at the club this summer, with Daniel Farke unwilling to accept sacrificing the depth of his squad in the wide areas.
Harrison was designated the Leeds number 20 shirt before the Premier League opener against Everton, suggesting that he will still be at Elland Road after the window shuts.

Tuesday’s match also gave Farke an opportunity to hand out minutes to several other players.
Among them was Noah Okafor, who signed for Leeds from AC Milan last week, with the Switzerland international handed his full debut for the Whites.
Lukas Nmecha arrived at Leeds on a free transfer earlier in the window and was also handed his full debut, after scoring on his first appearance against Everton.

But despite Farke’s strong selection, his side went into the half-time break scoreless against an inexperienced Sheffield Wednesday team.
Clinton Morrison was unimpressed with the Leeds starters at Hillsborough, who he said had been “nowhere near good enough.”
The former Sheffield Wednesday forward said: “With all the superstars they’ve got, Okafor, and people like Harrison and Nmecha and Joel Piroe, nowhere near good enough at the moment.
“Daniel Farke looks frustrated. The 3,500 Leeds fans that have travelled will be disappointed so far.”
Leeds still need something going forward before the window closes
Leeds are still attempting to bring in a new forward before the window shuts on Monday 1 September.
There have been links to Strasbourg winger Dilane Bakwa and Spurs midfielder Manor Solomon, who spent last season on loan at Elland Road.
And the performance of the Leeds front line against Sheffield Wednesday will only intensify the pressure on decision-makers to deliver Farke a new option.
