Marcus Harness Scout Report
Marcus Harness, the tenacious 28-year-old left winger for Ipswich Town, exhibits a distinctive playing style that is both tantalising and tough to handle. Despite predominantly playing as an attacking midfielder, Harness's greatest assets lie in his sharp goal threat and goal efficiency, scoring in the 81.82% and 72.73% percentiles respectively. Combine this with his ability to consistently execute progressive passes (80.52 percentile), and it's clear that Harness stands out in his ability to keep the opposition on their toes, no doubt contributing massively to his xG per 90 of 76.62%.
However, there are areas in his game that set off alarm bells. His dismally low percentile of 2.6% in successful crosses per 90 is particularly surprising for a left winger and should be a focal point for improvement. Additionally, while his 10.39 percentile in progressive carrying suggests a lean towards passing rather than running with the ball, it can limit his team's offensive arsenal. His ball retention at 19.48 percentile also leaves room for better ball control.
Overall, despite these areas of improvement, Harness continues to be a significant clog in the Ipswich Town attack machine, indicated by his high-scoring percentiles on metrics concerned with making the net bulge. His age of 28 hints that he's likely at his career's prime, and it will be intriguing to see how he fares in the future. The areas of needed development should not overshadow his ability to find the back of the net, a valuable skill for any team coveting much-sought-after Championship dominance.
