Darwin Nunez's first season at Liverpool saw him characterised as an agent of chaos every moment he was on the pitch, a wildcard who was the ace one minute and joker the next.
The £85m Uruguayan's campaign could be accurately described as hit and miss, with 15 goals from 42 appearances including 26 starts, with 12 big chances scored and 28 missed as measured by OPTA statistics.
And yet, amid the mixed bag that even saw him sent off for headbutting Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen on his Anfield league debut, Nunez's backers insisted he was a gem that merely needed polishing into something special.
