It seems a lifetime ago when Cules were clamouring for Barcelona to rid themselves of a misfiring Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan was, admittedly, in the midst of a bit of a drought, but, importantly, was still doing all of the right things bar sticking the ball in the onion bag.
Often, when a player loses his touch or form, the other elements of his game collapse too, and it takes a monumental effort to scale the mountain and get back in the groove.
Suarez never let his head drop during the spell that he always once every season, and has kept plugging away and fighting the good fight.
