What the case of Berahino can tell us about fluctuating form in players

Perhaps it seems a trick of the mind, now, that two years ago Saido Berahino was a third of the way through a season that would bring 20 goals for the West Brom forward -- 14 of them in the Premier League. Berahino, would wrap up his account for the season with a brace against champions Chelsea, the first whipped past Thibaut Courtois from 20 yards out and the second drilled low into the bottom left corner from the penalty spot.

Back then everything seemed to be coming so easily -- notwithstanding that Berahino had, in fact, endured an eight-game goal drought before putting Jose Mourinho's side to the sword.
