In the first nine games of last season, Cristiano Ronaldo netted just one goal... in the matches that followed (and despite starring in the Club World Cup) the great man looked a shadow of his old self... losing control of the ball too often, not finding his feet well enough to dribble even a few metres, shooting haphazardly from all over the place - it would have been easy to write him off, and many did.
