Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has one more chance at the club, according to former Reds forward Robbie Fowler.
Suarez could face Manchester United in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday after a
10-game ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic
last season.
But after a summer where the Uruguayan agitated for a move, Fowler thinks it is time Suarez showed loyalty.
Suarez in numbers
Since joining from Ajax in January 2011 for £22.7m, Suarez has scored 51 in 96 appearances.
Scored 49 goals in 48 games for Ajax the season before joining Liverpool
Has scored 31 goals in 62 caps for Uruguay
After those two episodes, some
supporters felt aggrieved when Suarez said he wanted to leave Anfield
for Champions League football this summer.
Arsenal made two formal bids to sign him with Real Madrid also linked, but the club maintained Suarez was not for sale.
Liverpool finished seventh in last season's Premier League table and have made a positive start to this campaign while Suarez has been sidelined. They sit fifth in the table with 10 points from five games.
Now that a line has been drawn under the summer's saga, Fowler wants the South American to prove his greatness at Liverpool.
"You get players of the past who do silly and stupid things, it's not right but you do expect loyalty back," Fowler said.
"[I'd say] don't give anyone licence to shoot you down. Go and do the right stuff and be the player that we know you are.
"Let's start talking about Luis Suarez as one of the great players rather than the stupid things he does on the pitch." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24230416
