Super-sub tag beginning to annoy Everton's Anichebe

Everton striker Victor Anichebe wants to start playing and scoring more regularly and shake off his tag of super-sub. The Nigeria international came off the bench to equalise late on in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wigan.

"I tried to rubbish that super sub tag from the Europa League a few years back but it seems to be following me round," the 23-year-old told the Liverpool Echo.

"Hopefully I can start a few more games soon. The manager keeps putting me in and then taking me out and just trying to help me really.

"Obviously I have had the injuries and I hadn't trained for a few days before Wigan so it is important to be careful."
