Everton boss David Moyes is grateful for Victor Anichebe's knack of scoring goals at the right time but won't label him a super sub.
The Nigeria international is the Toffees' joint-top scorer with four goals in nine appearances of an injury-hit season, level with defender Leighton Baines who has played 29 times.
Three of those strikes have come in seven matches since he returned to the first-team on New Year's Day and they have been significant goals as they helped secure five points on their own.
Anichebe hit the winner against West Brom and earned 1-1 draws at Aston Villa and Wigan, last weekend - all after coming on as a second-half substitute.
Moyes is looking for the 23-year-old to enjoy a long run in the side to show he is over his injury problems, having missed almost a whole year spread over the 2008/9 and 2009/10 seasons after knee surgery, suffering a further knee injury last season and a groin problem in September.
"I don't think Victor would ever be classed as a clinical finisher," Moyes said.
"He makes a lot of assists but has come on and played a part in scoring a few goals. If you had said to me in the past did I ever think Victor was a super sub I'd say definitely not.
"But I don't really care what you call them.
"If people come on and score goals I am delighted, whether it is for 20 minutes or from the start of the game.
"We needed a goal last week (against Wigan) when we weren't playing well enough but got one back to get us a draw.
"The big thing is he needs to get over his injury problems completely; he's had one or two scares this week and we need to see how he is."
