Sunderland boss David Moyes believes Victor Anichebe can be "unplayable" at times, but he has urged the striker to get back to his best and revive his Premier League career.
At just 28, the Nigerian found himself without a club having been released by West Brom when the summer transfer window closed last week, only to be handed a lifeline by his former Everton manager when he signed a short-term deal with the Black Cats.
Now Moyes is hoping he can get the man who burst on to the scene as a teenage powerhouse at Goodison Park back in business after taking a chance on him.
