          Because of the FA Cup game against Sunderland.

          Everton were 2-1 down in the 89th min and won a penalty. Garner takes it with Barry on the field and sends the game to extra time. High pressure moment and Garner is one who is trusted over Barry

          Moyes has also spoken about Garner taking more responsibility

              He wasn't. Not in the squad.

              So it's possible. But he hasn't got a great record. Scored 2, missed 1 across his whole career.
