I've been an ardent advocate for him since he was acquired last season. I think he has the technical skills to thrive on the pitch especially on the ball , his influence has been more subtle in previous games but still the pedigree was evident. Saturday was a glimpse of what he is capable of providing, I'd like him to be positioned more in the middle but he demonstrated even playing on the wing which is not his forte , he is able to adapt and demonstrate what a versatile player he is.
Arguably the most adaptable player in this squad , a later day version of our Zico, who done a sterling job for HK first era.
 

Everton garner new midfield talent

James Garner’s decisive display, playing a part in two of Everton’s goals, was the latest example of a purported elite club’s youth product showing out for someone else. Keen students of Manchester United’s academy were aghast when a star of the club’s representative teams was allowed to join Everton last year, having been a popular, effective player when loaned to Nottingham Forest. Bred as a central midfielder but playing off the left at Brentford, Garner, in tandem with Dwight McNeil – another one-time United trainee – on the other wing, caused repeated problems for the Bees’ injury-riddled and reconfigured defence. “He works ever so hard,” said an approving Sean Dyche. “He’s got a lovely honesty about him, he’s a very good player, and he’s very adaptable.” Such a work ethic, coupled with a dash of class on the ball, makes him an archetypal Evertonian, the likes of which are required if his club’s battle against relegation is to be won. John Brewin
100%, spot on.
