VAR is just too damned slow!!!!

Wolves "score" at 14 mins and 31 secs. The TV is showing a replay within 20 secs that shows the goal was offside. VAR then comes up with a screenshot with the lines drawn fully 1 minute after the ball crosses the line....it then takes the ref a further 30 seconds to confirm the no-goal decision. Finally the game restarts 40 seconds further down the line. 2 minutes and 40 seconds wasted....should have taken no more than 30 seconds.

one in Serie A the other night was all but 6 minutes!!!!
 
not got a huge amount of options on the bench has he, what do you want to see?
I don't think he needs to change the personnel, you are right about the options. It's more about how they are set up. We have been way too passive, stood off Wolves, let them play. When we have had possession there has been no zip, we haven't moved up as a team. Richarlison had just had balls humped up to him. The centre half hasn't had to break sweat. He can win headers from 40yd balls all night.

turns out Fabian Delph is the answer
 
Did Gbamin get injured? Never heard of him, but just saw Everton bought him for £25m, he played 2 or 3 games, and then pretty much been injured for 2 years. Or, maybe he is just rusty.

I think he was just off the pace. You have nailed it really, he came, got injured, barely played. First match he has played since August 2019 apparently.

He could have done with some cup games to play in and find his feet a little.
