Probably too busy acting heroic and yelling at his defence for him having to move an inch 20 minutes ago
I imagine Dyche thinks the game is lost and is protecting him for bigger games against Wolves and Bournemouth.
They did, you’re right. I take back my statement!
That’s fair enough.
It was good but I think Pickford make it look a lot better than it was.
That's the type of Free Kick Allison runs across and catches hahah.
Perfect height for a keeper to save
Disappointed Everton won't be taking any points off City. Had hoped for a draw, somewhat optimistically.
Title race is virtually over as it is and it will almost certainly be if Arsenal fail to beat Brighton later.

WH are another shite, pointless club who deserve to be relegated.
Think this result was expected
Arsenal dropping four points v west ham and Southampton is what will cost them ultimately
Brentford beat them earlier this year and these are the 2 best Brentford and Brighton sides pretty much ever... Everton are historically not relegation candidates
Yeah. I've been fooling myself, trying to make this title race more exciting with the idea that City might drop points somewhere but in reality Arsenal fecked themselves over with those two results. Such stupid dropped points for a title chasing team.
Yup, neither is going to be an easy game though the good thing for City is they won't have any CL distraction to deal with. But yet another midweek game might make it tough.
Thats a penalty. Pickford just goes through Haaland
I don't get why these decisions are not pens
Surely a pen? 
Nah no pen, got the cnut
That is in fact a foul.
It's a clear penalty. Refs are just stupid
FA cup the weekend after too. Chelsea is their only easy game remaining. Madrid, Chelsea, Brentford and Brighton away all 3-4 days apart, United cup final the weekend after, possible CL final the weekend after. Not many tougher ends to the season.
How that isn’t a penalty is beyond me
Haaland not selling that as assault, what is it? The pub leagues?
How is that something which is within the laws of the game? Haaland’s closest to the ball and Pickford just runs him down from behind with a hand slapping him in the head for good measure.
Why not a penalty?
That's not a pen.
Nowhere near enough force to send that big lummox to the deck. The commentators having a laugh there.
Haaland goes down a bit easy. Pickford lucky, mind.
I honestly don't get how that wasn't given. If that was United I'd be screaming
Yup, they've had quite a brutal run with these endless midweek games and you got to think it'll catch up with them at some point even this close to the end of the season. The Cup final is probably the one time they'll be fully rested.
Penalty without a doubt
It's irrelevant. Pickford gets none of the ball and punches Haaland.
He has to go down as if you don't go down you don't get given fouls in football.
Blame the refs for that because they've made a world where fouls are never given unless you go down.
It's as clear a foul as you'll ever see.
He didn't punch him.Make it up as they go along
Well he goes to punch the ball gets no where near and hits him with his arm or forearm or something.
Gets none of the ball and goes into player. It's a foul.
City are so good, I feel teams just coast through their matches to fight another day where they expect to get something out of the game.
West Ham rested players, now Everton resting their striker.

9th game off the bench in the PL for Phillips. Some career choice he's made to go there
Doubt you'd be screaming for a pen at 3-0 tbh
Still gotta hit the target which isn't often done from there
You might want to watch it again. Haaland didn't get a punch.
For me it was clumsy, but Haaland was looking for a pen, throwing himself to the floor. Contact doesn't have to mean a foul every time.
